CM READERS have a chance to transform their transport management for free this week as we give away DBS software worth 21,000.
DBS Platinum starts as a single-user version, which offers a traffic sheet showing the status of all the jobs in the system; adding news jobs, vehicles or drivers is easy. The software also works with MS Map Point to calculate journey distance and time, along with the revenue based on the rate you enter. You can use the software to quote for jobs and tailor the resulting invoices to your preference.
The software is quick and easy to install from a CD and the company is prepared to offer training, although it may claim back travelling expenses.
If you want to upgrade your free product you can move up to Platinum Plus for 2500, or add extra users for £100 each. CM readers can access the technical support team by phone during office hours, Monday to Friday.
For a full review of this software see CM 14 December 2006; for your free software turn to page 35.
