As said in the title, a lot has been going on in the background of things here. The site was sort of down for two days. Got it back up and running as of Sunday 6/29/2025. I ended up having to upgrade my software I use to build this site (PHPRunner). After doing so I had to go through the whole site and fix a lot more updated codes. Guess that is the bad thing about owning and running a site. You always have coding updates that will take down your site fast. Anyways, most as of now are fixed that I found crashing the website.

As listed on the last post I made all members of the site have a pretty nice Address Book. I added a bit more to that. Then I added in the background other parts of the site that are not open to the public or even drivers of the site.

The stuff I added is for Sales. I made up a Billing Management System. It list all the information of who is paying the bill for loads hauled or work performed. As most know, sometimes the owners do not want to be involved with the movement of things. So they have another person of contact. I have that added into the Billing Management.

I also made and tied an invoicing system to the Billing Management. As of now I am working on BOL. That will be some how tied into the Billing Management as well.

What my thinking is. I want a whole website to work together as one main place. If someone fills out a Boat Quote down on the bottom of any page. That info that gets filled out transfers to the Billing Management. From there they can Invoice for the work, And make a BOL. After the BOL is made up, then it gets moved over to Dispatch. Dispatch assigns it to a driver with a Trip Number. There is where that turns into a load now. The driver Picks up the load and fills out all the Trip Sheet parts of this site. After the load is finished they mark the trip complete. That sends and email to payroll in the office. The Office pays the driver and Sends an Invoice and bills the contact of The Billing Management.  After being paid they mark the Invoice Paid. The whole time there is record of every step of the way. Then at anytime the Sales team can go in and see the info and all the notes.

Besides the Billing Management. I will have the whole Job Application tied together as well. The way I see it. If you have all the info on both the Job Application as well as Boat Quote. Why not make it so that info gets transferred to each part of the site Automatically or with a few pushes of the button if approved. A one stop shop for a Boat Moving Company. With all the info about there equipment (listed in the top menu bar). My down fall is I do not know too much about the billing part of things. But I am using commonsense of how things should work.
