Innovative Computing Corp. — a provider of enterprise-level software and services solutions to the truckload motor carrier industry — today, May 9, announced plans to release its latest product offering. IES Mobile is a mobile phone-based driver management and productivity application for truckload carriers designed to offer direct integration with Innovative Enterprise Software (IES), IES Access Plus and IES Access and is powered by the Qualcomm Mobility Services for Transportation platform, available from Sprint on the Nextel National Network.

IES Mobile, scheduled for commercial availability in the fall, provides Innovative Computing customers with an affordable, feature-packed and easily-deployed driver communications solution that extends the benefits of Innovative software solutions, the company says. IES Mobile was designed from the ground up for truckload carriers and leverages the wireless data management and security capabilities of Qualcomm using the Qualcomm Mobility Services for Transportation platform.

Supported by multiple mobile phones that operate on the Nextel National Network, IES Mobile is designed to offer a convenient and cost-effective mobile communications option that will enable dispatchers and drivers to significantly boost their productivity and efficiency. IES Mobile can be used to complement existing advanced mobile communications systems in unequipped segments of a fleet, or as a basic mobile communications solution for an entire fleet, Innovative says.

Features of the IES Mobile solution, according to the company, include:

“We’re excited to announce the IES Mobile solution at this year’s Innovative Conference & Exhibition,” says Ernie Betancourt, president of Brentwood, Tenn.-based Innovative. “This new mobile communications offering provides a compelling option for Innovative customers to fill out nonequipped portions of their fleets, or to adopt a well-integrated, affordable and reliable solution for the first time. Additionally, our collaboration with Qualcomm and Sprint on this solution has helped us to ensure that we can deliver the reliability and ease of use that are hallmarks of the Innovative philosophy.”

The IES Mobile solution is being demonstrated this week at the Innovative Conference & Exhibition in Nashville, Tenn. For demonstrations and more information, visit Qualcomm at booth 21 in the ICE 2007 exhibit hall.
