2010 WEB TICKET ENTRY WORKSHOPS  click here to view schedule and to register

The workshop objectives take advantage of the Web Ticket Entry online application. The internet-based version of the One Call Center industry-leading scripting technology is the same as what a Customer-Service Representative sees. You can use the same maps to describe your work site and instead of receiving just a serial number, you'll receive an email with a copy of your actual ticket. It's easy, accurate, quick and a safe way to enter your Routine or Design notifications without the assistance of a Customer-Service Representative. Workshop designed for excavators and designers.
