ASI website is shiny and new

You’ve probably noticed the ASI website looks a little different. From front page to footer, we’ve completely redesigned the website. One of the most important new features is its responsive design. Whether you’re using your smartphone, tablet or laptop, the site is multi-device friendly so browsing the site is a more enjoyable experience. It’s faster as well, with fresh content. Here are a few pages we’d like to highlight for you as you explore:

“At-a-glance” access to important info, right from the ASI home page.
Read Our Story to learn how we got our start.
Clients share their testimonials and collaboration success stories.
Client Login, where you’ll find loads of ASI support documentation and resources.
Direct access to ASI support is available 24/7/365.

I’d also like to thank the PEAK Planning team, led by owner April Ganong for providing design inspiration and project management. With her marketing and design expertise and industry knowledge (April served as PRISM’s Executive Director and Associate Director in the ’90’s), I can honestly say redesigning the website was an enjoyable undertaking.

As you visit the new site, we invite you to provide any feedback or suggestions you may have to help us improve your experience. Contact details are on the website, or email me directly.

Announcing the Release of VCKweb.NET 17.1.0.x

Clients using VCKweb.NET will be pleased to know the latest release offers many valuable new features and enhancements.

Let’s start with the login screen. It’s now easily customized by administrators. Messages can also be added to the login screen to provide important reminders and/or information for users.

This release also provides an enhancement to Admin/Grids Manager related to legacy field searches. The Add/Edits screen is now separate from the Request screen for boxes and files in the Admin/Grids Manager based on feedback from our users who indicated they wanted the ability to search on legacy fields in the Request screens without these fields being displayed on the box and file Add/Edits Screen.

Other new features and enhancements include improvements to Utilities, Search, User Orders, and Cart. Read the latest VCKweb.NET Release Notes by logging into the Client Resource portal, where you’ll also find other important software documentation and resources.

If you’d like to set up VCKweb.NET training, please contact ASI Support.

Tech Tip: Bin there? ASI Mobile knows.

Drivers for shred companies that use ASI Mobile for Veri-Shred appreciate the many ways it helps them be more efficient and informed about the work to be done. An example of this is its Bin Summary feature.

ASI Mobile’s Bin Summary displays the number of existing bins to be serviced that day, plus it identifies any new bins to be placed. It’s the perfect tool to help drivers determine how many bins to load onto the truck before leaving the shred facility. If you’re an ASI Mobile client, Bin Summary can be accessed after the route has been received by selecting MENU and then BIN SUMMARY.
