inthinc Technology Solutions Inc., a global telematics company
centered on fleet management and driver safety solutions, today
announced that Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS), the leader in
specialized business to business services, has selected inthinc
tiwiPro™ to support the company's fleet safety initiative. Cintas
will deploy tiwiPro across its Uniform Rental Division to monitor
vehicles' fuel usage, view GPS-based trip details, and help ensure
its drivers' safety via in-cab verbal alerts for speeding, seatbelt
use and other aggressive driving behavior.
"Our company is based on timely deliveries and quality customer
service," said Dan Braun, Senior Vice President of Value
Improvement Initiatives - Operations at Cintas. "After careful
scrutiny and a successful trial, we look forward to seeing
firsthand how inthinc's technology will not only further ensure the
safety of our employee-partners on the road, but reduce costs and
increase our overall operational efficiency," he added.
With tiwiPro, Cintas will have real-time insight into fleet
activity and performance through the inthinc Portal. Using
integrated GPS tracking and telematics capabilities, fleet managers
will be able to see, for example, where each vehicle is located,
where drivers stopped, the duration of their stop, and how long it
takes each driver to get from one location to another throughout
the entire route. This allows Cintas to respond quickly to any
emergencies and communicate any potential delays to customer sites
in a timely manner. The portal will also show any safety alerts
during the route such as speeding, hard braking or other risky
driving behavior.
"Cintas is a well-known brand with a reputation for
professionalism and high-quality service," said Pete Allen, Senior
Vice President, Global Sales at inthinc. "We are proud to support
their driver safety initiative and work with them to increase fuel
efficiency and contribute to further reducing fleet operational
costs."
