Box Tracker Web ^TM
Jan 15, 2012 by: Moser, James

Box Tracker, for those of you that do not know, is an application that was written by the NH Web Developer in my previous company, LRA Solutions. Box Tracker is a container tracking tool for the waste hauling industry.  It serves the small to mid-sized waste hauler as a container tracking, customer management, automated billing, and dump facility management tool.  The application was built with Visual Basic 6.0 and  a Microsoft Access Back end.  Reporting  and printable output was handled using the COM ( Component Object Model ) interface with MS Excel and MS Word.  

Unfortunately, Windows 7 no longer supports Visual Basic, the underlying technology, for Box Tracker. Microsoft prefers, rather, to force developers to upgrade to their latest framework .Net at substantial cost.  Microsoft's abandonment of Visual Basic is one of the many reasons that the NH Web Developer has abandoned Microsoft. 

But you know what technology is available on all platforms?  That's right, it's the web browser. By building applications that run on the web, the operating system becomes irrelevant.  The only things that matter now are internet connection and the browser.  There has to be an operating system to support the browser, but it doesn't matter if it's Windows or Mac or Linux or anything else. 

So we are rebuilding Box Tracker to run on the web.  This is the cutting edge of Web Applications: custom software for small to mid-sized companies based on the cloud computing model.  This is software that is available from any computer anywhere in the world 24 hours a day.

So the NH Web Developer is pleased to announce that Box Tracker has moved to the cloud.  Call today for a demonstration.
