Helpful Computer Tools

Technology is moving at a rapid pace, & if you haven't already climbed on board, you had better be quick before it's too late!
While our industry remains in somewhat of a backwater, when it comes to embracing technology, more people are starting to use it in their daily business.
On the one side of the spectrum, there are folks, who myself included, were born with a mouse in one hand, & a flash drive in another, while on the far right hand side of the spectrum, there are those folks who see computers & technology as the devil incarnate!
Somewhere in the middle is the bulk of the people in this industry, who view it as a neccessary evil, & generally use it for E-Mail & accounts.

Over the next few posts, we'll be looking at a few new arrivals on the software scene, that have the ability to make life far simpler & more bearable, while at the same time making you more professional, as well as some hardware changes that we need to embrace in order to take full advantage of this technology.
In the meantime, have a look down the right hand side of the blog, & you will see two lists.
The one list has some links to design software, while the other list is a list of business tools, that I have found make your back office run a lot smoother, & save you time on your admin, freeing you up to do what it is that you do best.

As a producer, recouping our transportation cost is all we hope to do. We don't look at delivery as a profit center. We did a study last year and found we were only recouping half of our costs. We changed some things and it cost us some customers. We have sense gone to the concentric circle delivery pricing method and it is much more accurate.
