Case Study: Mobile Resource Management Helps Columbia Public Works Satisfy Customers

Columbia officials chose an AT&T mobile resource management solution that gives the city public works department powerful tools to track its mobile assets for improved security, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The solution leverages WebTech Wireless Quadrant from AT&T, a premier GPS-based telematics system that provides real-time information to support efficient fleet management. The solution's mapping, reporting and messaging capabilities boost productivity, decrease costs, protect workers and improve the city's ability to serve its citizens.

The city is proactive in its efforts to sustain the excellent quality of life that Columbia residents enjoy, using hybrid vehicles whenever possible and employing renewable resources like biodiesel fuel that provide clean air benefits. It's also quick to adopt technology that offers the promise of improved service for its citizens and increased safety for residents and workers.

WebTech Wireless Quadrant solution from AT&T gives Columbia the ability to wirelessly track and monitor its vehicles and other mobile assets using the nationwide AT&T mobile network. The system gives Daly and Street Superintendent Sam Thomas a wealth of vital information, including vehicle location and speed, stops and deliveries, diagnostics/maintenance information and safety alerts. The department's drivers benefit from custom mapping and routing information, turn-by-turn directions and two-way communication with dispatchers, as well as safety features such as ignition locks and panic buttons.
