TransCore's GlobalWave in-cab satellite-based mobile communications and asset tracking system is now compatible with McLeod Software.

The integration also allows GlobalWave satellite trailer tracking customers to view their equipment positions from within McLeod Software's LoadMaster enterprise management software.
David Sward, TransCore's GlobalWave general manager, said, "Customers need their information and communications systems to work together to enhance customer service and improve efficiency."
Rick Halbrooks, vice president of sales and marketing for McLeod Software, said, “Combining the two applications will enable our customers to better track and manage their vehicle fleets and obtain vital fleet information, which improves asset utilization, increases ROI and maximizes efficiency."
GlobalWave uses GPS and satellite communication technology, combined with a simple and accessible Web-based interface, requiring no software downloads, that allows carriers to locate trucks and communicate with drivers from anywhere the Internet can be accessed.
The 100 percent satellite based, easy-to-use in-cab messaging unit has pre-programmed response messages for the driver and is ruggedly built to withstand the demanding in-cab environment. Operational data capture or fleet management, the newest enhancement, keeps track of vehicle use and performance, including engine rpms, idle time, odometer readings, speed and engine temperature.
