FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EBE UNVEILS INTEGRATED SUITE OF DRIVER
CENTRIC SOLUTIONS
Recruiting, Safety and
Compliance and Performance Management Software
Improve Recruiting Success and Driver Retention While Reducing
Operating Costs.
East Moline, IL – EBE Technologies, the leader in enterprise
business process management (BPM) software designed specifically for
the transportation industry, has introduced a comprehensive suite of
integrated driver focused software solutions.
This newest addition to EBE’s SHIPS enterprise BPM
software, integrates data from trucking companies’ existing
dispatch, accounting and mobile communications systems to deliver
more efficient and cost effective processes for recruiting and
managing drivers and other personnel.
SHIPS Recruiting
and Driver Management modules include:
Driver and Non-Driver Recruiting, Human Resource Management,
Driver Performance and Safety and Compliance.
Companies can choose to implement any or all modules
depending on its needs. At the core of the Recruiting and Driver Management solution
is an
intelligent database, “Process Manager,” and “AutoFlow”
technology. The Process Manager gathers, monitors and analyzes data,
calculates results, triggers action and provides reports- all in
real time.
“As the driver pool
becomes more limited and operating costs continue to climb, it’s
more important than ever for carriers to have a more efficient
process of recruiting, monitoring and maintaining qualified drivers.
We designed the SHIPS
suite of driver applications to not only automate the repetitive and
time consuming tasks associated with these processes, but to leverage data from carriers’ dispatch, accounting and mobile
communications systems so that carriers are able to streamline
processes and manage information that is almost impossible to do
manually.” said Larry Kerr, President and CEO of EBE.
The
Recruiting and Human Resource Management modules are designed for
both driver and non-driver activity.
Applicants complete an application online or with a
recruiter. Once the information is entered into the system, the
automated workflows are executed.
Tasks such as reviewing applicant qualifications, managing
documents, verifying USIS reports and sending acception or rejection
letters are handled automatically. A “paperless” new hire
orientation process is built into the system to eliminate the burden
of filling out and signing endless documents. New hires review and
sign all necessary paperwork electronically with EBE’s digital
signature capability. Checks and balances are built into the system
to prevent a person from moving on to the next form if a document is
not signed or completed correctly. Information
that is gathered throughout the recruiting process is then stored in
master personnel files for easy access and retrieval by other
modules or information systems.
SHIPS
Driver Management Solutions capture, monitor and automate all
aspects of driver activity, safety records and compliance behavior. Manual
tasks such as performance reports, tracking driver documents and ensuring compliant
behavior are handled through automated workflows.
“EBE’s
comprehensive recruiting and driver management solution is
proving to be critical for our company.
We now have our pulse on all driver activity and can make
sure our drivers are safe, in compliance and needs are satisfied.
We could never track all this data manually.” said Joe Dohrn, IS
Director, Dohrn Transfer.
SHIPS
Driver Performance module allows companies to efficiently gather
measure and take action on the abundance of data stored in disparate
systems necessary to determine and manage driver performance. The
Driver Performance process provides a complete assessment of the
driver, identifying items such as missing paperwork, hours of
service compliance, CDL expirations and all measured criteria
monitored within the mobile communications system. The Process
Manager triggers events to communicate the driver’s performance to
the appropriate individuals. Driver
statistics such as driver turnover, safety records and regulatory
compliance issues are also tracked and stored in the database.
SHIPS
Safety and Compliance module monitors and corrects unsafe driver
practices. As non-compliant behavior is detected, triggers alert the
appropriate personnel and corrective action is immediately
initiated. Tasks such as generating violation letters and scheduling
a driver for an on-line learning video are automated and monitored,
ensuring driver compliance. Interfaces to auditing services are
available allowing safety logs to be automatically sent and
processed.
