GPSTrackIt Releases iPhone App For Vehicle Fleet Management

A new application from the Apple App Store promises to bring the GPSTrackIt’s tracking software to the fleet manager in the field.

The new app enables fleet managers to view their vehicle tracking information on their iPhones.

"A user can see their history and set up alerts to better monitor their fleet," said Eddie Bermudez, GPSTrackIt’s Product Manager.

The new app provides access to features of the Fleet Manager system, a staple of the fleet vehicle management industry. A mobile user can display vehicle trails and event history (Ignition, vehicle starts/stops, etc.). Alerts can be created for a wide variety of applications, including speeding and idling, two of the biggest contributors to excessive fuel consumption. Drivers can be sent directions to further help reduce fuel waste, and the iPhone app enables fleet managers to set up and schedule maintenance items like oil changes, tune ups, and tire rotations. The system’s maintenance alerts are sent to designated users via email or SMS text messages.

The new iPhone app is available for free to users of GPSTrackIt’s Fleet Manager vehicle tracking system. Current subscribers include small service businesses, government agencies, and construction companies.
