GE Capital Fleet Services launched a management tool that allows fleet managers and drivers to order vehicles and track orders via the web, tablets, and mobile devices.


The tool is the first in a series of new technology services that GE is creating to help fleet managers proactively analyze and manage their fleet operations.

GE's new ordering tool offers a streamlined process for vehicle order management. It saves drivers time by enabling them to order securely via the web and through tablets and mobile devices. Orders through GE's new tool can be completed in five steps and order status can be tracked throughout the vehicle delivery process.

In developing the tool, GE sought input from more than 200 customers representing large and small fleets in a variety of industries.

Additional features include:

* Side-by-side color vehicle photos and spec comparisons to simplify the ordering process;
* Customizable up-fit options where applicable;
* Guided help that can be turned on or off;
* Running tally that manages and tracks driver-paid vehicle options;
* Customer-defined credit card options that securely process payments;
* Customer-specific order invitation messages that define steps and requirements;
* Communications to drivers about optional or required forms necessary for ordering;
* Automated email notices that are generated at key ordering process milestones.

More tools in the series will be introduced over the next 18 months.
