INBRIEF ERoad launches Max Speed Alert E Road, a provider of fleet management, elec- tronic tax reporting and electronic logging device compliance solutions, announced Max Speed Alert, a new feature of its fleet management solution designed to support safe driving. "Max Speed Alert provides notifications of ex- cessive speeding so safety and fleet managers can take swi action to protect drivers, the public and their business," said Gail Levario, vice president of strategy and market development for ERoad. "is new capability will enable them to modify driver behavior by encouraging them through coaching to manage speed and stay in compliance with speed limits at all times to reduce collisions and rollovers, as well as unsafe driving violations that impact a company's business." With Max Speed Alert, users of the ERoad solution can set the speed that triggers an alert for different assets. Notifications can be set to allow higher or lower maximum speed limits on different vehicle types. A Max Speed Alert is triggered when a vehicle travels above the pre-determined speed based on a comparison with up-to-date posted speed limits from ERoad's third-party mapping soware provider. ERoad's in-vehicle hardware continuously records, stores and transmits encrypted data, including road speed information, for processing by an application server and for availability to users on the cloud-based platform. In addition to Max Speed Alert notifications, excessive speed events are noted on an Over Speed Dashboard in Driver Insight reports. – Aaron Huff Aljex releases Inbound Document Portal A ljex Soware, a provider of web-based trans- portation management soware for freight brokers, announced the release of its Inbound Document Portal, a web-based application that facilitates the handling of receiving documents. "e IDP makes handling inbound documents faster and easier than ever," said Tom Heine, chief executive officer of Aljex. "You can look at a docu- ment once and be done with it." Via a dedicated email address, inbound documents automatically appear in the IDP, where they are identified by a Pro number that allows all relevant shipment informa- tion to populate the screen, alongside all necessary functionality to perform freight bill auditing. While the document is visible on screen, carrier payments can be processed, customer invoices audited and documents filed away in Aljex's document imaging module, where they are organized and stored in the cloud. "e traditional methods of receiving transportation documentation – email, regu- lar mail, pictures on a smartphone – are time-consuming and inefficient," said Heine. "With tight margins, it's critical that transportation firms increase their efficiency to increase their bottom line." – Aaron Huff Email notifications from ERoad's Max Speed Alert include location, date, vehicle and driver details for each excessive speed event. Inbound Document Portal, a web- based application that facilitates the administration of receiving documents, is a free update to Aljex's document imaging module.
