Telogis launches innovations to optimize and automate fleet management processes

Telogis is introducing a number of next-generation extensions to the Telogis Mobile Resource Management (MRM) software platform at its annual Latitude business conference.

The new apps and solutions were developed to help customers run safer, more efficient and productive organizations.

Telogis Spotlight – a snapshot of your business in the palm of your hand.

The new Telogis Spotlight mobile app gives supervisors and fleet managers a quick, easy-to- read snapshot of what’s happening in the field by providing up-to-date analytics about the health of each of their vehicles and driver performance. Spotlight highlights critical data and areas of concern which allows users to determine where attention may be required. Spotlight automatically curates important analytics information into dashboards and scorecards, and helps interpret the severity of vehicles’ diagnostic trouble codes, so that operational teams are freed from having to sift through reports or log into a portal for information that might require immediate action.

 Field managers can easily locate and contact their teams in the field through the app, and receive visual representations of information about safety, fuel efficiency and vehicle health as well as nearby vehicles and drivers in either map or list views. Managers can also set up push notifications for key information and easily share insights and information with others within their organization.

 "Companies with large numbers of drivers, technicians and other professionals in the field are challenged to keep their teams safe while increasing productivity and efficiency – and provide great service for their own customers,” said Jason Koch, co-founder at Telogis. “By having all of the information they need in the palms of their hands – simply and graphically displayed in the Spotlight app – customers can monitor, react and pivot resources throughout the day and more easily identify opportunities to optimize areas of their businesses.” 

The Telogis Spotlight app will be available in early 2017 as an extension of the Telogis MRM platform. It has been optimized for iOS, but it will also be available for Android devices.

Telogis Compliance – take the guesswork out of HOS and DVIR

Feature enhancements to the Telogis Compliance applications for managing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations for driver Hours of Service (HOS) make meeting mandates simpler with intuitive applications that are tied to vehicle mileage and verified inspection walk-arounds. The improved Telogis Compliance apps for HOS ensure drivers’ HOS logs are up to date, while supporting federal and state rules as well as widely used local exemptions. The app is designed in a user-friendly manner so that the drivers can easily provide the application to law enforcement during an inspection. The Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting (DVIR) capability within Telogis Compliance takes advantage of advanced sensors on drivers’ everyday mobile devices, instead of requiring additional logistical components. Customers can now more precisely confirm the path drivers have taken to move around a vehicle when performing an inspection using industry-leading algorithms. This enhancement provides a streamlined driver experience while also making for easy administration of vehicle inspections. Telogis Compliance for HOS and DVIR management is available today as an extension of the Telogis MRM platform on the App Store or on Google Play.

 Telogis Dynamic Response Suite modules enable more work to be completed with better understanding of what’s happening in the field

Telogis Dispatch is a module within the Telogis Dynamic Response Suite that helps customers complete more jobs during the work day with fewer resources by improving utilization, dispatching work profitably and managing geographically dispersed teams more effectively. Telogis Dispatch also helps to improve customer satisfaction and responsiveness by allowing for more dynamic and “smarter” decisions than traditional dispatching with Telogis’ powerful route optimization capability and the ability to automate dispatch workflows. Telogis Dispatch will be available early in 2017. The next generation of Telogis ControlRoom provides a high level graphical view of all work being completed across the organization. With real-time, actionable information in a heads up display format,Control Room allows executives to take preventative action in real-time and helps ensure a productive workday. Customizable widgets keep supervisors in the know, and enable them to respond to business needs in a timely manner. Telogis ControlRoom is available today and works in conjunction with Telogis ETA.
