FSI receives Presidents Award from CaroTrans

Freight Systems Inc were awarded the CaroTrans President’s Award in a recent ceremony in Cherryville North Carolina. The award was in recognition of outstanding technology services provided by FSI to New Jersey based Carotrans.

The award was presented by CaroTrans President John Hepworth to FSI CEO Dale Hamrick. Mr Hepworth praised FSI’s ability to provide continual excellence in systems development and support “FSI have taken us from a system, that was not much better than an electronic typewriter, to a state of the art information system in a very short timeframe”.

FSI was formed in June 1999, by Dale Hamrick and Scott Nolen to provide a full range of computing services for CaroTrans and another major client. Since then they have grown to a staff of seven offering custom software solutions, hardware support, network support and consulting to clients in the transportation industry and local North Carolina businesses.

They were initially tasked with completely replacing Carotrans’s existing non Year 2000 compliant system . This involved developing custom written operations software using the latest Microsoft technologies and replacing all existing hardware (120 desktop computers and 12 servers) at CaroTrans’s eight locations between LA to New Jersey.

FSI achieved this within budget and timeframe. Since then FSI has continued to develop the system from the initial base Y2K package into a state of the art information system that has enabled CaroTrans to dramatically improve efficiency and customer services.

Mr Hepworth cited FSI’s ability to create bug free software on a timely as the key reason for FSI to receive the award.
