GARDEN GROVE, Calif.,
Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Teletrac® Inc., an award-winning GPS
fleet tracking and telematics software provider for over 22,000
companies worldwide, announced it is partnering with Samsung
Electronics America Inc. (OTC: SSNLF) to expand its fleet
management offerings to the Android platform on Samsung's Galaxy
Tab devices.
Earlier this year, Teletrac chose Samsung's Galaxy Tab and the
Android operating system to host its Drive app, a comprehensive
suite of applications for commercial vehicle operators. The app
suite is now available on the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab. Teletrac
Drive for Android allows users to access multiple app-based
functions, such as two-way messaging, GPS navigation and compliance
tools. The app's optional compliance feature includes electronic
driver vehicle inspection reports and Department of Transportation
(DOT)-mandated electronic driver logs (driver e-logs) that meet
hours of service regulations.
"Android has become the de facto standard when it comes to apps
development…the tablet was a critical component to delivering our
vision of the next generation logistics management platform," said
Sid Nair, Director of Product
Management, Teletrac.
Customers using the Samsung Galaxy Tab have embraced the new
user experience that Teletrac Drive offers. Teletrac predicts more
than 30% of its customer base will be migrating to the Galaxy
tablet by 2015. One Teletrac customer who has adopted the new
Samsung and Teletrac integration, logistics firm A.N. Webber, noted
it takes them less time to download driver e-logs, access crucial
reports and receive updates on delivery routes and locations. "The
trucking business is highly competitive, and we are always looking
for ways to improve driver productivity and satisfaction," said
Rob Koch, Vice President of
Operations, A.N. Webber.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab has proven to be a successful component to
Teletrac's strategy of creating a faster and more reliable fleet
management offering to its customers.
"Teletrac Drive in combination with the Galaxy Tab provides
logistics firms with a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and
communications," said Jennifer
Langan, director of mobility solutions at Samsung's
Enterprise Business Division.
Samsung routinely selects businesses for its customer profiles
that show unique use cases of its products. This month, Samsung
chose Teletrac for an innovation case study highlighting the
successful integration of the Drive app with Galaxy tablets. The
case study illustrates how Teletrac has built a more robust,
flexible GPS fleet tracking logistics platform for its customers
and their drivers on an Android platform.
