EBE Technologies, East Moline, Ill., announced the completion of its interface to Instructional Technologies' computer based training solutions, Pro-Tread and Pro-Tread in-Cab.


With this interface, EBE's Ships driver management software automatically schedules training for new hires and at-risk drivers, tracks, and provides real-time visibility to status of completion. Driver records are electronically updated with no manual intervention.

The integration is done through Pro-Tread's Web services. Training details are obtained by posting a specifically formatted URL to the web containing the customer's ID, username/password, and a date. The data returned contains the driver name and ID, lesson name and ID, start date and completion status for the date specified. The information is then stored in the Ships database. From there, the data can be used with any Ships application. The Web request to record all the data for a given day can be scheduled as often as the carrier chooses.

EBE's Web-based driver portal also links to Pro-Tread's web site, allowing drivers to directly access their required training modules. All activities are time and date stamped through Ships workflow process manager, enabling driver and safety managers to have instant visibility to exactly when drivers are logged on to the site.
