System Expanded to Aid Local Unions
The TITAN IV system has been enhanced and expanded to better serve local
unions with record keeping and the ability to provide important information
in a timely and more efficient manner.
Some of the new features already implemented on the TITAN IV
system include the following:
-
A Hiring Hall Dispatch function has been implemented. This
module includes an electronic voice recognition capability to permit members
to dial an 800 number that provides unique information regarding their status
and eligibility for future dispatch.
-
The electronic exchange of data (electronic injection)
between the local union and the employer has proven to be extremely beneficial
and a tremendous time saver for pre-billing and/or posting check-off
information.
-
The TITAN IV capabilities specific to DRIVE have been
expanded to include additional reports and the ability to selectively identify
members that are participants/non participants.
-
Other enhancements include the ability for local unions
that pre-bill weekly to calculate delinquencies for missed weeks and the
ability for local unions to bill for delinquent assessments.
In addition to those new features described above, there are
enhancements currently in the development stage that will include:
-
The ability to electronically export TITAN data specific
to the month-end close out totals and make that information available for
import into the CBSII Bookkeeping System
-
Export capabilities are expected to include delinquency
information that can be imported into a Microsoft Word document and ultimately used to
prepare personalized delinquency letters to members thereby replacing the
current TITAN Data Mailers.
-
A Teamsters Grievance Tracking System will be introduced
on TITAN. This system will facilitate the accumulation of information specific
to a particular grievant by permitting static information (i.e. name, address,
employer, etc.) to be obtained from TITAN and used to electronically populate
the Grievance Tracking System.
-
The TITAN system will be capable of taking advantage of
laser printer technology thereby eliminating the need to use the current
impact printers.
-
A point of sale printer is being evaluated for use in
local unions having a substantial volume of window activity. This printer is
approximately 4 inches wide and 6 inches long, and utilizes roll paper similar to
that used on an adding machine. This feature will eliminate paper waste
currently experienced when printing a single receipt on the worksheet with
receipt form for a member paying dues over the counter.
The TITAN IV system will continue to be evaluated and
expanded to provide functionality that is helpful in assisting local unions in
their efforts to better administer to the needs of its membership.
For more information or to request training for the TITAN IV
system, contact the Office of the
General Secretary-Treasurer.
