Hi Everyone!
Some good news to report. After Talking with a few of my favorite clients i have discovered that although Construction is extremly slow right now special events seem to be booming! I guess less people are traveling and want the fun to come home to us.
Let me know if this is true for anyone else!

Reducing Costs
We thought we'd share this item from a recent newsletter we sent out...
As we continue through the current economic times, many companies are looking for ways to reduce costs. Even if you've already gone through some belt tightening, it is useful to review the steps you've taken and see what you may have missed on the first go-round.
Here are some suggestions we think are worth considering.
1. Use email to send invoices to customers. This benefits your company and your customer by reducing your paper, postage and processing costs and giving your customers an electronic record of their invoice that they can save electronically and review later.
2. Streamline your operations by optimizing and combining your routes, and eliminating stops that cost more money than they bring in.
3. Reduce driver idle time by providing route and work order information electronically. Email work orders to drivers mobile devices and update their GPS devices with route information.
4. Use financial reports to stay on top of your company's sales and receivables. Total Activity Control has some excellent reports to show you the health of your business, compare customers and show you which services and routes are profitable. We have two trend analysis reports that are especially helpful to business owners.
We can help you implement any of these suggestions. Call our office at 732-747-0113 for more information.

Welcome to Our Blog
Many years of experience supporting small-to-medium sized businesses in the waste and service delivery industries has given the Clear Computing team a great many insights and ideas that we would like to share. We also watch daily advances in business and technology and can offer suggestions on how to use technology to support business goals.
We plan to publish ideas about increasing efficiency, improving office practices, using new technology and, of course, reducing costs and increasing profits. We'll also provide hints on using our software, for both inexperienced and experienced users.
Most of all, we hope that our customers contribute to this forum with comments and ideas of their own.
More to come....
