THEY WILL PROVIDE DIGITALIZATION TRAINING TO THEIR EMPLOYEES

Human error is not only caused by doing something wrong, it is also human error to ignore, underestimate, or ignore a variable. The condition of the vehicle that will be on the road, will there be precipitation on the route? Does the driver on the road dominate the route? Are there any maintenance and repair works on the roads and cities to be passed? Many variables should be taken into consideration, decisions should be made accordingly, and the customer should be informed correctly. We are holding a training meeting to explain our new software, which will manage all these variables from a single system, to our employees. With our digitalization trainings, we will use our new software efficiently and prevent human-induced errors.”
