Trimble Enhances FieldMaster Logs With Tap & Go Technology To Improve Driver Experience With ELD's

Trimble announced recently, that it has enhanced its Trimble FieldMaster Logs solution with Tap & Go technology. The new update addresses a major concern fleet and field service organizations face, around driver login, with existing Electronic Logging Devices (ELD’s). ELD’s are mandated for compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) hours of service (HOS) regulations and driver vehicle inspection requirements.

The driver login procedure for many ELD’s on the market today is time consuming and error prone. With Tap and Go technology, drivers will be able to log in to their in-cab tablet with just a tap of a keychain, sticker or ID card, making it easy and quick to start their ELD workflow.

“When the ELD mandate came into effect, the priority was on ensuring compliance, but now the emphasis for ELD systems is on simplifying the process, improving driver workflows and making the driver adoption process as easy as possible,” said John Cameron, general manager of Trimble Field Service Management (FSM). “Our Tap and Go technology ensures drivers no longer need to spend valuable time manually typing in lengthy usernames and passwords which can cause frustration. With a simple tap, they are into the system and can focus on getting their work done.”

The Tap and Go technology is based on Near Field Communication (NFC) and comes in the form of a low cost compatible card or sticker that can be readily purchasedfrom a wide variety of approved sources. There are a wide range of options for drivers including; existing NFC employee ID cards, keychains, badge cards or dime-sized stickers, which can be attached to a wallet or driver’s license. There is no system set up required to enable Tap and Go. Drivers can initialize Tap and Go themselves and start using it immediately.

Trimble FieldMaster Logs solution with Tap and Go technology will be available Aug 23rd.
