Some of the key features of this new Portal System are:
- Secure system
- Available 7 days a week/ 24 hours per day
- User-friendly
- Structured to allow query functionality
- Allows retrieval of data from three years back
- Accommodates multiple users fro one company (company pre-authorization required)
