A. ALL Track's fleet management solutions benefit both the organization and its drivers. Some of the benefits drivers will enjoy include: lower job stress due to less time spent completing manual reports (driver reports, maintenance, state mileage, etc.); more effective routing eliminating occurrences of inefficiency; less required overtime so drivers can keep their off days free; reduced customer complaints and billing issues; and increased driver safety due to better maintained vehicles. Most of all, drivers will enjoy increased job security as their company will have reduced fleet-related costs, resulting in a more profitable organization.

Q. How does the ALL Track system work?

A. Our fleet management solutions utilize a comprehensive and scalable data platform that combines GPS, wireless communications and the Internet. Data gathered from vehicle activity is then wirelessly transmitted and translated into an Internet accessible, easy-to-use reporting system. Customers utilize a wide-range of tools, including activity work flow, mapping and event and exception-based reports. These reports and tools are easily analyzed, and by modifying vehicle and driver behavior, managers can decrease costs and improve efficiencies.

Q. Why is ALL Track's event and exception-based reporting such an advantage?

A. ALL Track offers event and exception-based reporting, a distinct advantage over our competition. Event and exception-based reporting allows customers to administer vehicle activity parameters (e.g., length of stops or speeding episodes), filtering report data, so that viewers save time by only viewing the requested information - they don't have to waste time by searching through pages of data. Customers can also change their report parameters at any time.

As a result, ALL Track's information is more detailed, and thereby, more accurate. This difference translates into a more accurate accounting of each vehicle's activities and better data on which to base decisions that create more opportunities to decrease costs and increase efficiencies.
 

Q. How are the reports delivered and accessed?

A. Our reports are easily accessed by using any Internet connection. Simply visit the ALL Track home page (ALL Tracktech.com), and using a secure login and password, the user gains access to his/her organization's reports and live mapping (if this option is selected). Reports can be easily be viewed and downloaded and the live mapping feature allows customers to view their vehicles' activity and locations.
 

Q. Is the ALL Track system complicated?

A. No, the ALL Track system not complicated. Our solutions do not require driver or operator intervention. The data collection process is transparent to the driver and the storage and information transfer is automated via wireless transfer. The only interaction required is in the utilization and interpretation of the reports which are Internet accessible and easy to read. No client software or IT support is required.
 

Q. What equipment is required?

A. Fleet Management solutions require that a small, non-obtrusive device be positioned within the main vehicle cabin, normally under the front dash and out of sight from the driver.
 

Q. Who does the installation? Can these systems be self-installed?

A. Unlike the majority of our competition, ALL Track employs our own installers. To enhance and shorten the installation process, we have also developed a certified, nationwide installation and service network, which also provides installation and maintenance. If a customer chooses to self-install, they may do so after receiving the necessary training.
 

Q. What size of a fleet can the system handle?

A. The ALL Track system is scaleable in size and can accommodate any size fleet. Our reporting parameters allow the user to gather and display information on individual, or groups of vehicles, depending upon the requirements.
 

Q. What happens when the vehicle leaves coverage?

A. The ALL Track system continues to store vehicle activity, even when the vehicle is out of coverage. When the vehicle returns into a coverage area, the stored data is immediately transmitted and translated into our reports, ensuring that the vehicle's activity data is not lost.
