“The time to fix your roof is when the sun is shining, but no one notices the leaks until it rains!”
There are many reasons why residential property managers, college mailroom operators, and assisted living centers prefer package logging software that utilizes the cloud. The cost savings and reduction in risk exposure from lost or misdirected packages alone make a package tracking system like EZTrackIt extremely attractive. However, there’s one benefit no one ever thinks about – at least until it starts raining.
Extreme weather events have unfortunately become more and more common. Here on the East Coast, the impact of Hurricane Sandy can still be seen throughout the region. Right now, the good people of Colorado are facing devastating wildfires. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms have hit much of the country. There’s not one region that’s been entirely spared from Mother Nature’s wrath.
What happens if one of these weather events hits your facility and all of your data is stored on site?
I can tell you the answer to that question: nothing good. Recovering from a natural disaster is always an especially difficult proposition if you’re in the property management business. After making sure that all of your residents are safe, sound and accounted for, there’s the daunting task of restoring your physical location to its everyday operational state. Good customer service means getting things back to normal as quickly as possible – but that can be close to impossible if all of your records have been washed away by flood waters, burned up in a wildfire, or otherwise completely wrecked by the elements.
That’s where EZTrackIt’s cloud friendly package logging software comes in. While rain clouds might bring really bad news, the cloud-based package tracking technology of EZTrackIt means your records are always safe and secure. Everything is securely stored far away from your facility, out of harm’s way.
As you can imagine, determining the status of packages within your facility before, during, and after the extreme weather event can be extremely important to your residents. If you’re using a manual logging system, all of the records relating to package delivery could very well be lost in an extreme weather event. Recreating these records – if that’s even possible! – could take days, weeks, even months.
With EZTrackIt’s cloud-based package tracking system, your records remain intact and accessible throughout and after the extreme weather event. This will streamline your recovery process, and help your residents as they file insurance claims. Talk about superior customer service!
Don’t wait for the next extreme weather event to prove the value of package tracking software to you! Act now and prevent tomorrow’s headache today!
