Telogis Navigation GE has global maps and provides directions and information to drivers to help them make more informed, safe and efficient decisions. Current users of Telogis Navigation make up a network of nearly 150,000 profes- sional commercial drivers who use the feedback function within the application to update information on road conditions, tips and exceptions. Telogis Navigation is integrated with Telogis' mobile enterprise management platform that includes Telogis WorkPlan for hours-of-service compliance and Telogis Sites for a 360-degree suite of applications for customizable navigation and last-mile instructions. Companies can control companywide navigation settings within the Telogis Fleet telematics application for toll road preference, U-turn avoidance and alerting. Drivers and back-office teams also are able to add road edits and detours to Telogis Naviga- tion based on company preferences and driver feedback. Telogis Navigation is designed for a wide range of industries from local service providers to over-the-road Class 8 trucking companies and offers onboard map data for navigation when a vehicle is out of cellular or satellite range. – Aaron Huff EBE releases vehicle maintenance software E BE Technologies, a provider of en- terprise automated decision support applications for the transportation and logistics industry, launched its Ships Ve- hicle Maintenance Solution, an integrated suite designed for carriers to manage all aspects of their internal or outsourced maintenance operations to make sure trucks, trailers and other equipment are being serviced in the most cost-effective, efficient and timely manner. Through the application, personnel can manage parts warranty information, asset deprecation, DVIR citations and personnel certifications to ensure that staff are making the right decisions and avoiding unneces- sary equipment downtime. VMS can be configured for carriers that use their own repair shops or outsource their repairs. VMS incorporates EBE's other workflow applications for purchase order process- ing, price sourcing, roadside inspection monitoring and dispatch. As a Web-based application, information can be shared among team members in real time. "This application links data points between the drivers, dispatch, mobile communi- cations and accounting systems," said Larry Kerr, EBE president. – Aaron Huff EBE also offers 'manage by exception' work- flow methodology, mobile workforce and integration capabilities.
