IDSC TripAlert - Know the Status of Your Entire Fleet and Minimize Non-Revenue Miles
IDSC TripAlert is a real-time asset tracking solution that precisely monitors vehicles along the entire trip ensuring that the driver is taking the most efficient and safe route to the customer. Asset control optimization is the most technologically advanced approach to systematically reducing out-of-route miles costs. The ability to have visual status of your entire fleet offers additional cost benefits in safety, security, and customer service.
IDSC TripAlert automatically notifies the dispatch manager if a power unit is late or out-of-route.
How will IDSC TripAlert decrease cost?
IDSC TripAlert produces the most efficient route at the time of dispatch and continuously monitors the vehicle to determine if it goes out-of-route. The minimized out-of-route occurrences translate into substantial savings in fuel, time, and driver & vehicle utilization.
A modest savings scenario is saving $960.00 per truck per year in reduced out-of-route miles. This calculation is based on an average of 200 miles per month in reduced out-of-route miles multiplied by $0.40 variable cost per mile. This equals $80.00 per month, resulting in $960.00 per year. For a fleet of 200 trucks, a total savings of $192,000.00 is realized in one year.
Seamless Integration to Dispatch and Mobile Communications Systems
All TMW Optimization Software is integrated with industry-leading dispatch systems (McCleod Software, Innovative Computing Corporation, Showme Software and TMW Systems Enterprise Transportation Software) as well as major mobile communications systems (Qualcomm, PeopleNet, Geologics/Xata). Actual highway routing is laid out using either ALK or Rand McNally software, whichever the customer chooses. These leading routing solutions generate HazMat and 53 ft. trailer compatible routes. A seamless integration results in a fast and worry-free implementation--and a faster return on investment. TMW Optimization Software also offers integration to custom-developed transportation systems as well.
Integration to TMW Product Suite for Greater Synergies
