GEOCOMtms Delivers Real-Time Feedback with Integrated Fleet Tracking
Atlanta, Georgia - February 16, 2006 - GEOCOMtms, a global provider of Fleet Management solutions for local pickup and delivery, announced today the release of A.MAZE Monitor(TM), an innovative GPS tracking solution for real-time performance monitoring. Developed in a joint partnership with GEOTAB, an enterprise software and technology company that develops resource management tools for a variety of fleet types and industries, A.MAZE Monitor is the only tracking solution that delivers these capabilities within a fully integrated fleet management platform.
"Private fleet operators are under pressure to reduce costs," said Michael Nark, president and chief executive officer of GEOCOMtms. "Fleet management is a core business function for these companies and they need to make sure their assets are being productive. This has a big impact on the level of service delivered to customers. There has to be a balance between service levels and efficiency. A.MAZE Monitor helps find this balance."
A.MAZE Monitor, a fully integrated component of GEOCOMtms' A.MAZE Fleet Management solution, is specifically designed for dynamic pickup and delivery environments. In addition to highly accurate GPS tracking, the system improves daily routing by providing a feedback loop into route performance. A.MAZE also captures and stores vehicle performance data such as engine idling, speed, and braking. Customer definable options allow users to monitor other systems. In cases where vehicles may be operated by multiple drivers, statistics can be captured for individual employees, making it possible to identify improper driving patterns so corrective action can be taken.
The A.MAZE Monitor GPS fleet tracking solution delivers several benefits:
-Visibility into vehicle location and route progress throughout the day
-Improved service by alerting customers if a driver will be late for a scheduled stop
-Better understanding of service-level requirements by monitoring time spent with each customer
-Reduced mileage by tracking out-of-route miles and unauthorized vehicle use
-Improved lease management and maintenance scheduling by tracking cumulative mileage
-Reduced liability by identifying risky driving patterns
"While scheduling and routing provides an optimized picture of planned performance, the addition of GEOTAB GPS technology enables managers to view unplanned activity and traffic delays," said Colin Sutherland, Director of Business Solutions for GEOTAB. "Highly accurate Geotab technology exceeds the traditional location-based use of GPS to include risk management reports, customer visits, activity graphs, and daily trip call reports. Geotab GPS enables managers to ride with their field force every day on every trip to look for areas to improve performance and productivity without sacrificing safety. The net result is reduced operating costs while improving profitable work hours. Managers like our software because it is easy to use and our summary reports allow quick identification of action items."
