Enables two-way communication, job management and routing via Garmin GPS device -
SAN DIEGO – June 15,
2011 – Networkfleet, a leader in wireless fleet
management, today announced the release of Networkfleet CONNECT,
a robust set of field management capabilities that seamlessly integrate with
compatible Garmin navigation devices. With Networkfleet CONNECT, fleet managers
can assign jobs, dispatch drivers to specific destinations, provide
turn-by-turn directions and communicate with drivers in real time, all via the
driver’s in-cab Garmin device.
Networkfleet
CONNECT gives service and delivery fleets the ability to efficiently manage job
creation to completion, allowing them to respond quickly to customers, improve
routing and increase the number of jobs. Primary features include:
·
Job Creation/Dispatch: Create and assign jobs by address, landmark,
lat/long and vehicle, dispatch drivers to specified destinations via their
in-cab Garmin device, and proactively schedule jobs in real-time or for future
dates and times.
·
Two-way
Messaging:
Communicate in real time with drivers in the field, including custom driver
response options (i.e. free form text, yes/no, etc.). Send notifications in
real-time or schedule messages to drivers with important job-related
information.
·
CONNECT
Dashboard: Access
at-a-glance job snapshots showing jobs in progress, recently completed jobs as
well as a summary of the day’s job activity. View most recent messages sent
between drivers and dispatchers.
·
In-Cab
Garmin Features:
View, accept, and update job status directly from the Garmin device and access
turn-by-turn navigation and directions to specified job sites.
"Networkfleet
CONNECT gives fleets the power to manage their businesses more efficiently. By
assigning and monitoring jobs directly with drivers in real time, this capability
provides them with a significant competitive advantage,” said Keith Schneider,
president and CEO of Networkfleet. ”At the same time, fleets using Networkfleet
CONNECT benefit from the comprehensive reporting, diagnostic monitoring and GPS
tracking provided by Networkfleet’s wireless fleet management system.”
