What users are saying

"The Mobile Comm module has proven to be one of the most productive additions to our Profit Tools system. We have seen a significant decrease in dispatcher stress by dramatically reducing the number of phone calls and two-way radio conversations between driver and dispatcher. The overall office environment has improved by bringing a closer sense of calm to a notoriously high stress environment. We are able to secure more data, more precisely, and in less time by transferring data via Mobile Comm. This has allowed for more time for each dispatcher to evaluate their next decision, ultimately increasing productivity. It has also allowed for Ace Cargo to increase our accountability for security, arrival/departure times, and real-time proof of delivery. This extra information has proven to be an extremely useful tool. The staff at Profit Tools have always made themselves available to our new requirements and eager to help in the resolution of our newest challenges. Our success has been through education and discussion with the Profit Tools team to develop the format we need for our operations. That is what makes Mobile Comm a winning addition to our Profit Tools package. I can not imagine our operation without Mobile Comm."

"K Trucking & Son Inc has been a customer since 1998 and we have been very happy with the Profit Tools program. One of the features that makes Profit Tools an excellent product is we were able to purchase program modules and user licenses as our company grew and when we needed them, therefore not having a huge cash layout for the program. By staying on the annual support and upgrade, we have access to all the latest innovations and unique changes that make managing our company’s day to day operations much easier. Tech support is knowledgeable and available, minimizing the time in which issues are resolved. Thank you to an excellent product and staff."

Products

Mobile Comm / GPS / EOBR

The Profit Tools Mobile Communications Interface Module links your in-cab devices directly to your dispatch and customer service operations.  Supported in-cab systems include Qualcomm®, Trimble® (formerly @Road), and PeopleNet®.

Got the Message?

Send routing and load information to drivers directly from Dispatch, without re-keying. Receive confirmations of arrival and departure at each stop from your drivers, as well as updated shipment information such as a equipment numbers, bill of lading, piece counts and weights, seal, etc.  Gain Efficiency & Accuracy as a result, and keep your drivers from being held up with bad information.

It’s Quiet. Too Quiet…

Whenever someone first visits one of our customers with Mobile Communications, they ask the same question:  “So… Are you guys busy?”  The reason is, the chaos of people screaming at drivers over phones and radios, and at each other about drivers on hold and appointments being missed, is simply not there.  What’s left is an eerie, efficient, silence.  The kind where people get a lot more work done in the same amount of time, and make fewer mistakes.  The kind you want in your Dispatch office.

Linking GPS & EOBR to Dispatch

Profit Tools automatically records last-reported GPS position and timestamp for each vehicle, and makes a current position report available on demand.  For in-cab systems with EOBR enablement, Profit Tools brings in driver hours available and makes these readily accessible to dispatchers.  Incoming arrival and departure times also trigger automatic Waiting Time and Appointment Management alerts.

Don’t Forget the Customer

With Profit Tools Visibility Solutions, you can also make the in-cab data you want accessible to customers automatically, further improving their satisfaction and your efficiency.  For customers with time-sensitive Visibility requirements, Mobile Comm allows you to keep them informed 24 hours a day as drivers complete their assignments, even if there’s no overnight staff at your office.
