Project Goals
This Client offers an accelerated CDL (Commercial Driving License) tractor-trailer training program with multiple locations throughout Michigan and Ohio. They reached out to TIU Consulting when their manual processes for communicating with students became too inefficient and unwieldy, and it was time for an upgrade. The overall goal of this project was to create a mobile/tablet application that would replace the client’s old-fashioned, manual processes and streamline interactions with their students. This will make the learning process more productive, less reliant on paper, and easier for students to use.
- Primary focus was to build a tablet application that will allow the client to batch their students and work with them on a daily basis. Batching will make the process much less time consuming.
- This application also needed to provide several data sources that can be downloaded into a comprehensive reporting system.
Project Results
TIU has developed an efficient and simple to use tablet based application for this client that has greatly reduced the scheduling and logistics workload for the instructors. Now they can focus on the education and training of new CDL holders, resulting in better trained truck drivers and the ability to increase class size.
- Easy to capture data for records and reports
- Instructors have easily retrievable data on each student so they can monitor a student's progress and work on areas of need.
- Real-time access to completed coursework for students and instructors
- Instructor and students have immediate ability to review and initial each classroom completion.
- Streamlined operational systems and procedures
- Operational procedures have been greatly enhanced, allowing the same number of staff to handle a greater number of students.
