SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Mar 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
inthinc Technology Solutions Inc., a global telematics company
centered on fleet management and driver safety solutions, is now
offering its leading fleet management and driver safety solution to
the utilities industry. With inthinc's comprehensive fleet management
and driver safety, utility fleet managers can now monitor driver
behavior with features such as GPS-based vehicle tracking and in-cab
verbal coaching alerts for speeding, idling, seat belt use and
aggressive driving.
"The utility industry is a fast-paced business that needs a reliable
system to ensure drivers are being safe on the road," said Pete
Allen, Senior Vice President of Sales at inthinc. "inthinc is the
only technology that actually speaks to drivers, coaching them and
improving driving behavior in real-time. Our system has proven to
reduce fleet accidents by as much as 90 percent and improve overall
safety performance."
The inthinc solution communicates via satellite to the inthinc
portal, allowing managers to reward safe driving behavior and
identify drivers in need of additional training. Managers can receive
instant notification via email or text message when a driver has been
in an accident or committed a severe infraction.

drivers when they have exceeded the posted speed limit of any road.

to conserve on fuel and increase MPG on its vehicles, both of which
can be monitored on the inthinc portal.
inthinc shares the philosophy described by the American Public Works
Association president in the Aug. 2011 issue of the APWA Reporter:
"Regulation and safety standards are at the heart of an effective
fleet operation," George Crombie said. "Ignoring safety and
regulatory standards is like playing poker; sooner or later you are
going to lose financially, get someone hurt, and lose credibility in
your community."
