    Everything needs to be purely web based for this to work. Phones should be VOIP like Zoom or Ring Central. TMS should be web based like Ascend TMS (what we use). Accounting should be cloud like Quickbooks. AND your employees need to be self motivated to still work while Oprah or Dr. Phil are on daytime TV.

    THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE. you need to get prepared NOW. This s**t has officially hit the fan.
