GoCloud hosted desktops put transport companies on the road to success with the freedom to work from anywhere.
If you visualise your current desktop arrangement, with its files, folders, software, email applications and even your own unique settings and preferences, this is exactly what a hosted desktop delivers.
How it differs is that all of this information is hosted in GoCloud’s secure data centres, meaning that your own equipment doesn’t have to store any of it on site.
This comes with multiple benefits for logistics companies of
all shapes and sizes, which are highlighted below.
From the management team and finance department to warehouse operatives and HGV drivers, every member of staff will have access to their individual hosted desktops from wherever they happen to be.
They can still use their usual PCs, but they also gain the ability to access, edit and share documents from additional devices, such as desktop computers at other sites, laptops, iPads and even smartphones.
The outcome is absolute agility, with your sales reps having everything at their fingertips when visiting clients, drivers being able to check logistical data with ease, stock managers submitting real-time inventory updates, and much more.
Greater productivity across the board will always come with financial benefits.
In addition, hosted desktops are cheaper to run than traditional versions because they use less electricity, which is great for your utility bills.
If you currently have your own server rooms, these will no longer be required and you can eradicate the costs associated with their maintenance, repairs, upgrades and heavy air conditioning.
Many companies in the transport and logistics industry also take advantage of thin clients.
These energy-efficient machines replace your sluggish old PCs
and are more secure and speedy, paying for themselves in a very
short time.
With hosted desktops, every single piece of data is securely backed up in our state-of-the-art facilities.

Aside from being a huge comfort, this also enables your logistics business to remain compliant and adhere to GDPR requirements, as all of your confidential information is centrally stored and protected 24/7.
