The FMS Difference

Delivering a Total Solution

FMS develops, sells and supports a complete end-to-end mobile resource management solution including the satellite air time. This enables FMS to make the best product architectural decisions and provide the most effective vehicle tracking system possible, delivering quick returns on investment. GPS tracking devices are combined with intelligent on-vehicle processors that send data back to the hosted web application via satellite data communications. Using satellites to transmit data rather than terrestrial systems such as GSM or GPRS insures your urgent information will be communicated reliably and promptly.

Data is communicated to a secure FMS managed database where FMS Fleet Central interprets and formats the information according to your business needs. FMS has constructed a completely scalable system that grows as client requirements expand and fleets grow. This enables FMS to effectively service an ever growing customer base with timely reporting and real-time tracking, alerts and messaging.

Architectural Decisions Favor Performance

FMS clients operating in rugged environments keep their drivers safe.

Because FMS delivers all components of the solution, application code is implemented to optimize the use of processing power and performance tradeoffs. For example, FMS developed code running in the vehicle tracking device performs far more than just GPS location calculations. Urgent fleet operations information related to boundary or landmark checking, excessive speeding, harsh driving, and event alerts are interpreted and provided back to Fleet Central.

Eliminating the need to frequently scan the database for events enables the application to operate consistently regardless of the size of the fleet or volume of information to be processed.

FMS System Benefits

Scalable performance accommodating future fleet growth
Alerts detected as they occur in the vehicle
