Paperless Route Sheets - using the handheld
device - reduce clerical time (and errors) in three ways:
- Printing paper Route Sheets is eliminated saving hours per week
by avoiding printing, collating, and distributing. And it also
eliminates printing and paper costs.
- Route Sheets are more accurate because they contain "last
minute" detail changes. That results in a reduction of complaints
and an increase in sales.
- Since the data is collected into a hand-held computer, it is
loaded to the system by an automatic upload (Palm HotSync). That
eliminates the time it takes to key the data from paper into the
computer. Also, hand-keying results in data entry errors that
require time to correct.
Note: With the Teak system, even though handheld devices can be
used, they are not required. If you like, you can run some routes
using the handheld, and some using paper.
