IR solutions need skilled 'drivers'

WiseTech Global offers an e-learning solution that provides all staff with the tools necessary to get the most benefit out of its IT solutions – on demand and in their own time. The company’s CargoWise single platform solution has attracted significant support in the local industry. “Training is an investment in the future of your people and of your business,” says Mark Connell of WiseTech Global. While companies invest large amounts of money in software, they often don’t invest enough time in the people who will be using it, says CompuClearing training consultant Ncha Thapane. And since time is at a premium in the freight and logistics field, the e-learning solution provides a practical alternative. “The roles in the logistics environment are vast and complicated,” says Thapane. “And some can even be dangerous if people are poorly trained. “Just as any company would insist on using a licensed, trained and accredited driver for its large trucks, so too is there a need to have accredited and skilled staff operating IT solutions,” says Thapane. It’s about building people to build your business, she says. The WiseTech Global e-learning programme offers a range of training and education options, available at no additional cost to all licensed users. It includes videos, workbooks and activities to provide users with a clear understanding of the company’s IT applications and is available on demand. Online certification exams are also available.
