SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today the launch of a new fleet management option
to extend its comprehensive portfolio of fleet and field service
solutions.
Flexible Packaging
Trimble® Fleet Express is the latest addition to Trimble's Field
Service Management (FSM) solutions, offering greater flexibility
for organizations operating fleets. This new service package
combines the ease and simplicity of a self-install, plug-and-play
OBDII device with the best features and functionality of Trimble
Fleet Management, including vehicle tracking, vehicle maintenance,
on-demand reports and scheduling and alert notification. Trimble
Fleet Express is one of three fleet management packages available,
providing businesses with a choice of solutions to meet their
needs.
"Trimble Fleet Express represents an innovative approach to
fleet management by bundling a plug-and-play OBDII device with
a sophisticated fleet management solution," said John Cameron, general manager of Trimble's Field
Service Management Division. "It's an ideal combination to enable
an organization to monitor and manage their fleet more efficiently.
It is also seamlessly integrated with our Work Management solution
which offers optimized scheduling and job dispatch so a business
can have complete visibility of their jobs and mobile workers
alongside their fleet, all in one package."
Trimble Fleet Express provides real-time location information to
companies that manage fleets of all sizes with all types of
light-duty vehicles, and provides a more flexible option for those
who use leased or employee-owned vehicles where wired-in devices
are not an option.
New Mapping Capabilities with ALK Maps
In addition to launching Fleet Express, Trimble has replaced its
Bing mapping functionality in its Work Management and Fleet
Management solutions with ALK® Maps, a dynamic mapping and route
visualization platform from ALK (www.alk.com), a Trimble Company.
This new functionality will benefit customers with best-in-class
mapping, forward geo-coding, street-level routing and a range of
enhanced features.
