Remote Operations

Risks related to rugged and remote operations are being addressed by FMS for fleets operating in Africa, the Middle East and extreme northern latitudes of Canada and Alaska. Transportation companies find that Iridium satellite tracking offered by FMS insures that driver communication is maintained with reliable and near real-time performance regardless of location. For sub contracting situations, satellite monitoring in remote regions can insure that the primary provider is billed for vehicle operations.

Efficient Asset Utilization

Monitoring the locations and status of vehicles also provides important insight as to the readiness of vehicles to be reloaded or sent to another job. FMS has created a special function that attaches key load, driver and asset data to each truck and trailer combination. Specialized hardware developed for the trailer side is linked in Fleet Central to the load and head of the truck to insure complete tracking and to know when a load has been disconnected, especially if that is prior to delivery.

Competitive Advantage

FMS capabilities in the Logistics industry are proven to provide competitive advantage for organizations that operate in remote and rugged regions of the world. Equipping vehicles with all satellite GPS tracking is important for meeting the tight location requirements of the US military and provides a higher sense of security for commercial clients.
