Hey there, MyTrucking family. Spring has sprung! As we all gear up for Grain harvest time, it’s wonderful to see signs of warmer weather. We have lambs and daffodils around our Carterton HQ again! This season we’re excited to share some customer stories, essential tech updates, and team member news.
Grab a coffee, and let’s dive into the latest from MyTrucking.
Behind the scenes
Tony Warwood, MyTrucking’s General Manager, shares a glimpse into the past few months…
“For most, the last few months are traditionally some of the quieter months of the year. However, they have been some of our busier months here at MyTrucking this year. The team has been busy building some exciting new features for our customers, which will be available in the next few months. More to come on this soon.
As we head towards the summer months we look forward to the warmer weather, ideally warmer economic conditions, and catching up with you all.”
Xero’s ‘Featured Apps’ collection this month
Every month Xero features apps that are popular with Xero users and the Xero team for their great benefits and customer experience. We’re excited to be featured in Xero’s ‘Featured Apps’ collection this month!
One of the many benefits of MyTrucking is the full integration with Xero, making invoicing a breeze. MyTrucking designed the Xero Integration to make it super simple to get invoices from MyTrucking into Xero.
Alongside being Xero’s app of the month, we’ve collaborated with Xero on our latest partner story! Our customer, TGR Transport, has expanded to become a primary contractor for major grain traders in Australia. TGR’s success is partly driven by their willingness to embrace new technologies and innovations, removing inefficiencies with the help of apps like MyTrucking and Xero.
