TMW Systems, which provides enterprise management software for the trucking industry, has released its newest mobile communication product offering - OnRoute. Available April 2, OnRoute is the first
application to launch on the Qualcomm Mobility Services for Transportation platform running on Sprint's Nextel National Network, delivering a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy driver communications solution designed for the needs of the trucking industry.
Based on TMW's proven D2Link mobile communications solution, OnRoute combines the innovative dispatch-centered functionality of D2Link with Qualcomm's superior data security and message management capabilities. Available by subscription on a range of Nextel handsets and combined with Sprint data and voice services in monthly billing, OnRoute is the freight industry's most flexible, integrated and cost-effective mobile phone-based communications solution.
OnRoute transforms GPS-enabled wireless phones running Java into convenient driver communications devices for affordable and efficient trip communications, vehicle location tracking and load assignments integrated with company operations. All dispatch to driver communications - ranging from up-to-date pick-up/delivery schedules, customer information, and even road conditions and accident alerts - are triggered right from the dispatcher's workstation. Driver trip status updates and information requests can be processed automatically through OnRoute dispatch integration to keep order data and truck locations current for the dispatcher at all times and reduce time-consuming and more costly voice calls.
