Integrating CoTrIS into Office Programs

Expanded calendar functions

Besides the usual native export functions (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, CSV, XML), you also can integrate CoTrIS Calendar (from appointment administration or attendance list) into a iCal compatible program.

The new CoTrIS service publishes data via an integrated webserver, so data can be integrated in concomitant web projects.

The following software is supported among others:

  • Microsoft Outlook as of Version 2003
  • Microsoft Exchange server
  • MacOS X Calendar
  • Google Calendar
  • Windows Mobile PDAs / Smartphones
  • iPhone (as of OS 3.0)

Depending on the applied software you can see changes of calendar entries almost in real-time.


Report to “transport + logistic” 12th – 15th May 2009

Weak start yet no crisis then

After a quiet beginning of the exhibition I was afraid that we too are haunted by the ubiquitous economic crisis now.

Whether exactly this economic climate was responsible for the increased attention for us, or whether it was solely because of our innovative projects and services, I cannot say. By all means, I want to apologize to all interested parties that didn’t get any consulting due to the totally crowded booth. Please, make contact with us again. We would be pleased to visit you, in order to outline our functional variety of our software solutions.

In addition to the usual contacts and presentations I liked the constructive conversations with purchasers from TomTomWORK environment very much. Our newly presented function based licensing open up new potentials to you and to us. As being independent from vendors we are glad to put these ideas into practice with you and TomTomWORK for CoTrIS.


CoTrIS for TomTom WORK

TomTom WORK functions extended

COTRIS collaborates perfectly with TomTom WORK, which is the most used navigation system for transport requirements. Our TomTom WORK tool set extends options of fleet communication and telematic by offering individually eligible additional functions and wide transport management system.

The modular software architecture of our TomTom WORK tool set and a flexible model of licensing enable you to use single functions as a stand-alone-solution or as an integrated part of your already existing system. According to your individual requirements and demands you can enjoy these additional functions for only 3 Euros per month and vehicle.

The software is progressively extendable and internet compatible, of course. The wide solution offers controlling options through all working processes: order entry, dispatching, invoicing. CoTrIS offers all options for extension and therefore a secured future of your investment is granted.

Our goal is to optimize the usage of TomTom WORK with the support of CoTrIS toolsets and to adjust it to your individual demands.

Your work will be more efficient and profitable. Due to the intelligent connection of commercial order data (debit) with transoirt and telematic data (credit) you have an excellent controlling instrument. Our concept “management by exception” informs users actively about relevant events and increases the reliability notably, it doesn’t matter whether considering freight traffic or other vehicle fleets like in handcraft, servicing, shuttle or limousine services.


Preview CoTrIS for TomTom WORK

New software module in the course of the “Connecting Day”

On May 20 LKS presents its new software module in the course of the “Connecting Day”, to which TomTom WORK invited all certified sales partners from Austria and Germany to the city of Wolfsburg.

Three weeks before the official market launch of CoTrIS for TomTomWORK at the “transport + logistic” in Munich, the meeting in Wolfsburg is a perfect platform for the almost 100 TomTomWORK sales partners to get a rough overview of the functionalities as well as of the “toolset’s” licensing. With CoTrIS for TomTomWORK we specifically are offering the approved functions of our broad transport management systems individually and with good conditions.

From the server add-on which for instance only takes the optimized order transmission of the upstream software, to the position-based driving and resting times or the visual resource plan, the basic required solutions of the clients suffice, which can be scaled arbitrarily to the “all-in-one-soluntion” by this innovative system.

Thereby the fields of application are not limited to commercial freight traffic. Service and workmen fleets benefit equally from the branch specified partial solutions like services for shuttle and limousines, for which the integrated “flight tracker” calculates arrival times. Thus, an optimized occupancy rate of the vehicles and a increased customers’ satisfaction can be improved.

Thank you, TomTomWORK marketing team, for the successful event!
