Tattle Systems client support helps you mind your business

  brittany-clarkWith more than a dozen variations of North Star Systems, Tattle Systems installed across western Canada, the first priority for Client Relations Manager Brittany Clark is to understand the client. She believes that once they’ve made the step to purchase Tattle Systems, it’s really on the client relations team to help them understand the value it can have.Sometimes, this includes overcoming scepticism. Clients have been in business successfully for decades, with established routines and systems.

Will a Tattle System help or disrupt current practices?

Clark gives an example from the anhydrous industry. A staff member would use a wall map and pins to mark locations of carts across their trading area. Phone in hand, they kept track of staff in the field to ensure product got to clients when they needed it.
“There was some hesitation as they saw the Tattle System as a competitor for their job,” she says. “Once they tried it, it made their job so much easier – they’re now one of our biggest fans.”
Tattle Systems help clients deliver product where it’s needed, when it’s needed, in the process saving operating costs such as fuel and wear-and-tear on equipment. It also makes operations more manageable.
“One of our clients said, for the first time in many years of working in dispatching, they were able to go home for supper,” Clark says.
Tattle Systems are extremely robust, backed by a support team to immediately address unforeseen challenges. When a software bug took the system offline in May 2018, client calls came pouring in by the dozens. The close-knit team in North Star Systems Saskatoon office brought their specialized skills to bear and had the system back up in less than an hour. When a client commits to buying Tattle Systems, Clark explains they’re also buying North Star Systems commitment to them to deliver the greatest possible value and benefit to their business. This includes the obvious, such as equipment delivery, installation and all supporting documentation, but also training delivered right to their desks via custom online seminars. It also includes personal follow-ups from Clark and her team.
“One of the things that we’ve realized over these past two years is that everyone uses the system a little bit differently, depending on application,” Clark says. “It’s really important to understand what the client wants.”
