Implementing a cloud solution is not just about technology adoption; it's a catalyst for comprehensive transformation. It affects nearly every aspect of a transportation company's operations, driving efficiencies, improving services and opening new opportunities for growth and innovation. After a transportation brand implements a cloud solution, several transformative changes and phases of adaptation occur as the organization integrates this new technology into its operations. Here's an overview of what typically happens:

Transition phase

Initial integration

The initial stage involves integrating the cloud solution with existing systems and processes. This might require some customization and configuration to align with your team’s current tech stack or your specific intentions for using the product.

Training and onboarding

Employees are trained so everyone is comfortable and proficient with the new processes. The solution provider should be available to support employees during this time. Some may offer hands-on training while others have a 24/7 support chat.
