Import Wizard Adds More Flexibility to TruckStops®

ARLINGTON, VA - June 16, 1999 — The Import Wizard feature included in the latest release of TruckStops Routing & Scheduling System allows users to import data from multiple file types, according to a recent report from MicroAnalytics. Users can map data exported from an AS400 or accounting/order-entry system into TruckStops' fields in a matter of minutes.

"The import wizard considerably expands TruckStops' ability to converse with other systems and software," said Mike Hooban, president of MicroAnalytics, "It virtually eliminates from the import function even the most modest requirement for technical computer knowledge."

The import wizard will take data from text files, ASCII format and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and enhances the flexibility of a routing system already known for its user-friendly features. With easy-to-understand fields in a Windows® environment and extensive on-line help, users can install and calibrate the system quickly and easily.

Available for Windows® 95/98/NT, TruckStops can be used either dynamically, for scheduling vehicles on routes that change daily, or strategically, for planning and updating fixed delivery routes.
