A New Article Explains What Is The Purpose Of Car Insurance


News Image

“Auto insurance is the first line of defense when a person causes an accident. Without insurance, you are exposed to huge financial debts and legal consequences”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com (http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website offers car insurance info about different coverage types and money-saving tips.


  • For some drivers, paying car insurance may seem an unnecessary financial burden. A driver who was never involved in an accident and never filed a claim may consider this service useless. Paying month after month and getting nothing in return may leave these drivers wondering what’s really the purpose of car insurance.
  • Nobody should deny the importance of being covered. If nothing happened to a driver, this does not mean that he does not need this service. Nobody can predict the next accident. Causing an accident while driving uninsured will have multiple negative consequences. Even if that person was the victim, not carrying insurance will limit his claims.
  • Car insurance is used primarily for financial protection. Even when carrying liability-only coverage, the policyholder is protected. If he causes an accident, the liability coverage will reimburse for medical bills and car repairs. This also protects the policyholder from lawsuits, paying everything from his own pockets and even jail time.
  • Purchasing high levels of liability coverage is a wise decision, considering the medical and car repair expenses. In the case of serious accidents, the minimum liability coverage will not be enough. The policyholder will have to pay the difference from his own finances.
  • Full coverage will reimburse the policyholder for the damage his car has sustained. Full coverage includes comprehensive and collision coverage, plus additional services (rental and roadside assistance). They reimburse the policyholder if he is involved in a collision or the car is damaged by factors not related to an accident (extreme weather, objects/debris falling from the sky, rampaging animals). Comprehensive coverage also reimburses the policyholder if his car is stolen. Full coverage becomes optional after the policyholder owns the car. The holder of the car loan will require full coverage to the extent the policyholder owes on the car.
  • Commercial car insurance is used to protect the assets and financial interests of a company. Companies that use vehicles in their financial activities should buy adequate commercial coverage. Unlike personal car insurance, commercial coverage has higher coverage limits, provides protection to the cargo and drivers and can insure a fleet of vehicles.

Rootstock Software® Debuts ERP Connector to Salesforce Field Service Lightning


Rootstock

Rootstock Software Logo

“Field service managers are often disconnected from financial information and struggle to manage financial performance,” said Tom Brennan, CMO of Rootstock Software. “Now, with our ERP Connector, they have data at their fingertips, so they’ll have more control over the finances of their operations.”

Rootstock Software, a leading provider of cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions built on the Salesforce Platform, designed for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain organizations and available on the AppExchange, today launched an ERP Connector between its Cloud ERP solution and Salesforce Field Service Lightning. Rootstock will unveil the benefits of this connector during a Dreamforce 2019 (San Francisco, Nov. 19 – 22) session entitled “Improve Margins & the Financial Management of Your Field Service Organization” on Nov. 20 and at its booth #630.

Today, many manufacturers want to manage field service operations as an independent business unit with its own profit and loss – or at least more closely oversee the revenue and expenses related to these operations. Consequently, they need to equip their field service departments with the tools and data needed to enhance profitability, administrative efficiency, and customer service.

“Field service managers are often disconnected from financial information and struggle to control and manage their financial performance,” said Tom Brennan, CMO of Rootstock Software. “Now, with our ERP Connector, they have this data at their fingertips, so they’ll have more visibility into and control over the finances of their operations. Our connector enables them to streamline administrative functions, such as generating invoices, and at the same time, it can enhance invoicing accuracy, which bolsters customer experience and satisfaction.”

Rootstock’s ERP Connector provides the following key features and capabilities, which support financial management of field service operations:


  • CREATE INVOICES – WITH ONE CLICK – FROM WORK ORDERS. While field service has always been able to create and manage work orders, disconnection from a company’s ERP often resulted in manual processes that were prone to administrative error, process delays and customer satisfaction issues. Now, with Rootstock’s ERP Connector, companies can generate invoices from work orders with a click of the mouse. Invoices can be generated in a more timely and accurate fashion. In addition, manufacturers have the integrated information they need to improve cash flow and collections.
  • LEVERAGE A 360° VIEW OF COSTS TO ENHANCE FINANCIAL RESULTS. The Rootstock ERP Connector helps to track the costs of parts and labor at the invoice level. Field service managers are able to monitor gross profit margins by invoice, work order and customer. When billing for field services, managers can choose from flexible pricing options from within Rootstock’s Cloud ERP. Greater visibility into costs and more pricing options help facilitate improved revenue and profitability.

New Stay Metrics Research Finds Top 5 Reasons Drivers Make Referrals


News Image

The results of our latest research project highlight the aspects of work that most influence a driver’s decision to refer their carrier to another driver.

Stay Metrics, the leading provider of driver retention tools for motor carriers, announces new research identifying the top 5 reasons why drivers will make referrals within the first 90 days on the job.

“Attracting new drivers is difficult across the trucking industry, making referrals from current drivers more important than ever,” said Allyson Smith, a Stay Metrics data analyst who compiled the list. “The results of our latest research project highlight the aspects of work that most influence a driver’s decision to refer their carrier to another driver.”

To create the report, Stay Metrics analyzed responses from all questions in the Early Experiences Survey, one of several driver lifecycle survey products the company administers for trucking clients using its Stay Ahead™ platform.

Driver responses to the survey questions were compared to their Net Promoter Score (NPS)®, a measurement of company loyalty that directly asks how likely they are to recommend their carrier.

The top 5 questions identified as having the most influence on drivers’ willingness to recommend their carrier (or not) came from responses to “How satisfied are you with…”:

1. The compensation you receive from your carrier?

2. Your carrier’s wait time/detention pay?

3. The number of miles you typically drive in a week?

4. Your communication with your carrier?

5. Your level of work-related stress?

The first three questions relate to pay issues. The fourth and fifth relate to the impact of communication on a driver’s work experience, explained Tim Hindes, Co-Founder and CEO of Stay Metrics.

“The way these three issues relate to one another suggests that the overall system of work and the communication that surrounds it are the main catalysts for drivers’ willingness to recommend their carriers,” he said. “Accurate communication by carriers, especially about pay, is essential to positively impact driver opinions.”

As part of the report, Stay Metrics also performed a word cloud analysis that identifies how often drivers mentioned specific words in their survey comments. The results further validate communication as a key factor in reducing the number of detractors (drivers who are not willing to recommend their carrier).

Anyone can review the full, free report on the Stay Metrics website, which reveals the top 5 reasons drivers recommend their carriers after 90 days, along with the best recommendations by Stay Metrics analysts for how to maximize results.

Motor carriers also can supplement driver recruiting and retention efforts with the recent Stay Metrics report, “The Top 5 Areas to Watch with New-to-You Drivers,” showing why drivers leave their carriers within the first 90 days.

About Stay Metrics

Stay Metrics is a retention strategy firm. We’re passionate about partnering with transportation companies to help them increase driver retention and commitment. Our Stay Ahead™ platform amplifies your driver feedback. It encompasses our suite of driver lifecycle surveys and the Stay Metrics Reportal; which includes intervention opportunities, customizable reporting tools, and comparative industry data.
