taking fleet management mobile

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO September 1, 2011 – Shaw Tracking, a Shaw Communications Company (TSX: SJR.B and NYSE:SJR), and a leader in communications for the Canadian Transportation industry, announces a partnership with ExpressLane Data. The partnership introduces a new way for fleet managers to send out and receive information.

ExpressLane Data is an advanced system designed to easily view and send messages to fleets via mobile Smartphone and through the web or email. The application allows fleet managers to work off-site and stay connected with their trucks 24 hours a day. This system automatically grabs data from Shaw’s system, analyses it, and returns it to the fleet manager in a simple easily interpreted format and makes it all available on your mobile hand held Smartphone! Now you can find where your trucks are, see their progress, and even send them a message from your phone. Bridging the gap between two technologies is a definite win.

Features include daily trip summaries with stop and start vehicle activity, truck speeds, distance, and hours on the road, providing increasing productivity with real-time route information and data verification with clients. With enhanced searchability based on Shaw Tracking macros, fleet managers and dispatchers can drill down and search by truck, date or any other macro field allowing easy reporting of all messages sent for each load.

"ExpressLane Data makes it amazingly easy to track and communicate with your fleet in real-time on your desktop or mobile device.  The daily stop reports summarize stop/driving segments for our units enabling easy review of what a driver has done for the day and assists in reviewing driver / customer waiting times. We're pleased to partner with a forward thinking company like Shaw Tracking."
Says Joe Heaps, VP Expresslane Data.

“We are excited at Shaw Tracking to introduce this application to our customers as it allows for off-site data management, increased efficiencies and provides clear and organized information 24/7. The ExpressLane Data system is an advanced technology working with satellite and cellular based solutions ensuring assets are always covered. ExpressLane gives the ability to track vehicles and send/receive messages from a simple interface on any handheld device. It synchronizes seamlessly with your existing web Portal account.” Says Mike Ham, Vice-President Shaw Tracking.
