Trapeze DriverMate Puts Mobile Computing Within ReachAffordable portable solution makes use of smartphone devices to bring the benefits of mobile computing to smaller demand response operations SCOTTSDALE, AZ, FEBRUARY 10, 2009 – Helping to bring the benefits of mobile computing to smaller demand response operations, Trapeze Group today introduced a new affordable handheld solution called Trapeze DriverMate. Flexible and agile, Trapeze DriverMate makes use of smartphone handheld devices to connect vehicles, the dispatch center and the ‘back office’ in real time. Typical mobile computing applications require mobile data computers to be hard mounted on the vehicle. For some demand response operations, this can be cost prohibitive. Trapeze DriverMate is different – the solution provides the same core functionality found in traditional mobile data computing applications but in a portable system enabling the operator to take the solution from vehicle to vehicle as the operations dictate. Rapid deployment of the solution helps provide a smooth transition and quick time-to-value. Demand response organizations that have not previously been able to afford a fixed mounted solution can now take advantage of the many benefits of mobile computing DriverMate provides. Trapeze DriverMate can help dispatchers stay informed as to the location of drivers and passenger trips for better safety, dispatch management, and on-time performance. As an alternative to typical mobile computing solutions, DriverMate has all the same core functionality available on a full-featured hard mounted solution but on a device that is a faction of the cost to buy, train on and maintain. The portability of the solution means that even agencies with existing mobile computing systems can take advantage of a fast, easy and affordable way to keep additional vehicles connected to dispatch. “Trapeze DriverMate makes mobile computing more accessible to all demand response operations,” said Rick Bacchus, President, Trapeze Group. “Designed to be flexible, simple and portable, this turn-key solution helps agencies who are looking to control costs, improve productivity and provide better service to their passengers.” Upcoming Webinar About Trapeze Group -30- Media Contact |
