Onboard mobile communications systems are a great solution for companies who run their own fleet of trucks and want GPS and electronic dispatch capabilities for efficiency and customer service. The benefits are great, and both the hardware and monthly charges from leading vendors have come down in the past year. Profit Tools offers integration to the leading on board communications systems, including QUALCOMM®, Trimble - Mobile Resource Management®, and Intouch®.
But what if your fleet relies solely or partly on owner operators, for whom an in-cab, hard-mount solution is not a viable option, or you simply do not wish to undertake the hardware investment a truck mounted solution requires?
For you, Profit Tools has created Mobile Direct™, a vehicle communications system that allows drivers to access and update up-to-the-minute route information from the phone they carry now.
With Mobile Direct, drivers can:
• See their list of pending stops assigned by dispatch
• Drill into each stop for details, including:
• Address and directions
• Reference numbers
• Equipment information
• Pieces and weight
• Destination
• Special instructions
• Confirm arrival and departure at each stop. These confirmations:
• Update the system and trigger any preset notifications
• Are automatically time stamped
• Cannot be entered until the driver has reviewed any facility rules and special instructions necessary for that stop
Among the key efficiency benefits:
• Drivers spend less time on the phone and on hold waiting for dispatch
• Dispatchers spend less time reading off dispatch information to drivers, and more time planning and problem solving, boosting their effectiveness
The Mobile Direct system can be used by itself or combined with our integrated handheld GPS solution. See how it works.
