Fleet Director Upgrade Breaks New Ground
Fleet Director, the 2009 Fleet Van Technology Initiative of the Year Award winning fleet management system from intelligent driving solutions provider,Trafficmaster has just been upgraded to include a range of enhancements that help both fleet managers and drivers. These improvements include: Actual closest vehicle based on live traffic conditions; Live traffic information and virtual mapping; Instant dashboard reports; Two-way messaging on new Colour Touchscreen and reflect Trafficmaster’s ongoing commitment to provide the latest technology for the fleet management sector.
Fleet Director is the first fleet management system now able to precisely identify the driver closest to a job using real routes giving managers an accurate picture of the nearest vehicle to a location, saving mileage, time and fuel costs.The system is also then able to instruct that driver on the fastest route full verbal instructions and a full colour route map.
The upgrade also brings a host of new automated email reporting systems for the fleet manager allowing him and any other named recipients who may be involved in a fleet’s management such as the HR Director or FD to receive an instant email alert should, say for instance, a driver were to break an exception condition.
With its own real-time traffic data, taken from Trafficmaster’s network of roadside monitors across 8,000 miles of motorways and trunk roads, Fleet Director is now able to offer live traffic congestion alerts overlaid on the road maps viewed on the fleet manager’s PC, with the option of the mapping being displayed in virtual mapping format if preferred and gives fleet managers advanced notice on traffic problems, assisting in fleet efficiency by keeping drivers to their work schedules.
Other features of the upgrade include more detailed reports when required and instant communication between drivers and managers via Fleet Director’s Colour Touchscreen.
“These initiatives are truly ground-breaking and some are unique in the fleet management market,” said John Lawrence, Sales & Marketing Director at Trafficmaster. “We have worked with our customers to develop these practical features that not only meet but anticipate future business needs of the fleet manager. All have been specifically designed to help managers and drivers work more productively while reducing the driver fatigue and stress caused by traffic congestion. Fleet Director continues to evolve bringing added value and improved functionality with this latest upgrade.”
