• Diagnostic indicator reports display engine diagnostic
data, including diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
• Warning light alerts show when immediate maintenance
is needed.
• Maintenance reminders help optimize fleet health.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
How It Works
The fleet management dashboard allows you to set diagnostic reports and maintenance reminders to be run and delivered automatically. In-vehicle units detect DTC warnings and send alerts via text / email, allowing immediate action.
We need to know where our drivers are and what they’re doing.“”
• Driver scorecards show events like speeding, idling and
hard braking.
• Real-time alerts bring attention to unsafe / ine�icient
driving behaviors.
• GPS location shows where your drivers are and how long
they stay.
Monitor Driver Behavior
How It Works
Tracking units installed in the vehicle transmit back to the cloud-based system so you can access information anytime, anywhere.
There’s got to be a way to handle more calls without adding additional drivers.“

• The “locate nearest vehicle” feature lets you dispatch the
closest driver.
• Route optimization evaluates the stops in a route and
rearranges them to produce the most e�icient ordering.
• Notifications alert you when a driver arrives or leaves so you
know who’s available.
Improve Dispatching
How It Works
