Mobile Communications Veteran Joins PeopleNet Professional Services Team
MINNEAPOLIS - March 20, 2006 - Capitalizing upon its recent success in the marketplace, PeopleNet, the leading provider of onboard computing and mobile communications systems to North American transportation operations, announced that Louis McAnally, a former executive with Geologic Solutions, has joined its team as Professional Services Consultant.
"Louis brings a wealth of mobile communications experience to our professional services team," according to Ron Konezny, chief operating officer. "He has compiled an impressive track record in his 12 years of experience managing field and office based service personnel serving the mobile communications and electronic fleet management needs of the trucking community. His customer-driven commitment means he will be right by our customers' side with services that go beyond the necessary support involved in implementing a system. He and the rest of the Professional Services team, stand ready to help fleets achieve maximum effectiveness from their technology spend."
A graduate of Dallas Baptist University with a bachelors degree in marketing, McAnally joined the advertising firm of Saunders, Lubinski and White in 1986 as general manager of creative services.
He joined HighwayMaster Corporation in 1993 where he established the national accounts department and became vice president of account management, a position he continued to hold through the various corporate acquisitions culminating with the purchase by Geologic in 2004. In that position, he was a key member of the senior management team responsible for customer relations, implementation, product evaluations and customer life cycle management.
PeopleNet Professional Services helps fleets improve operations on any level from assisting you with system training to conducting a complete fleet process flow analysis from order intake to billing for every customer.
"We work with the customer to develop an implementation that takes them from their current 'as is' state to a future state in which our systems play a leading role," says Rick Ochsendorf, director of the department. "Working hand-in-hand with our customers we guide them to a creative solution of their transportation challenges. s. We stay engaged to bridge that gap between what works for the users (the drivers and dispatchers) and what works for management (the return on investment)."
