Trip Proximity by Solutionz

See all the distance/locations in the tool.

When you insert the tool into your website, marketing message, social media post, email messages, YOUR travelers create donation dollars to the charity of your choice, gifted in YOUR name. Solutionz automatically donates a percentage of commission revenues.

Squegee CRM

Squegee CRM was an internal, stand-alone, "hosted" tool within the Vector Trust platform for our use in client management / tracking. It evolving into a viable product, used by two long term invested holdings that were unhappy with the "retail" CRM options available [and those cost]. One of those clients wanted to be a consolidation player in the industry and offering a sales/tracking platform created synergy.
After 3 years, Squegee CRM was ready to go to market, but interrupted, sold, rebranded with the clients name and we exit-ed.

Vector Transportation Logistics was a Austrailan "full-continent" specialist service provider crossing industry sectors to provide transport, distribution, warehousing, on-time delivery, credit management and other administrative services. We operated an internally created "connected" ERP system (enterprise resource planning) that allowed for "instantanious" inventory tracking at any point across a diverse vehicle fleet, including multi- temperature trucks and large volume "road-trains".
Vector Transportation Logistics was one of our first full enterprise, self-contained businesses built from the ground-up. We sold the CRM / tracking software to a multi-national user, who modified it, but operates it today. The warehouse(s), fleet and all of our people were taken, with no employee disruption in 2008.

Court Ordered Classroom

Court Ordered Classroom LLC offered state-mandated and/or Court-required education and training classes, across disciplines. We did "Traffic School" for auto insurance discounts and court-mandated classes for DUI or other criminal cases requirements. CoC offered Florida concealed carry weapons permit classes, plus Federally certified training for OHSA "safety officers" required on job-sites across the USA.

Our mandate was the requirement for "in-person" / hands-on class experiences. When Courts and industry began to allow short-cuts/online/video click/classes and the super-low cost competitive entrants to the business arrived, we chose ethics over lazy, and walked away in 2014.
