Safefreight Launches Fifth Release of GPS Fleet Management Software

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) March 25, 2008 -- Safefreight Technology today announced that SmartFleet® Manager version five (V.5) is live to their customers. SmartFleet® Manager V.5 extends Safefreight's leadership in online GPS tracking software (http://www.safefreight.com/fleet-management-products/smartfleet-manager/) to provide meaningful real-time information about the safety, security and productivity of vehicles and other mobile assets - and the workforce operating them.

Enhancements to SmartFleet® Manager V.5 were based on the feedback of Safefreight's clients and business trends that resulted in an improved online software service. With SmartFleet® Manager, Safefreight's customers can further refine and improve their own fleet operations through vehicle tracking (http://www.safefreight.com/fleet-management-technology/avl-fleet-tracking/) and fleet management on-demand through a web portal.

Some of the new features of SmartFleet? Manager V.5 are:

? Routing optimization - generate and optimize routes and send turn-by-turn directions to drivers in real-time

? Find Nearest - enables more efficient deployment of fleet assets

? Ability to visualize SmartFleet® data in Google Earth

? Quicklinks provides users with the ability to customize menu structure to their needs and provides more workspace in the application

? Enhanced fleet reports that are easier to read and interpret

? A customizable service scheduler that uses odometer, engine hours or elapsed time values to identify vehicles that require servicing (minimizes unscheduled maintenance, costly repairs and downtime)

? Speeding alerts based on available road attributes

? Giant Maps - Rich mapping supports maps of any size - ideal for plasma or LCD monitors up to 42" diagonal

"SmartFleet® Manager V.5 adds powerful innovations in how users leverage real-time fleet information to operate and manage vehicles and drivers," said Earl Bourque, Safefreight's Chief Technical Officer. "It empowers businesses by enabling users to manage their fleets directly online to improve productivity, safety and profitability across the board," he added.

Through the SmartFleet® vehicle tracking system (http://www.safefreight.com/fleet-management-products/), critical location and operating information is gathered through a vehicle-mounted device, communicated wirelessly, and served to Safefreight's customers through Safefreight's vehicle-to-internet application, SmartFleet® Manager. Information can be accessed on-demand from any internet enabled computer or device - any time, from anywhere in the world.
