technology duced the product in 2010. To date, users have not been able to enter information, but that will change this year as the company plans to add full dispatch functionality and the ability to update records. To use the apps, customers purchase a Web service that runs on a local server. The service allows the apps to access information from the database that is organized for presentation on mobile devices. Users can download the app to as many devices as they want for no extra charge. Onboard apps PeopleNet, a provider of integrated onboard computing and mobile communication systems, last year announced its EventAlerter mobile app for the iPhone and iPad and a few Android devices. To use the app, customers buy PeopleNet's Trip Recorder software that runs on the company's in-cab devices. When a critical safety event occurs – such as a sudden Can acceleration or deceleration, or activation of the vehicle's rollover-stability control system – Trip Recorder posts the event details to a server. A push notification then is sent immediately to the mobile device. From within the app, the user can access all relevant event data such as the driver's identity, a satellite map view of the incident, time, speed, heading, miles driven today and the driver's available hours of service. The event details also include pre- and post-incident trails and the last five safety events to assess the emergence of a negative trend. Telogis' new Fleet 10 management system includes a mobile app that allows field supervisors to access information about their teams in the field. The app is designed to help supervisors make quicker decisions throughout the day based on location and vehicle information as plans and needs evolve. Telogis Supervisor is location-aware, allowing it to show the user where they are in relation to other vehicles and assets within their organizations. The app also shows customer information, driver data, recent stops and histories, as well as the vehicle nearest to a specific job. With the latest mobile apps, all it takes is a few screen taps to maintain real-time visibility and control of fleet operations while on the go. McLeod Software's mobile apps are designed to replicate the same functions and reports in the company's LoadMaster and PowerBroker enterprise software systems for asset and nonasset transportation companies. gamification improve CSA scores?
