New Fleet Management Mobile App from FieldLogix

GreenTransitNews | October 29, 2015

FieldLogix, a fleet management service company that provides technology to cut down on fuel expenses and labor costs has launched a new mobile application, Goose.

The software is designed to streamline dispatching routes.

Here’s how it works: Goose allows dispatchers to optimize their drivers’ routes and remain in direct communication with them throughout the day. It ensures that drivers have optimized routes, job details, and navigation all on their iPhone. Goose simultaneously notifies the company’s clients of the driver’s ETA to ensure they are ready for the driver’s impending arrival via text messaging. Goose even accounts for Google’s real-time traffic speeds in its ETA calculations.

“Goose provides an Uber-like experience for the clients of delivery and service companies.” said FieldLogix’s founder and CEO, Yukon Palmer. “Rather than waiting around for a 4-hour time window, a company’s clients now have more accurate ETA’s for driver arrival times. Plus, drivers will be much more efficient with their time on the road, allowing them to get home to their families in a timely manner. Dispatchers also benefit by properly planning their drivers’ workdays and staying on top of their statuses.”

The application also allows drivers to service more customers, improve routing decisions, reduce fuel expenses, and optimize communication. Dispatchers optimize routes and send to drivers to view status as they complete their day. By the click of a button, drivers can update dispatchers on their status for each stop or send messages to elaborate on details.
