ASCAR® Makes a Great Courier Product Even Better

Express-Pak© Version 3.0 Combines ASCAR Reliability and Efficiency with Easy-to-Use Windows Interface

June 27, 2006 (Santa Clarita, CA) ASCAR®Business Systems has always provided the most powerful and comprehensive dispatch solution on the market. Now, with the introduction of Version 3.0, it is also the easiest to use. Express-Pak© 3.0 offers order entry, tracking, status updates, invoicing, statements and a report writer … all with easy-to-use and easy-to-learn Windows style.

"We've gone the extra mile in flexibility and versatility with this latest version," notes ASCAR President Dan Citera. "Now, it runs equally well on Linux , Unix or a Window server environment."

The power-packed Express-Pak© 3.0 offers unprecedented flexibility, from order-entry to dispatch options as well as powerful load-building, rating, billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, human resources, independent contractor and driver settlement, general ledger and marketing.

Plus, Express-Pak© 3.00 features:

·       Personalization – Display your company logo or a photo of your facility on your screens.

·       Compatibility – ExpressPak interacts flawlessly with such programs as Excel, Adobe, MapPoint and mobile phones.

·       GPS Interface – Works with our dispatch programs to facilitate deliveries.

·       E-mail options – Automatically send PODs and invoices.

·       Room to grow – Modules are available as you need them. No need to buy a new system if you expand your services to include air cargo or trucking.

Indianapolis-based Wheels Assured Logistics has been working with ASCAR since 1987, and IT Manager Rocky Ellis couldn't be happier.

"There are a lot of things you can't predict in this business," Ellis notes, "but the one thing we always know we can count on is our ASCAR technology."

Long-time client Kathleen Holder, vice president of Master Messengers in Keeneyville, Illinois, have long been convinced that ASCAR's product is superior to others in the market. When her very old ASCAR system crashed several months ago, she decided it was time to look around for a better product.

"I looked at all the others and decided that ASCAR's product was superior," says Holder. "The dispatch with this system is really great!"

"I found the upgrade really easy to get used to," says Cindy Rohlack of Carr's Delivery Service in Corpus Christi,Texas. "But I'm really excited about the changes they made to invoicing. Now, instead of pulling them out, faxing or mailing them, I just e-mail them!"

The best part, though, is the service, according to Rocky Ellis.

"I've really been impressed," Ellis says. "Whenever I call ASCAR, within an hour they put every guy they've got on my job."

ASCAR Express-Pak© 3.0 is available as a new product or upgrade.
