NAVMAN WIRELESS DEBUTS CANNED MESSAGING WITH ITS EXISTING MOBILE DATA TERMINAL PLATFORM

Fleet Management Leader’s Easy-To-Use Messaging Tool Delivers Increased Efficiency

Glenview, Ill., – Navman Wireless North America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navman Wireless Holdings, and a leading global provider of vehicle tracking and fleet management solutions, announced today the addition of canned message functionality to its next generation vehicle tracking and logistics software, OnlineAVL2. Allowing fleet managers to create a library of comprehensive standard messages that make sense for their businesses, canned messages eliminate the need for full keyboard typing, and provide team members a quick and easy means to deliver efficient and clear messages with only a few key selections. The new feature is an added enhancement to Navman Wireless’ powerful real-time vehicle position, integrated maintenance modules and advanced software that provides state mileage reporting, automated email reporting, monitoring alerts and high-resolution satellite imagery capabilities. Alleviating time-consuming message preparation that can be difficult for personnel to manage while on the road or during service, the canned messaging functionality demonstrates Navman Wireless’ continued focus on providing resourceful fleet management solutions to address customers’ needs, improve safety and increase efficiency resulting in saved resources.
Navman Wireless’ fleet manager-selected canned messages provide a seamless response template for accurate disclosure. The OnlineAVL2 canned message component allows managers to create a collection of up to 100 custom messages that are relevant to their fleet or business. Messages are wirelessly programmed onto the M-Nav integrated messaging and navigation device, and Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) for drivers to use. Offering the ability to communicate important details in a timely manner to respond more proactively to situations, canned messages provide time-stamped documentation that manager’s can later access in reports by driver or fleet.
 “Navman Wireless’ new canned messaging feature is a testament to our continued investment in making the OnlineAVL2 platform the most complete and customizable solution on the market,” said Renaat Ver Eecke, vice president – Navman Wireless North America. “Navman Wireless is exciting to deliver increased functionality to fleet managers and proud to offer added features to current OnlineAVL2 customers at no additional cost.”
The Navman Wireless’ complete fleet management solution, including OnlineAVL2, is priced from a dollar per day. The new OnlineAVL2 canned messaging functionality is currently available in new product purchases and accessible immediately to current Navman Wireless customers at no charge as a free upgrade request or during the next scheduled automatic software update.
