How do you manage your fleet amid the coronavirus pandemic?
Cloud software to manage your fleet remotely
The coronavirus pandemic has become a sudden negative event, which destroyed many businesses. Isolation of entire cities, regions and even countries is the main tool in the fight against the coronavirus. Corporations and small businesses switched to a remote work format on the recommendation of their governments. Neither complex software products installed on specific workplaces, nor accounting books, nor Excel spreadsheets are available during the pandemic. Cloud technologies have become a solution of this problem. Users should enter their usernames and passwords only and all the information is on their fingertips.
The key benefits of any cloud solution are as follows:
- No upfront cost for purchasing hardware and software.
- Quick start and a free trial period or the freemium model (free for minimal functionality).
