  8. Operational Assessment Why Have an Operational Assessment? • Ask yourself … • Did you purchase COMMANDseries or Integra or was it there when you took over? • How much of the system are your dispatchers using? • How did they learn to use and apply it? • Command Alkon or Systech trained? • Learned from their predecessor? • Picked it up on their own? • Who decided what were the most important features of COMMANDconcrete or Integra? Operational Assessment

  9. Operational Assessment Unlike fine wine • Dispatch processes, system usage, skills and focus may not improve with age. • Are they doing all they can or just getting by? • With a lull in business do they call customers, reanalyze and act or go for more coffee? Operational Assessment

  10. Operational Assessment So, ask yourself … • Does your operation have well established processes, procedures, & goals? • Are you providing the customer service you really want? • Do you measure it? • Do your sales, dispatch, and management personnel work as a team? • Are you measuring and monitoring the appropriate indicators for success? Operational Assessment

  11. Operational Assessment If you are considering COMMANDoptimize, or INTEGRAoptimize think… • Is your organization prepared for the shift of emphasis from shipping to the order taking process? • Optimization needs good, accurate, and complete information. • Are your CSRs prepared for the additional probing and negotiating that will be required? • Are they able to map each order for it’s geolocation? Operational Assessment
