IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq:
CAMP), a global technology solutions pioneer transforming the
mobile connected economy, today announced powerful customer-focused
upgrades to its public sector fleet intelligence platform available
through its subsidiary, Synovia Solutions.
The Synovia Solutions mobile application is now able to perform
two essential functions previously available only on the
cab-mounted tablet, including clocking in and out for the time and
attendance feature as well as trip inspection that now includes
COVID-19 hygiene verification and driver wellness.
These two app upgrades resulted from customers' recent requests
to provide greater flexibility for fleet operators working remotely
due to COVID-19 combined with Synovia's long-term commitment to
remain at the vanguard of mobile application excellence.
"We began this critical work well before COVID-19 but recently
accelerated development activity on these innovations to provide
our customers greater flexibility as they strive to protect
employees amid the ongoing pandemic," said Jeff Clark, senior vice president, product
management, CalAmp. "These upgrades add important value to our
mobile app, making it an essential gateway between fleet managers
and their employees operating in the field."
Synovia Solutions serves more than 1,000 fleet customers across
North America and boasts an
impressive portfolio of mobile applications including the
award-winning school bus tracking app, Here Comes The Bus. Launched
in 2015 to a handful of schools, Here Comes The Bus has more than 2
million registered users and is trusted by more than 300 school
districts with a 4.6 star rating on the Apple App Store.
The Synovia Solutions mobile app has more than 25,000 monthly
users and boasts a 4.7 star rating on the Apple App Store.
Synovia's Time and Attendance feature allows fleet operators to
check in and out of work remotely, removing the need for drivers to
use a centralized system in an office or garage setting. It's
compatible with all the most popular human resources payroll
solutions and is used by more than 30,000 drivers today.
The trip inspection module provides a digital interface to
conduct pre- and post-trip vehicle checks, which are legally
mandated in many states for many public sector vehicles.
The trip inspection module also has a built-in driver wellness
check that allows employees to validate that they are not
experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, thus allowing fleet managers to
track fleet-wide health of personnel even when drivers are not
reporting directly to a central office. The module also includes a
vehicle hygiene verification function in addition to its regular
slate of inspections like lights, signals and other roadworthy
indicators. Managers will be able to track vehicle hygiene
activities and generate detailed reports that show sanitation
efforts across their entire fleet for internal and external
compliance purposes.
Both features reduce paperwork and streamline fleet operations,
saving school districts and independent fleet operators time and
money.
"Fleet managers and government fleet executives have long
trusted the Synovia app to manage their fleet operations when
they're away from the desktop interface," Clark said. "With these
new innovations, the app is a fleetwide value-add that will allow
drivers to accomplish mission critical tasks without entering a
physical building. We're excited to support our customers with this
capability extension."
