Module
Increases
productivity and saves at least 5 minutes per leg;
10-20 minutes per container.
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,
@Road, 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 & directions
• Reference numbers
• Equipment information
• Pieces & weight
• Destination
• Special instructions
• Confirm arrival and departure at each stop.
These confirmations:
• Update the system and trigger any preset
notifications
• Are automatically timestamped
• 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
& problem solving, boosting their effectiveness.
The Mobile Direct™ system can be used by itself
or combined with our integrated handheld GPS solution.
