Texas Freight Services Saves Time with McLeod’s Quick-Find™
Exclusive feature of McLeod Software’s LoadMaster® IX is optimizing
search performance for the premium truckload carrier
Birmingham, ALabama – March 6, 2008 –McLeod Software,
a leading provider of dispatch, accounting and operations transportation management
software, announced today that Texas Freight Services, Inc. is already saving considerable
management time by using one of the exclusive features in its newest software release.
Upgrading to McLeod Software’s Version 9.1 LoadMaster® IX enterprise system in February
2009, Texas Freight is benefiting from its new, exclusive Quick-Find™ capability.
"Quick-Find enables us to very quickly and effectively search for and address any
issues that arise within our operations," said Frank Ngu, operations manager at
Texas Freight Services. "When our dispatchers are looking for information, it’s
a significant time saver. It allows them to enter search criteria, such as a trailer
number, and find what we’re looking for immediately, without having to go through
menus or multiple screens. We fully expect Quick-Find to continue to enhance our
company’s productivity in a measurable way."
Texas Freight Services, Inc., based in Houston, is a U.S. Customs Bonded local and
regional truckload motor carrier. The privately owned and operated trucking company,
founded in 1994 with two trucks, now employs over 120 people and operates more than
90 vehicles. In April 2007, Texas Freight Services moved into a new facility adjacent
to George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The ten-acre yard houses administrative
offices, an operational control center and a maintenance facility.
"The exclusive Quick-Find capability of LoadMaster IX is a new option that allows
a keyword search of the LoadMaster database for easy access to needed information,"
said Rick Halbrooks, Vice President - Sales & Marketing of McLeod Software. "We
are very pleased that Texas Freight Services is finding this unique LoadMaster option
valuable."
Quick-Find allows users to find any word, name, number or combination of characters
from key data in the LoadMaster database. Similar to Internet search engines, data
is indexed and ranked by relevancy. Users simply double click one of the relevant
items on the result list to drill down to the detailed record.
A more advanced search option is available that allows users to restrict their search
to a single table in the database or expand their search to the full database. As
an example, for a controller to find a particular invoice number, the selection
can be restricted to the Receivables History data table instead of the entire database.
Quick-Find is also available in McLeod’s PowerBroker™ II comprehensive product
for brokerage and logistics providers.
