EDMONTON, AB – Connecticut waste removal and demolition firm AMEC Carting has selected Safefreight’s GPS vehicle tracking system to provide them with real-time fleet management data for their trucks.

“SmartFleet provides us with the tools to better serve our customers and reduce fleet costs,” said AMEC President Guy Mazzola. “We looked at a number of vendors, but we chose Safefreight because of their user-friendly internet application and their commitment to customer service.”

With SmartFleet, AMEC users can create real-time, exception-based alerts to optimize customer service and fleet productivity. Beyond knowing where their trucks are, when they got there, and how long they stayed, SmartFleet also provides AMEC important information about keeping those vehicles properly maintained and on the road.

With the recent addition of new features to SmartFleet Manager — Safefreight’s online fleet management software— AMEC users can:

·Optimize routes and send turn-by-turn directions to drivers in real-time.

·Quickly identify closest vehicle to a location and dispatch that vehicle for more efficient deployment of fleet assets.

·Visualize SmartFleet data in Google Earth.
