42 commercial carrier journal | july 2016 technology Verizon Networkfleet solution targets small businesses V erizon Networkfleet, a provider of fleet management solu- tions, launched Expressfleet, which the company described as a cost- effective and easy-to-install solution for small business owners to meet their fleet management needs. The technology is designed to provide a complete view of a fleet's perfor- mance, allowing owners to keep their vehicles on the road and out of the garage, monitor unsafe driving behavior, reduce fuel usage and en- sure that drivers and technicians are as efficient and effective as possible. Key features, according to Verizon, include: • Ease of use by plugging directly into the onboard diagnostics port on most vehicles with no harness or cables needed, while the Fleet Man- agement Web Portal provides easy access to diagnostics reports, safety and efficiency reporting and more. • Maintenance reminders to ensure vehicles are operating smoothly and getting all needed maintenance while keeping track of service records. • Speed and boundary activity alerts that allow companies to know in real time if a driver exceeds pre- set speed thresholds or arrives at a designated location. • Vehicle location and stolen vehicle assistance that allows small businesses to have visibility into their fleet for a reliable look at their assets 24/7 and, if the worst happens, help law enforce- ment track a stolen vehicle by pin- pointing its location. • Vehicle diagnostics that provides reoccurring reports to predict and prevent mechanical issues. "With Expressfleet, we've created a powerful tool to help small busi- nesses run their operations smooth- ly and cut unnecessary costs by empowering them with the informa- tion they need," said Shane Scoville, vice president of Verizon Telematics. "The product's key features drive safety, efficiency and utilization, reduce operational costs and idle time, and track necessary vehicle repairs, which ultimately fuels busi- ness growth." Verizon Networkfleet also launched a driver mobile app designed to keep drivers connected and improve efficiency by helping to streamline routes and facilitate bet- ter planning. – CCJ Staff Full satellite TV access to premium and 100+ other channels.
