SMSBLASTER.COM web edition - Case study 7: Train Maintenance
StarRail-Cleaning is contractor of one of Europe's largest national railway companies. It is responsible for cleaning and maintenance of passenger trains. StarRail-Cleaning has about 1400 employees.
Most employees are scheduled for cleaning-jobs, such as emptying rubbish bins and cleaning toilets during the short stops at the different stations.
A control centre plans, besides the monthly shift schedule, the allocation of the "flying teams". As you will see in the following example all teams communicate with the control central via SMS.
Fact: The short and concise communication by SMS results in simple an efficient coordination of bicycle messengers.
As main instrument of communication, the SMSBLASTER.COM web

All replies of the messengers are received in the Two-Way Inbox of the SMSBLASTER.COM web edition.
StarRail-Cleaning maintains an address group for every team in the address book of the SMSBLASTER.COM web edition: Team X, Team Y, etc
