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.

Shed 5 is upgrading

by Mike George

Shed 5 will be moving to a bigger and faster server next weekend (20 March).

Shed 5 is committed to continued improvement and enhancement to provide the best value service to its members, and the upgrade is part of the ongoing investment and development programme. The new server will enable more features to be added and service to members will be faster.

The move (from Hostroute to a Bytemark server) will take place over the weekend to minimise disruption of service, and the site will be back online and ready for action in good time for Monday 22 March.
