The Qube 3 also offers:

• A tamper-resistant cover that protects all connections and thwarts employee efforts to disable the GPS signal in order to hide unauthorized vehicle use. If the cover is tampered with, the system detects the interference and automatically sends real-time email or text alerts to designated personnel.
• An eight-day backup battery in standby mode, and eight hour backup battery in full operation, (with one minute updates) that enables continued GPS tracking even if a thief cuts the wires that connect the Qube to the vehicle. The new battery is built into the Qube device to prevent removal.
• A built-in motion sensor that detects and alerts dispatchers or other personnel to off-hours vehicle movement. This feature can help managers prevent theft, moonlighting and personal use of the vehicle.

• Driver ID functionality enabling the back-office OnlineAVL2 software to capture drivers’ hours, generate time cards electronically, and analyze attributes such as speed and mileage to evaluate individual driver and overall fleet productivity.
• Pre-programmed messaging, with up to 100 customizable preset messages, that enhances safety by enabling drivers to tap the screen to communicate with dispatchers instead of typing a text or email while driving.
• Real-time forms-based reporting enabling drivers to indicate how much time they spent at a job site, what consumables they used, what they charged and other key data from the field for instant integration with the back-office software.

Navman Wireless announced today that Provider Enterprises, a New Hampshire-based school transportation company, has been recognized in the InfoWorld Green 15 2010 Awards for its use of Navman Wireless’ OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking technology to reduce fuel usage and achieve other operational efficiencies. Provider is one of only 15 companies to be named to the magazine’s list of “Green IT Stars of 2010″ for their use of information technology to promote sustainability.

Provider handles transportation services for more than 1,500 special needs children attending 200 different schools. With Navman Wireless’ technology, the company is able to track the location of its 188 vehicles in real time, monitor fuel consumption, optimize vehicle maintenance schedules, notify drivers electronically when a child does not need to be picked up, quickly route buses with or without wheelchair lifts as needed, and more.

In the first year of use, the Navman Wireless system helped the Provider reduce fuel expenses by nearly 10 percent for a savings of approximately $50,000. Contributing factors included the system’s ability to alert dispatchers when vehicles are idling in violation of company policy, route the closest appropriately equipped vehicle to meet the passenger’s particular impairment, eliminate unnecessary trips when a child does not need transportation on a given day, and identify unauthorized personal vehicle use.

The system also has helped Provider increase safety by identifying drivers who speed, fail to stop at railroad tracks or neglect to enforce seat belt requirements.

“This recognition by InfoWorld highlights both the green benefits and the business value of our technology, ranging from reducing fuel, labor and operating costs to improving productivity,” said Navman Wireless CEO T.J. Chung. “Having real-time insight into fleet activity makes it possible to identify waste, squeeze out inefficiencies and otherwise optimize fleet operations.”

Navman Wireless’ OnlineAVL2 vehicle tracking and fleet optimization software tracks all vehicles in the fleet in real time as well as measuring fleet, vehicle and driver performance. It works in tandem with the Qube, the Navman Wireless tracking device installed in each vehicle. The system’s real-time insight into fleet usage helps reduce fleet operating costs by improving dispatch efficiencies, reducing fuel usage, and identifying problems such as inaccurate timesheets, unauthorized stops and personal vehicle use.

Customers also have the option to equip drivers with mobile Navman Wireless communication devices enabling easy and low-cost two-way message exchange with pre-programmed push-button responses that eliminate manual texting. The company’s MDT 860 offers mobile dispatch and messaging capabilities, while its M-Nav 750 integrates dispatch, messaging and turn-by-turn GPS navigation on the same unit.

Improved Fleet Management

• Roadside Transport used to track their fleet with another system.  Whether they’re lost, late, or just to provide ETA, Roadside needs to find their trucks fast. Director of Operations, Joe Best, “The Navman querying and reporting is the best I’ve ever seen.  It really makes our jobs a lot easier.”
• The State Mileage Report particularly helps Roadside when paying Road Use Tax.  In a click of the mouse they’ve replaced hours or routing and calculation.  It gives Roadside piece of mind to know Navman Wireless has the most reliable and accurate reporting.

Reduced Fuel Costs

• Idling is a major cost for Roadside Transport.  “When the weather’s nice, there’s no reason to be running the engine.”  Navman’s Idle Report allows Roadside to keep a close eye on their fuel budget.
• Also serving to reduce engine hours Overspeed Reports help to keep driver under 70mph cutting down on fuel costs as well.
• Roadside Transport estimates they’ve slashed fuel costs by at least 10%, a savings of $843.75 per vehicle per month.

Additional Benefits

• Satellite Mapping eliminates downtime and improves safety.  Dispatch is quick to re-route trucks, saving them the trouble of searching maps.
• Querying allows dispatch to accurately and quickly give customers a location and ETA. “The system eliminates uncertainty.  Being able to verify where a driver is at all times without a doubt, is teh main reason we use Navman Wireless.”
• Some of Roadside Transport’s trucks are kept at the drivers’ homes and off site locations.  Geofences report the exact times that trucks leave in the morning, stop at their designated locations, and return at night.
• Payroll can be time consuming and tedious especially when your drivers take the vehicles home.  Time Sheet Reports help Roadside to pay their employees without spending any time adding up hours or dealing with disputes.
• Providing the very best customer service is Roadside’s number one priority .  Route To functionality allows Dispatch to route the closest vehicle to the job site within moments of a customer call.
