Customer Portal (Follow-On Tracking)
The Follow-On TrackingTM Module is used to allow your customers to log into TrackAbout and see information on assets and deliveries.
The Problem
- You sell the same products as your competitors and so need to find ways to differentiate your company from competitors
- You have customers that demand the ability to see assets and deliveries online
Overview
- Grant your customers permission to log into TrackAbout and view information about their assets
- Permissions are limited so a customer can only see their own information
- A customer can setup administrator users and manage their own logins
- With permission, customers can move assets around internally
- This can be done from the website or with their own handhelds

Configuring Follow-On TrackingTM for Your Customers

Once the module has been made available, all the configuration can be completed yourself, at your own convenience.
