LK Technologies, a provider of geolo-
gistics systems and navigation soft-
ware, announced that ALK Maps and PC
Miler Web Services now are available as
part of J.J. Keller's Encompass with E-Logs
Premium Edition online tool designed for
fleet operators to manage compliance and
performance.
ALK's PC Miler Web Services and ALK
Maps are designed to offer a customizable
cloud-based interactive mapping platform
with visualization of routing and mapping
with precise geocoding.
The Encompass Premium Edition is
designed to collect data from the J.J. Keller
Electronic Logging Device and Keller
Mobile app – which operates on a range
of mobile devices such as iPads, Android
devices or Keller's Compliance tablet – to
provide fleet managers with compliance
and operational intelligence, including
e-logs and tracking fuel use, speed, braking
and GPS location.
The mapping feature powered by ALK
Maps is intended to provide an instant
fleet overview to improve routes, manage
fuel and track units. Fleet managers can
pull up a map and see the location of all
fleet vehicles in real time. The vehicles are
identified with truck icons on the map
with hover-over and pop-up boxes to fa-
cilitate easy access to detailed information
about the vehicle, including unit number,
driver name, speed, address location and
date/time last update received.
Clicking on a specific unit also pro-
vides an option to view the breadcrumb
trail of the driver's route, and the map
component auto-refreshes to show the
last reported location of all vehicles at any
instant. PC Miler Web Services is integrat-
ed to automatically generate trip reports
showing the miles the vehicle has driven in
a particular state, which assists in generat-
ing fuel tax reports.
"When we switched from another
known provider for our mapping plat-
form, ALK ensured a smooth and seamless
transition," said Tom Ditzler, senior product
line manager of technology services for
transport at J.J. Keller. "We are committed
to a long-term relationship with ALK and
have plans to leverage additional products
and modules, providing enhanced func-
tionality to add more value for our mutual
customers." – Aaron Huff
