More new features on Shed 5

by Mike George

I have added a Predictive Entry Behaviour Learning System (PEBLS) to Shed 5, to make many common tasks easier and quicker.

Pebls’ first job is to remember where members have previously been available for work and suggest place names when they start to enter a new ‘ticket’ for availability.

Pebls remembers the name, county, country, and latitude and longitude of places so the validation step can be skipped, saving time and improving accuracy, which is especially useful for busy mobile couriers.

Pebls works alongside Wilma (Web Intelligent Load Matching Assistant) to provide Shed 5 members with a simple and easy-to-use system, adding to the high level of automation which keeps Shed 5 at the bottom of the price league but at the top of the features league of courier sheds.

I have purpose-built Pebls, Wilma and all Shed 5 systems in house, using PHP, MySql, XML and Javascript/Ajax on Shed 5′s new Linux server hosted by Bytemark.

Pebls and Wilma will soon be joined by Fred (Feeback Recording with Entropic Display), a state-of-the-art reputation system to give Shed 5 members yet another top-rate feature at rock-bottom prices.

The Courier List is launched as a free service for Shed 5 members

by Mike George

Shed 5 members how have the option of a free entry on The Courier List

The Courier List is a directory of couriers and hauliers, to help the public and businesses find dependable professional transport for all their goods.

The Courier List only lists Shed 5 members, so is the only public list which checks insurance coverage to help give customers confidence their goods will be properly covered during transit.

For new or occasional users of courier and haulage services, The Courier List also has information to help them choose and use a courier service.
