Wireless Matrix Pay Television Customer Upgrades FleetOutlook Deployment
Herndon, VA – Wireless Matrix Corporation announced recently that an enterprise customer in the pay television space has elected to upgrade its FleetOutlook® service to leverage advanced features of the award-winning product.
Located in the US south, the customer has already realized benefits from its use of FleetOutlook vehicle tracking. The customer will deploy FleetOutlook 6.2 to leverage features of the Platinum edition, including TechDirect® GPS and work order integration. TechDirect provides visibility into driver work order progress and driver location on a single screen, allowing for more efficient and intuitive management of driver activities throughout the day.
The customer is also purchasing 700 Wireless Matrix Reporter 26 GPS devices and associated Garmin® connection cables for deployment in its fleet. This will position the customer to utilize FleetOutlook's innovative TechConnect™ service. TechConnect allows dispatchers and drivers to exchange messages between FleetOutlook and an in-cab Garmin personal navigation device. This platform allows service addresses to be pushed to the driver for turn-by-turn directions, and empowers the driver to provide real-time status to dispatchers from the road.
The first of two orders for 350 units under the agreement has already been received by Wireless Matrix. Installation is scheduled to begin May 1, with full deployment expected to be completed in June. Ultimately, the orders include 500 units to refresh already-deployed vehicle hardware and 200 units for new subscription vehicles.
"This kind of organic growth can only be realized when a customer receives tangible benefits from the solution, and wants to realize even greater value from it," said J. Richard Carlson, president and CEO of Wireless Matrix. "A service upgrade of this magnitude is a testament to the faith customers place in the product as they deploy and utilize the superior features of FleetOutlook."
