AirIQ and Maddocks Systems have teamed up to integrate AirIQ's location-based information services with Maddocks' enterprise-wide fleet management software.

Fleet managers using Maddocks TruckMate for Windows (TM4Win) software will now be able to use AirIQ's services on the same desktop, at the same time, from the same screen.
Using telematics, or the wireless transmission of location-based information and control messages to and from vehicles, AirIQ helps its clients locate and manage their vehicle fleets. AirIQ's services include vehicle location, boundary notification, reefer fault alerts and automated inventory reports. By integrating AirIQ's platform with Maddocks software, managers and dispatchers using TM4Win will have seamless access to virtually real-time information on their vehicle fleets. For instance, should a vehicle stray from a particular region, a pop-up window would notify the dispatcher at his or her workstation.
Additionally, dispatchers using TM4Win will have seamless access to AirIQ's dispatching services, providing them with two-way message communication and job tasking to the driver's standard mobile phone. This will enable trucking firms to quickly relay changes and other information directly to drivers without requiring voice communication.
Integration of the two companies' solutions will make it easier for customers running Maddocks software to use AirIQ services and minimize the need for further operator training.
