NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Roadside
breakdowns can ruin anyone's day. For companies that rely on their
fleet service, problems on the road can present business and safety
risks as well.
Azuga, a global provider of connected vehicle and fleet
technologies, has teamed up with Signature Motor Club, an Allstate
company, to provide emergency roadside services for its fleet
clients.
"With our focus on driver scores, coaching and rewards, Azuga
continues to lead the market with a fleet tracking solution that is
loved by both drivers and management. Safety on the road is
crucial, and this offering provides the reliability and coverage
you'd expect from a trusted brand," said Ananth Rani, Azuga CEO.
"Using the Azuga FleetMobile app, a stranded driver will be able to
touch a button on their phone1 or make a quick call, and
Signature will locate a local service provider in seconds. Drivers
can track the provider's location on their phones, so they know
when help will arrive."
Powered by Allstate's 50-plus years of delivering roadside help
for individuals and businesses, Signature provides fleet services
including:
- Towing
- Roadside winching for vehicles stuck in mud, snow or
off-road
- Lockout service
- Jump-starts
- Gasoline delivery
- Tire changes
The service, which will be offered by Azuga in August 2017, integrates the same processes and
technology Allstate has been using to give other drivers roadside
help quickly.
"With our unique network of service providers, our digitally
enabled rescues are averaging 28 minutes," said Allstate Roadside
Services President, Pam Dufour. "We
are continuing to make significant investments in technology to get
people back on the road – fast. And now, with the Azuga FleetMobile
app and Roadside Assistance by Signature Motor Club, Azuga's fleet
customers can expect that same service and commitment."
