Today, software development companies michaels, ross & cole, ltd. (mrc) and Trinium Technologies team up to announce the successful rollout of Trinium-MC2, a next generation mobile application built for trucking companies. Trinium Technologies is a leading provider of enterprise systems for intermodal and multi-modal trucking companies. mrc is a global software development and consulting company specializing in web application development software.
Trinium-MC2 is a mobile web application that lets truck drivers communicate with their Trinium dispatch system directly from any smartphone or tablet. Dispatch instructions can be sent, received, acknowledged, and completed by the driver on their smartphone or tablet. This new mobile application helps Trinium’s customers improve data accuracy and timeliness—both essential elements in the trucking industry.
Trinium teamed up with mrc to develop MC2 with mrc’s development platform, m-Power. Trinium chose m-Power because it let them deliver a number of benefits to their customers, such as:
-
Rapid development
MC2 was developed very quickly—requiring only 3 weeks worth of development time. Additionally, the m-Power platform lets Trinium quickly add new features and capabilities to MC2 as needed by their customers.
-
Reach all platforms
With thousands of customers using all types of smartphones and tablets, MC2 gives all of Trinium’s customers the same experience, regardless of device or platform.
-
Future proof
MC2 is built for the future—completely insulated from the ever-changing mobile platform landscape. When new platforms, operating systems, or smartphones emerge, MC2 instantly supports them. It gives customers their choice of smartphone and platform, both now and in the future.
The response has been nothing short of spectacular. MC2 already has over 1,000 users, with many more expected in the future. Trinium’s customers even report that MC2 helps them provide better communication and service, leading to more satisfied end customers.
"mrc has enabled us to quickly meet the growing demands of our customers in offering mobile applications that are compatible with smart phones," said Dennis Lane, Vice President of Trinium Technologies. "Now any truck driver with a smart phone can access our mobile web application, Trinium-MC2, to view and update their dispatch assignments, saving time and money for the driver and trucking company."
