Boone County Chooses Plexis Group's pinpoint to Inventory Its Assets

    INDIANAPOLIS--March 19, 2003--Lisa Ping, Office Manager for the Boone County Highway Department saw a demonstration of Plexis Group's pinpoint product just over a year ago. Seeing pinpoint in action made the county's decision to purchase the product an easy one. "Compared to the product I was using at the time it is superior, I can get a lot more information out of it. I can break down things further and get more detailed project information."
    pinpoint is a product Plexis created to track and manage the assets of a county, according to Scott Stephens, Director of Plexis Group. It's a product Ping uses in Boone County everyday." Whatever our drivers do on a daily basis I load into the system. Then I can go back and track what each driver has done in one year, one month or for one day. For example, in the summer our drivers haul a lot of stone out to the county roads. I can pull up the road by section and find out all of the work done on that road in one year and even what was done per section."
    pinpoint is also a valuable decision support tool for budgeting, maintaining equipment maintenance scheduling, and performing parts and materials cost analysis. Pinpoint reports can also be accessed via date, area or employee.
    When asked what the biggest benefit pinpoint has brought to Boone County , Ping had trouble narrowing it down to just one. "There are so many benefits, I get good customer service from Plexis. Anytime I call they help me, I don't have to wait two or three days for a telephone call. pinpoint is Internet driven which is easy. It's also user-friendly, it's not hard to maneuver around.
