Telogis says its "next generation" of fleet management software allows fleet managers to integrate planning and operational data, field variables (weather, traffic) and location-based intelligence to make informed business decisions. It's said to integrate seamlessly with Telogis Route and Telogis Mobile to provide a comprehensive telematics platform. The company says its system is suitable for fleets of all sizes.

Telogis Fleet 8 now imports real-time traffic data to allow fleet managers and dispatchers to re-assign jobs if they notice a major traffic jam or incident that prevents a crew from getting to their next job on time. 

Real-time weather monitoring assists in both routing and planning, while 'streetside/birds-eye view' lets managers see the actual location and surroundings of vehicles.

The IFTA/IRP data feed helps companies that have vehicles traveling through multiple states manage compliance based on GPS data and determine the best place to register each vehicle.

Fleet 8 also allows users to view the current and historical status of multiple vehicles in a single window. It easily tracks potential drags on productivity and cost, such as speeding.

'What Happened Here?' is a new tool that simplifies the process of researching incidents at specific locations/times quickly. It helps expedite investigations into purported violations or incidents involving company vehicles.
