PCS Software has made upgrades to its Mobile Express driver management and communication system to allow carriers and brokers access to real-time, carrier-asset tracking and management and capabilities via its mobile app.

The latest upgrade to the Mobile Express app allows users to track tractors, trailers and loads live with a map that displays the real-time movement of equipment and loads. Other key advancements to the management system include integrated driver location capabilities and updates to the dispatch management feature, which allows users to track the estimated time remaining on the road.

PCS also improved its dispatch capabilities by enabling dispatchers to monitor operations from a mobile device.

“These enhancements give busy logistics professionals the detailed tracking information they need to effectively manage operations and the freedom to take it on the go,” said Paul Beavers, chief technology officer of PCS Software. “Whether walking the yard or warehouse, working remotely or on the road, carriers and brokerage operations can truly manage assets in real-time.”
