Ontario-based wireless firm BSM Technologies Inc., has integrated its tracking software (SentinelFM) into Trans+Plus Systems' Fleet Manager Professional, creating a new system that the company says will make logistic management far easier.
For large transport companies, the Integration of SentinelFM with Fleet Manager Professional makes everything automatic - from resource management to tracking and to communications.
SentinelFM uses GPS technology to pinpoint the location of a vehicle, and uses wireless data technology to communicate the information. Meanwhile, the Fleet Manager Professional helps to view the exact location of truck—eliminating unnecessary calls to drivers and keep drivers up-to-date with changes.
"The industry wants more options. As a Canadian leader, we need to offer that," stated Dave Wright, President and CEO of Trans+Plus Systems Corp. "Not only have we added the integration with BSM Wireless technology but our communications module actually provides a single interface to multiple communication systems. This allows our customers to utilize a mixture of mobile communication vendors for their fleets," added Mr. Wright.
"By integrating Fleet Manager Professional with SentinelFM, we feel that we can help our clients achieve their goals through increased automation, better asset control, and more cost effective communications," said Vince Bull, Business Development Manager for Trans+Plus, in a statement.
"This is important in a highly segmented service industry, where all carriers are being challenged to compete more and more effectively," stated Lynn Arcari, Director of Sales for BSM Wireless.
