Maptuit® announces the FleetNav suite of transportation optimization solutions
Burlington, Mass. - November 13, 2003 - Maptuit Corporation, a provider of transportation optimization solutions for the trucking industry, today announced the availability of FleetNav Suite. Combining FleetNav Fuel™ and FleetNav Alert™ with the already successful FleetNav Directions™ product, drivers will receive optimized routes on demand, as well as real-time fuel pricing, while management will have access to extensive fleet monitoring capabilities.
"With the FleetNav Suite, we've taken the best routing solution on the market and extended it to aid the trucking industry in creating efficiencies throughout their circle of service." stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit (formerly CEO of Lotus). "We are providing our customers with the ability to view their fleet operations in both real-time and through historical reporting, enabling them to make the necessary corrective changes needed to positively affect their bottom line as well as improve their customer service."
FleetNav Fuel and FleetNav Alert complete the Maptuit FleetNav Suite of transportation optimization solutions by integrating fuel optimization and fleet monitoring capabilities to its existing FleetNav Directions product. Used with a fleet's mobile communications system, FleetNav Directions provides "truck-friendly" directions to drivers, taking into account toll charges, hazardous roads, low clearances and road restrictions.
FleetNav Fuel provides drivers and fleet managers with real-time fuel pricing information. When a driver requests directions to their next stop, they are automatically created using the best fuel prices available within a fleet's fueling network. By calculating all critical parameters including: current vehicle location, current fuel level, vehicle's fuel consumption, current prices within a fleet's fuel network and the location of the final destination, FleetNav Fuel automatically calculates an optimal fuel plan and incorporates this into the directions to the next stop.
FleetNav Alert provides fleet managers with a real-time view of their fleet's activities as well as powerful reporting capabilities to determine fleet performance. With FleetNav Alert, managers can see where the vehicle is, 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.
