Easiest Method Since Paper VTR

I’ve used a couple other electronic reporting programs on laptop computers that weren’t user friendly. Coupled with the fact you needed a WiFi connection to submit them made it a general pain in the backside. In my experience, it’s user-friendly and generally reliable. I can spend 5 minutes each trip to complete a report and submit.
