DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FleetMatics, a leading global provider of fleet management solutions for commercial fleet vehicles, announced today that its Google Maps feature will now offer traffic reporting in Ireland. FleetMatics successfully launched Google Maps as an addition to its software in 2009, becoming the only fleet management provider in Ireland to offer Google Maps to small and mid-sized companies.
Google Maps recently implemented traffic updates in Ireland allowing users to quickly access traffic information and travel times. This new traffic functionality provides fleet vehicle owners more control in managing their vehicles with FleetMatics.
“As a leader in fleet management technology, FleetMatics is committed to supporting and growing its global market share. Our customers now have the unique ability to access live traffic information on major roads and highways with our Google Maps feature,” said Peter Mitchell, CTO. “We are confident this new capability will help improve day to day business and help companies realise significant savings.”
Google Maps, with available traffic updates, delivers real-time locations and optimised routing and driving directions. It will be integrated directly with FleetMatics software, which provides complete data on idle/speed times, start/stop times, fuel consumption, and exact routes taken. Fleet owners now have the opportunity to more accurately track their fleet vehicles anytime, anywhere with powerful in-depth traffic reporting.
“Since installing FleetMatics’ GPS system we have experienced many time and money saving benefits,” said Jarlath O Leary, Director at Crane Hire Ltd. “The Google Maps capability has already provided us with the tools we need to improve customer service. With the addition of traffic reports, we can ensure drivers are taking the fastest route available, therefore allowing us to serve our customers even better.”
