With professional-grade GPS navigation and integrated web-based fleet management, CoPilot Live / CoPilot Truck and FleetCenter work differently from other GPS Navigation and tracking applications. Running entirely on a mobile device, there is no need for additional hardware like a dedicated Personal Navigation Device (PND), or fixed in-vehicle black boxes.
While simple to set up and integrate with existing company systems, CoPilot Live / CoPilot Truck and FleetCenter make no compromise in performance. Leading companies in the Retail, Utilities and Services sector are already relying on CoPilot Live to keep their mobile employees in touch and on the move.
FleetCenter is a web-based extension of CoPilot Live and CoPilot Truck GPS navigation solutions that provides real-time location tracking for fleet manager and customers, job dispatch, instant messaging and historical reporting.
To implement live tracking, each mobile worker requires a mobile-internet enabled device running CoPilot Live Professional or CoPilot Truck GPS navigation and login details for the FleetCenter web site.
There is no need for custom installation, additional hardware or vehicle-specific in-cab telematics. It's simple, cost effective, takes minutes to set up and can easily be moved between vehicles.
FleetCenter is a low cost monthly subscription service that requires mobile workers to be equipped with CoPilot GPS Navigations software solutions on a mobile Internet-enabled device.
Simply enter the account settings into CoPilot then log-on to FleetCenter. Each mobile device will be displayed on the FleetCenter map.
Mapped view of all vehicle locations, their next scheduled stop and Estimated Time of Arrival
Safe digital communication between driver and dispatcher with messages sent directly to screen on a driver's mobile device. Up to four predefined answers allows the driver a quick and concise response with a minimum amount of distraction.
FleetCenter makes it possible to manage a driver's itinerary remotely allowing businesses to deploy and re-deploy mobile workers efficiently. New addresses can be sent over the air and added to the beginning, the end or even replace the driver's scheduled itinerary.
Automatic notifications are flagged in FleetCenter if predefined driver parameters are breached - such as Excess Speed, Late Starts or entering or leaving a specific geographic area.
FleetCenter maintains a historic report of all trips conducted by the mobile workforce for up to one calendar year.
Keeping the customer informed of when a delivery will happen is simple with FleetCenter. A URL can be sent to a customer's email address and with one click they can view the current driver location and ETA of their delivery.
A connected Smartphone, PDA or Laptop is now an essential tool for a range of mobile workers including field service engineers, public sector workers and delivery drivers.
CoPilot GPS navigation software solutions extends the functionality of these devices, while removing the need for another costly overhead - the dedicated Personal Navigation Device.
Developed for fleets over 28 years by ALK, the CoPilot family of software solutions provides dedicated GPS navigation system performance on a wide range of mobile devices, worldwide. CoPilot's commercial-grade route optimization calculates multi-stop itineraries in seconds.
ALK's GPS navigation philosophy is to provide concise, dependable driving directions with minimum distraction. CoPilot software solutions reflect this with its 'Driver Safety' mode as a default setting. A 2D or 3D map is only displayed close to a turn, auto-zooming on the approach before returning to a non-distracting simplified view of the next instruction.
Unlike dedicated navigation systems, CoPilot takes advantage of the Mobile Internet to combine navigation with real-time services including traffic alerts and location tracking. Businesses can view the progress of their entire mobile team, communicate with them and send new jobs using the FleetCenter web site.
Keeping a mobile workforce out in the field improves customer satisfaction and maximizes field worker productivity.
Large fleets or businesses wanting to integrate CoPilot into a wider mobility solution can choose one of the CoPilot family of GPS navigation solutions.
Additional features include:
Optimization of up to 50 address stops in an itinerary.
A comprehensive Software Developer Kit (SDK) enables CoPilot Live Professional or CoPilot Truck to be integrated with existing company systems both on the device and at the back end utilizing the existing company infrastructure.
