"I used to get several calls about what is going on at the plant in a day – with Web Services, I hardly ever get calls anymore." Another solution that Clark Asphalt has recently added to their toolkit is Libra's Remote Access Client. With this solution, they can log in from the office and see what is going on at the plant, add customers, keep the database up to date, and review and print reports. Clark Asphalt also recently implemented remote printers for both of their scales, which enables their truck drivers to stay in the truck after the loadout process is complete. The driver just pulls ahead, grabs his ticket from the printer terminal, and gets back on the road, improving their truck flow at the plant and safety of the driver. Billy estimates that the remote printer saves them about an hour each day and eliminates the extra touchpoints that would occur if the operator were involved in writing and handing off the tickets.
