McLeod Founder Speaks at Users’ Conference
McLeod Software President Tom McLeod said the key to running a successful fleet or software company is making customer relations the top priority.
McLeod, founder of McLeod Software, made the opening address earlier this week at the annual McLeod Software Users’ Conference. This year’s conference was held in Birmingham, Alabama and drew 30 percent more people compared to last year’s, organizers said. More than 1,000 people attended the conference.
McLeod also introduced new products offered by the company at the 3-day conference.
iGlobal LLC and McLeod Software integrated iGlobal’s suite of Mobile Data Terminals and McLeod’s LoadMaster Enterprise Dispatch Software via its Symphony Mobile Communications Interface.
McLeod Software is a leading provider of transportation, accounting, brokerage and document management solutions. The partnership was formed last February.
“With this integration, we give our mutual customers a complete mobile office,” iGlobal LLC president Eric Bauer said.
McLeod customers who are using the iGlobal LLC fleet management system get automated position updates, two-way text messaging with canned and customizable forms, real-time electronic driver log status, along with auto arrival and departure updates.
McLeod’s Document Power Enterprise customers also have instantaneous access to critical billing and payroll documents scanned through iGlobal LLC’s signature In-Cab Scanning system. This integration is already creating waves in the transportation industry with clients like Paramount Freight Systems, officials said.
At the conference, McLeod Software representative announced the release of a new customer-branded mobile app that carriers can extend to drivers through Apple and Android stores, according to CCJ Commercial Carrier Journal.
McLeod Software had developed apps for fleet managers in 2010 and later released the McLeod Anywhere platform. This is a full-featured, mobile version of McLeod Software’s LoadMaster and PowerBroker enterprise platforms.
McLeod said his company developed these specific apps to avoid competing with vendor partners, adding that apps are “not something you can whip together.”
Features of these current apps include dispatch messaging, full access to driver settlement information, document and electronic signature capture and accident reporting, according to news sources. Pricing information has not been released.
“We intend to be very competitive on our pricing model,” he said. “I think we are doing it in a way that will allow us to be successful.”
