M2M Datasmart to Resell VisTracks FMCSA-Certified Hours of Service ELD Product Set

VisTracks, Inc., provider of the industry-leading family of FMCSA-certified Hours of Service (HOS) and DVIR applications, has announced the partnership with cellular communications and fleet solutions provider M2M Datasmart whereby M2M Datasmart will resell a branded version of this product set. After evaluating several competing products, M2M Datasmart selected VisTracks as their FMCSA-certified ELD/DVIR provider.

VisTracks gained FMCSA certification after they successfully passed all 318 FMCSA tests. Hardware monitoring the vehicle's OBD output successfully tested with the software includes the Geometris whereQube Eng™-80 Series, CalAmp (News - Alert) LMU 4230 and the Digi Wireless Vehicle Bus Adaptor (WVA). Additional hardware will be announced in the near future. Resellers of VisTracks' white-labelled tablet and portal-based HOS product set will not only have a certified product to sell, but also have the ability to self-certify their branded version of the software.

VisTracks Hours of Service product set consists of the Reseller-branded VisTracks' DOT-compliant and certified tablet app and portal, together with a tablet or smartphone in the vehicle, along with a certified hardware device attached to the engine that transmits data via Bluetooth, WiFi (News - Alert) Direct, WiFi or a wired serial interface to the tablet. This solution will enable drivers to keep electronic logs of their driving status, be warned of impending violations, provide for pre- and post-trip vehicle inspection, and follow additional state and federal rules as well as Canadian rules.

Key Features of VisTracks Hours of Service include:

• Very easy to use, geared to non-technical drivers
• Full featred app with several unique features for both HOS and DVIR
• Synchronized portal for near real time back office management
• Numerous APIs for customization and integration with Fleet Tracking software applications

"M2M Datasmart looked at several options and has decided to become a VisTracks Hours of Service Channel Partner (News - Alert) in order to address The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandate that Hours of Service logging for CMV truck drivers change from paper logging to electronic (FMCSA rule 395.15<http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/395.15>)," says Michael Switzer, President of M2M Datasmart. "The VisTracks solution will become a white label addition to our product offerings and fits nicely into our sales plan to offer 'state of the art' mobile technology solutions to the trucking industry."
