TeleNav, Inc. today announced that Powerline Freight Systems,
Inc., a nationwide long haul carrier, has enhanced customer interaction and
overall efficiency of its fleet through the use of TeleNav Track™, a market leading GPS
navigation and tracking service.
In operation since 1990, Powerline Freight Systems is located in Chandler,
Ind., within 500 miles of 150 million people. This central location
provides daily access to half of the nation's population and over 60
percent of the United States' manufacturing plants.
The company prides itself on looking for new ways to provide its customers
with relevant and innovative solutions for their transportation needs.
After receiving inquiries about whether its trucks were satellite-equipped,
the company recognized the need to implement a cost-effective solution that
would ensure customer satisfaction.
By deploying TeleNav Track on devices in all of its service trucks,
Powerline Freight Systems experienced immediate benefits. Dispatchers can
now locate shipments at any time and relay how far away the truck is from
its intended destination, whether it is on schedule and the estimated time
of arrival to the customer. The company can also determine the speed that
any truck is traveling, helping to maximize fuel efficiency. Because
TeleNav Track gives management real-time visibility into the trucking
fleet's whereabouts, it has led to further savings for the company in the
form of price reduction and control within its security division.
"Deploying the TeleNav Track service was such an effortless process," said
Jim Powers, President of Powerline Freight Systems. "As trucks came back
from their routes, we were able to implement the system ourselves in under
15 minutes per vehicle. TeleNav Track does everything we needed, offering
all the benefits of other providers at a fraction of the cost. With all the
increases we've seen in efficiency and reliability, the service easily pays
for itself very quickly."
"Businesses with customers across the United States, such as Powerline
Freight Systems, can greatly benefit from technological advancements in
tracking solutions which in turn can be passed on to its customer base,"
said Sal Dhanani, Sr. Director, Marketing and Co-founder of TeleNav. "We
developed TeleNav Track to give companies the ability to manage and exceed
customer expectations while increasing their workforce efficiency."
TeleNav Track enables organizations to optimize mobile workforce operations
through mobile GPS tracking and navigation, wireless timesheets, job
dispatching and wireless forms -- all using GPS-enabled mobile devices.
Currently, more than 8,000 organizations rely on TeleNav Track to help
manage their mobile resources.
Industry analyst firm, Frost & Sullivan, recently recognized TeleNav Track
with its 2008 North American Mobility Award for Best MRM Solution on a
Handheld Device. For a free consultation or to order TeleNav Track,
