Fleet management and in-cab document solutions provider iGlobal announced completed integration with McLeod Software, manufacturer of LoadMaster Enterprise Dispatch Software.
The two systems now work together seamlessly via iGlobal’s Symphony Mobile Communications Interface, says Eric Bauer, president of iGlobal.
According the Bauer, McLeod customers using the iGlobal fleet management system will now be able to get automated position updates, two-way text messaging with canned and customizable forms, real-time electronic driver log status updates as well as automatic arrival and departure updates.
McLeod DocumentPower Enterprise users will also have instantaneous access to critical billing and payroll documents scanned through iGlobal’s in-cab scanning system.
Bauer says the system designed to be transparent and easy to use by both drivers and dispatchers by giving customers the ability to communicate critical information regarding dispatch assignments to drivers in a timely manner.
“Our Beta testing has shown that the integration provides customers information in near-real time,” Bauer adds. “This allows them to better manage progress of current loads, estimated times of arrival, as well as route taken and driver detention issues. Additionally, current driver hours of service data and resulting availability to improve driver load assignments while maximizing driver utilization. All while reducing late deliveries.”
