XATA Corp. is seeing significant demand for its XATANET Web-based fleet management system only a month after announcing its 2.0 release.

Twelve companies have agreed to purchase and/or pilot the new system, including new customers Abernaqui and International Cold Storage. XATANET is an open and scalable Web solution that provides trucking operations with an easy-to-use interface to gain complete visibility and control over their mobile assets -- drivers, vehicles and trailers -- while working to enhance their fleet's productivity and customer service.The power of XATANET is further enhanced through low-cost satellite communication that provides anytime, anywhere, mobile access.
"We're excited to see so much interest in XATANET as we've put considerable time and effort into making it the best possible fleet solution," said Craig Fawcett, XATA president and CEO.
"XATA has developed a system that easily tailors to our business and operational needs," said Paul Marston Jr., chief executive officer at Abernaqui. "XATANET delivers enterprise solutions through the Web so our users only need a PC with a standard Internet browser. This enables us to get the system up and running quickly while providing us faster and more simplified ways to manage our fleet."
XATANET supports a comprehensive suite of fleet management capabilities via the Web, including streamlined fuel tax reporting, DOT driver logs, vehicle location tracking, route mapping, vehicle diagnostics and alerts, two-way driver messaging, accident analysis and a detailed operational profile report.
The newest release of XATANET also supports dynamic enterprise environments through a highly flexible and simplified Web interface. A new XATANET Portal and on-line notifications have also been added to empower users with new ways to leverage their operational data in real-time.
XATA is offering introductory pricing for new orders of its XATANET products for delivery in the first quarter of 2003.
