What We Offer

1. Driver Management - activities tracking, scheduling, training, evaluation, compensation and safety features.
2. Vehicle Monitoring - real-time tracking for location, fuel consumption, maintenance planning and scheduling.
3. Operations Control - real-time route information, work assignments, operations automation, and driver communications.
4. Client Service Logs - real-time pick-up and delivery information, and recording of customer stop times, pick up weights and service locations.

We streamline your operations by providing real-time reporting of your vehicles’ positions, automating your dispatch and billing systems, and eliminating paperwork for your drivers:

1. Complete Back Office Integration - seamless exchanges of work assignment and real-time status updates.
2. Lowest Cost Communications - no monthly message fees.
3. Integrated Activity Management - drivers have less paperwork and data entry, and virtually all work order data is loaded into the dispatch system for billing automatically

Addressing Your Challenges:

In LTL, decisions are made quickly and in the demanding last hours of the day, you need to make your pickups fast and get the maximum productivity from your drivers and your vehicles. Missing pickups is not an option, and collecting more freight along the way is common. You need to know where your vehicles are, and what material is coming back to your docks — as it is collected — so you can properly plan how you will get it to its destination.

FleetMind’s LTL fleet management solution can streamline your operation by providing real-time reporting of your vehicles’ positions, automating your dispatch and billing systems, and eliminating paperwork for your drivers.

Seamless Back-Office Integration

If you have installed a professional back-office system like Maddocks, Carrier Logistics, TMW, or LTL/400, you understand the challenge of getting your business processes aligned with a new software system. The commitment required to implement a new system is significant. The last thing our customers want is to implement another system and to run more than one system simultaneously.

FleetMind understands these integration issues and therefore partners with back-office providers to ensure seamless connection to your existing in-house systems. Almost all configuration and day-to-day interaction with your drivers and vehicles takes place, not with FleetMind screens, but with the screens and reports your staff are using today. The result: smooth, silent exchanges of work assignment and real-time status updates. Your drivers know that dispatch is making the right decisions, and dispatchers have the time to deal with unforeseen events because they are not wasting time on normal business status updates.

Mixed Fleet Capabilities

Many of our customers already have on-board systems, such as Qualcomm or PeopleNet, installed for the long haul vehicles in their fleets. However, this has left their local or in-town vehicles lacking. With FleetMind, these clients can operate both systems with no disruption to their dispatch operation. The loads for FleetMind-equipped vehicles are managed by the FleetMind software interface and mesh perfectly with the on-going communications with long-haul vehicles.

Finally, you can take advantage of our lowest cost communications logic, and our best-in-class driver interface for busy LTL routes where driver activity management means the difference between making money on the route, and missing the goal.

Activity Management: A Better Driver Experience

FleetMind knows that effective management of LTL fleets requires accurate data and real-time action to make the best cost-effective decisions. A pickup missed or driver-missed dispatch quickly erodes the profit on many competitive bids. The challenge is to provide accurate driver and customer service time data without burdening the driver with wasteful screen interaction and macro keying.

The FleetMind system was designed for drivers performing dozens of customer services per route. Every keystroke matters, every possible time stamp and location calculation happens automatically, and most importantly, it happens in collaboration with the driver. Other systems attempt to capture all status changes with no driver input, diluting the precise activities that account for the full day.

FleetMind makes it easy and fast for drivers to be able to account for their full day, with none of the approximations that reduce the value of arrival and departure time reporting. Drivers have less paperwork and data entry, and virtually all work order data is loaded into the dispatch system for billing automatically.
