Waste Disposal Trucking Firm Selects SmartFleet® GPS Vehicle Tracking
Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) April 14, 2008 -- Connecticut waste removal and demolition firm AMEC Carting has selected Safefreight's GPS vehicle tracking (http://www.safefreight.com/) system to provide them with real-time fleet management data for their trucks.
"SmartFleet® provides us with the tools to better serve our customers and reduce fleet costs," said AMEC president, Guy Mazzola. "We looked at a number of vendors but we chose Safefreight because of their user-friendly internet application and their commitment to customer service," said Mazzola.
With SmartFleet®, AMEC users can easily create real-time exception-based alerts to optimize customer service and fleet productivity. Beyond knowing where their trucks are, when they got there and how long they stayed, SmartFleet® also provides AMEC important information about keeping those vehicles properly maintained and on the road. The SmartFleet® GPS fleet management (http://www.safefreight.com/fleet-management-products/) system provides a service that delivers information to increase AMEC's overall productivity and profitability.
According to a 2007 report by the Aberdeen Group, businesses are "... using fleet management solutions to realize such benefits as 12.2% increase in service profitability, 13.0% improvement in vehicle utilization, and 14.8% decrease in travel time, and 27.9% increase in operator compliance." The report also concludes that businesses justified the investment in fleet management solutions as a result of average annual savings of $1,100 per vehicle in operational costs alone.
With the recent addition of new features to SmartFleet® Manager -- Safefreight's online fleet management software (http://www.safefreight.com/fleet-management-products/fleet-management-software/) -- AMEC users can:
? Optimize routes and send turn-by-turn directions to drivers in real-time
? Quickly identify closest vehicle to a location and dispatch that vehicle for more efficient deployment of fleet assets
? Visualize SmartFleet® data in Google Earth
"We appreciate the opportunity to help AMEC enhance their level of customer service through telematic fleet management," said Curtis Serna, CEO of Safefreight. "AMEC is a service oriented company and they expect the same high standard from their suppliers. We look forward to meeting that standard," added Serna.

As GPS technology gets better and better and smaller and smaller it will be able to be used for many things? For instance at the World Series a baseball hit into the third level will be able to be recorded by GPS as to exactly how far it was hit and it's trajectory to formulate where it would have actually landed had the stadium been flat. Thus we will be able to tell who was the greatest homerun power house of all times, perhaps even who is on steroids based on their body mass, speed of pitch, GPS data and 'haptics' (body movement and form).
