Wireless Matrix Releases FleetOutlook 7.0 for Mobile Fleet Tracking

November 16, 2011 By: Janice Partyka


FleetOutlook 7.0, a mobile fleet application, has been introduced by Wireless Matrix. The product includes Mobile Supervisor, a mobile application for the iPhone and iPad, and FleetOutlook Express, a fleet tracking solution for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). FleetOutlook 7.0 enhancements offer users a more scalable solution delivering critical fleet information for increased visibility and productivity of mobile workforces, the compamy said. The introduction of Mobile Supervisor and FleetOutlook Express further support the need for real-time, on-the-go collaboration.

Mobile Supervisor. A mobile application designed for the iPhone and iPad, Mobile Supervisor allows clients to maintain the key functions of FleetOutlook and the management of their fleets, while catering to the ever-increasing mobile aspects of daily operations.

To develop a mobile application that provided the most benefits to its customers, Wireless Matrix conducted a survey of more than 400 customers and found that just over 75 percent of respondents would regularly use a mobile application if it allowed tracking, vehicle history, nearest vehicle locator, and communication with the fleet.

As a result of these survey responses, Wireless Matrix designed Mobile Supervisor to provide the following features on a mobile device: real-time GPS tracking, vehicle status (idle, moving or stopped), color-coded fleets, and the ability to quickly see where drivers are and where they have been, plus the option to search for a vehicle nearest to another vehicle, address, or location. With Mobile Supervisor’s similar interface to FleetOutlook, there is no need for special training. The application is currently available, free of charge, to FleetOutlook customers through the Apple App Store or iTunes.

FleetOutlook Express. The introduction of FleetOutlook Express offers SMBs, with fleets typically fewer than 40, the ability to take advantage of an enterprise-level GPS offering that starts at a price of $15.99 per vehicle. FleetOutlook Express offers GPS fleet tracking, vehicle history, the ability to search for a vehicle nearest to another vehicle, address or location, and a drag-and-drop administrator tab and power take-off (PTO) for equipment like bucket trucks and tow trucks. Additionally, customers are able to upgrade their features and functionality as their business grows through Wireless Matrix’s Silver, Gold, and Platinum package offerings.
