Portable w Messaging
'This feature was developed due to the demand for a one piece 'plug and play' version of our in-cab communication feature, which carriers require during times of high cargo volume or when extra capacity is required at short notice' stated Mark Whitney, Product Development Manager at Blue Tree Systems. 'Job management, turn-by- turn navigation and two-way communication with leased vehicles can now be conducted in exactly the same manner as it is with regular drivers/vehicles. Fleets keep the Portable system on hand for precisely these situations, ensuring that the addition of a last minute owner-operator or leased vehicle occurs seamlessly. Thanks to the R:COM In-Cab Portable device, adding drivers and vehicles at short notice is no longer a major communication and operational nightmare.'
The ruggedized screen has been designed for use in tough operating environments, and provides Blue Tree's comprehensive feature set which includes Blue Tree's industry leading hours of service program, user-friendly driver messaging with predefined quick messages and custom data entry form messages, text to speech, satellite navigation and job management features. Fleet operators can send job details to the driver with navigation coordinates to simplify the driver's day, with truck specific routing (avoidance of routes with physical restrictions such as weight, height and length) guiding drivers directly to their destination with the touch of a button. Estimated arrival time is reported live to the office, while customer specific screens can be added to include Vehicle Inspection or Incident reports. The customer can also design and upload custom data entry forms allowing them to personalize the Blue Tree solution based on their specific requirements.
