About Contrans Corp.

Contrans Corp. of Woodstock, Ontario, provides exemplary customer service with sites serving Canadian and U.S. markets. The company has grown through strategic acquisitions resulting in a broad, diversified business.

The Challenge

Before implementing EBE’s mobile capture solution, Contrans used an in-cab scanning solution. The service was unreliable due to software problems and data center failures that caused frustration among drivers. It disrupted the flow of information between the drivers and the Contrans dispatch center.

The Solution

Contrans selected EBE’s SHIPS mobile application, a mobile alternative to in-cab scanning. The reliability, imaging capabilities, and intuitive interface appealed to Contrans. Its ability to improve document indexing and driver satisfaction were significant factors when making their choice. Additionally, the application’s integration with its dispatch and other legacy systems held great appeal for future improvements.

The Future

The positive experience and driver acceptance of the EBE’s mobile encouraged Contrans to evaluate EBE’s other solutions such as its seamless software integration into dispatch and legacy systems designed to improve document indexing.

"We’ve sped up billing by as much as two weeks for our long-haul loads, and our drivers are much happier."
