Cheetah Software Systems and Turnpike Global Technologies announced a partnership to offer an integrated and unique logistics intelligence solution to transportation companies.
The solution injects real-time vehicle performance data into a truly dynamic, intelligent and predictive LTL and delivery software solution.

Cheetah integrates Turnpike's RouteTracker, an electronic on-board recorder that collects and reports on vehicle statistics and automates regulatory compliance information (such as IFTA, IRP and HOS), to provide:
• Completed routes can be analyzed for aggressive driving practices that affect safety, regulatory compliance and efficiency
• Future routes can be planned based on individual and driver performance as well as regional variables that impact idle times (such as weather-related vehicle heating and cooling needs)
• Benchmarks can be established for vehicle efficiency, route variables and driver characteristics and used to verify performance improvements

The combined solution leverages low-cost Java-enabled cell phones and Windows Mobile devices to provide applications that not only optimize routing, dispatch and customer service, but that also automate regulatory compliance processes. Together, Cheetah and Turnpike provide the best logistics planning, visibility, and events management, increasing productivity, reducing operating costs and greenhouse emissions, and improving safety and compliance.
