HY-NET "The Hytrol Family's Intranet"


        

Hynet is a private, secure space on the web where the entire Hytrol Family can easily access and share documents, calendars, and event information. We can centralize important company wide information, post documents, announce events, and much more. The group calendars, group documents, and group discussions, are all designed to help everyone communicate and collaborate online. Some of the uses are:

Document Management
Collaborate on critical documents or create an online library. We are able to move files among members without having to use e-mail attachments.

Group Calendar
Use the group calendar to name the dates and details of special events and sales schools.

Group Discussions
Conduct live discussions at any time from anywhere. Collaborate on ideas and share data needed to inform decision-making.

Members Directory
Provide all Hynet Members with a contact directory that allows you to find a member's phone number or e-mail address in seconds.

Contacts Directory
Easily access contact information for important material handling partners who are not, or cannot become a member of Hynet.

Links
Here we can post specification sheets, sales tools and tips, and manuals. Archive past issues of the Hylites for easy reference. Archive past announcements. We are able to share sales tools, competitive analysis, sales reports and other information pertaining to the entire distributor organization in a secure place.

Announcements
Use announcements to call attention to changes. Make announcements to the entire Hynet regarding ship dates, design changes, and meetings. Everyone has the same essential content information.
