The mobile solution from AMCS makes it possible for Schulstad to perform better customer service. Niels Holm explains, “In addition to having detailed route lists sent to the smartphone, our drivers have access to pictures and descriptions of where to place the goods. This is a huge advantage to us and our customers when it comes to replacements and substitutes.”
