PeopleNet partners with many fleet truck dispatch integration companies to create a paperless and automated environment that streamlines workflow, driving back office and driver efficiency up and operations costs down.
Messaging promotes easier communication and shorter accounting cycle. Forget printed instructions. Drivers retrieve load instructions or routes via their in-cab mobile communication devices. Minimize dispatch-to-driver calls with instructions sent to the driver for viewing upon arrival at pick-up and delivery locations. Drivers can skip the paperwork and key billing information into a custom form in the mobile communications device and send it to the back office before leaving their stop. This real-time update immediately initiates the billing process before the driver even reaches the terminal.
Geofencing automates, simplifies in-cab data entry.
Collect and report information and exception notifications about vehicle status and location, associating latitude and longitude with each stop throughout the route. A geofence is the radius (or "fence") around a designated point that triggers certain events from a mobile communications device, which are reported to the system. Automating the relay of arrival and departure date/time provides accurate, timely information to the back-office system without data-entry by the driver.
Centralized electronic driver log information ensures planning accuracy and HOS compliance.
Integration of electronic driver log data with the transportation management system provides dispatchers and load planners the information they need without having to reference multiple systems. Dispatchers can see a driver's available hours right in the dispatch application, along with other critical load and driver information. Therefore, loads can be assigned based on accurate driver availability information, which leads to better on-time performance as well as HOS compliance.
Engine and driver performance data integrated with a scorecard or dashboard system drives predictive analysis.
When engine and driver performance data are integrated with a driver dashboard or scorecard, managers can more easily determine a driver's current and future driving behavior. Over speed, RPM, excess speed, fuel consumption, long and short idle are valuable in identifying potential unsafe drivers that could burden the company with a costly accident. Engine and driver performance data is also critical for identifying opportunities to gain greater ROI by increasing MPG.
