Universal Express Announces Technology Expansion to Meet Increased Service and Division Demands
Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP), Universal Express announces its technology and communication expansion to meet its need for greater and more efficient communication and data demands. The scope of Universals' needs was determined by its increase in services and national coverage, including both satellite offices and Luggage Express Found locations.
"Universal Express growth in size and in services has created a demand for increased communications and data distribution solutions. Currently, Universal is meeting this challenge in rapid growth in its Luggage Express Found division by implementing its real time, proprietary tracking system, ELuggistics, which will be used to track luggage transported by Luggage Express Found through wireless tracking and monitoring systems generally found in larger transportation companies," said Richard A. Altomare, Chairman and CEO of Universal Express, Inc.
"We will be implementing a Cingular Wireless system which includes Bar Code scanners and PDA devices to allow efficient information processing between Luggage Express Found drivers and its customer service personnel. This system also includes a multi-user network aware accounting system which ties directly into the luggage tracking and data system and enabling real time accounting functions to help provide increased and up to the minute billing and tracking," said Cecilia Vesnesky, Universal Express COO.
"With the expansion of LE Found nationwide and other divisions and offices working in various areas, we have found it necessary to create a wide area network to help keep communications and data flowing throughout our organization. This includes high bandwidth data and communication lines, increased local and regional phone capabilities, and wireless data solutions," continued Mr. Altomare.
"These upgrades will enable Universal Express data services to communicate in real time between these locations, and each location if necessary can function independently of each other in the event of regional power failures, or hurricanes etc."
"Our next task at hand is to increase our Call Center Capabilities from 50,000 per minute and therefore we are looking into further upgrading our CSR management tools," said Sabine Wehder, Luggage Express Director.
"Obviously these upgrades indicate internal growth and anticipated future business. In my experience, often a company's technology preparation and development can show as much as a quarterly report or press release," concluded Mr. Altomare.
