Invoices and payments are both sent to QuickBooks automatically. • Vehicles are automatically admitted into the lot when the driver marks the vehicle as Dropped in CommLink™. The management of the storage lot is simplified - and mobile enabled for continued picture-taking and physical inventories. Vehicles are easy to find, and the integration with ADD makes it easy to identify registered owners and lien holders, and manage the certified letter mailing process. The Ranger TMS - with CommLink™ - is: • End-to-end: from call-taking, dispatching, GPS tracking/mapping, lot management, and accounting (link to QB). • Fully-integrated: mapping solution (no costly bolt-on GPS product required) enables visual dispatch from the Ranger map - dispatchers see ALL trucks in close proximity and ALL open jobs for better deployment decisions • Mobile-enabled: drivers receive all call details, have navigation to the scene, and update call details - all with the CommLink™ mobile solution The Ranger SST Tow Management Solution: Advanced Technology - Superior Performance.
