Peregrine Systems, San Diego, announced the immediate availability of its Transportation 5.0 suite,
which provides organizations with a one-stop, integrated solution for maintenance and management of transportation assets.

This suite comprises Peregrine's industry-leading Fleet Management, Rail Management and Equipment Management products.
Transportation 5.0 increases productivity and mitigates business risks by enabling organizations to control operational expenses through cost avoidance and cost reduction, according to the company. Cost reduction is achieved by streamlining processes such as work orders, fuel transactions, inventory management and more. As a result, customers benefit from improved parts and inventory order processing, warranty claims recovery and asset disposition. Peregrine's new application suite also helps companies manage their maintenance schedules more efficiently, thus eliminating unnecessary maintenance procedures.
Transportation 5.0's full life-cycle asset and maintenance management capabilities manage transportation equipment, as well as manufacturing and support equipment used in transportation operations.
Other new features include equipment planning and enhanced lease management capabilities. In addition, Transportation 5.0's procurement function allows organizations to reduce and control expenses by ensuring that purchases are adequately processed and authorized.
Built on a common architecture, Transportation 5.0 can be deployed independently for a single asset type or can be used to manage multiple assets. It can be accessed via LAN, Internet, intranet or through an application service provider (ASP).
