“SmartDrops is an indispensable business tool. Being able to see the orders without
having to print unneeded tickets is a huge improvement. Sequencing and directions
help new drivers. Not having to start each shift with route planning saves driver
time. Selecting the orders and building routes is fast and easy. These efficiencies
have cut operational costs while increasing capacity.”
STANDARD OIL
“It would hurt Santa Energy’s bottom line to return
to our pre-SmartDrops operations. The ability to
view the delivery territory and street level details
for all orders has greatly increased efficiency.
Orders are now given to drivers based on a general
delivery location rather than hard-set zones.”
SANTA ENERGY
“Smart Drops is a great tool for drivers &
dispatchers. Keeping map grids or zones up to
date gets overwhelming. Smart Drops easily allows
multiple drivers to efficiency be in the same town.
It also allows drivers to learn new areas quickly.
Smart Drops is a valuable tool for Alvin Hollis.”
ALVIN HOLLIS
“Visual order display is extremely helpful. We can
see how we can pull ahead on degree days and
where orders are in relation to mandatory
deliveries. Delivery decisions are now better
balanced in terms of gallons and miles driven.
The sequencing and tight grouping of stops is
beneficial and the routes are ideal with great
feedback from the drivers. Customer support and
training is superb.... Vertrax is a very good partner.”
