FleetNav Alert™ to Allow Stevens Transport Driver Managers Monitor and Support Their Drivers
Burlington, Mass. August 3, 2004
Maptuit Corporation, a provider of sophisticated transportation optimization solutions for the trucking industry, today announced Stevens Transport has installed Maptuit's FleetNav Alert™. Stevens Transport will be using Maptuit's FleetNav Alert to give their managers the tools they need to gain valuable insight into their fleet activity throughout North America.
"At Stevens Transport we want our driver managers to have the tools they need to keep their drivers safe and make sure they get to the customer on time," stated Randy Barnett, Project Manager of Stevens Transport. "With Maptuit's FleetNav Alert, our fleet managers can quickly determine if one of their drivers is out-of-route (OoR) by being automatically notified with a break screen message within our dispatch software. The driver manager can then go to the web to view a screen within Maptuit's FleetNav Alert to gather more information on the driver's current location, determine how far out-of-route the driver is and quickly assess how this will affect the remainder of their route. By using FleetNav Alert to help us manage our drivers, we have another great tool to assist us in controlling our overall operating costs."
"I am impressed with the commitment Stevens Transport has made in supporting their drivers and driver managers," stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. "With their current investment in FleetNav Alert, along with their ongoing usage of Maptuit's FleetNav Directions, Stevens has made a clear choice in backing up this commitment by providing state-of-the-art fleet routing and management tools. Their drivers are using FleetNav Directions to help them navigate to their customer location efficiently and safely, and their driver managers are using FleetNav Alert to gain a comprehensive view of their fleet operations in real time to better manage their drivers."
Using Maptuit's FleetNav Alert, Stevens Transport is able to provide their management team with a solution that offers real-time monitoring of their fleet's activities. Driver managers can see the location of each truck on a map, establish if the driver is taking the least-cost route, and determine if the load will be arriving at the customer location on time. Using pre-defined parameters, FleetNav Alert issues real-time alerts when trucks leave their assigned routes enabling fleets to better control delivery performance and costs. Flexible reporting tools enable fleet managers to track driver performance and determine where corrective action is needed.
Maptuit's FleetNav Suite of tools provides trucking companies with a solution to help increase efficiencies and improve their bottom line through intelligent routing, fuel optimization and fleet monitoring capabilities. These tools enable back-office staff to manage customer locations and monitor fleet performance from any computer with Internet access. It is a subscription-based solution that integrates with all leading fleet management and mobile communications systems to provide a comprehensive transportation optimization solution.
