Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA), the expert in fleet operations
optimization, announced today that Florilli Transportation, LLC has
renewed its contract for XATA's MobileMax fleet operations
solution. Florilli will also run a pilot program with XATA's
navigation feature running on XATA's TREQ-L color display. The
Iowa-based company, which specializes in the delivery of
temperature-controlled commodities, uses MobileMax by XATA to help
utilize its 224-truck fleet more efficiently. Florilli maximizes
its fleet efficiency through MobileMax in-cab communications
functions for sending and receiving driver messages, load
information and driver/vehicle data. MobileMax's dual-mode
communication system automatically switches between cellular- and
satellite-based communications networks, depending on truck
location and network availability. MobileMax automatically uses the
least-cost communications mode. "It is crucial that we have the
ability to communicate with our drivers quickly and easily, and
MobileMax provides that ability," said Murry Fitzer, CEO, Florilli
Transportation. "With our fleet dispersed throughout the United
States, hourly tracking information is equally critical, and it
serves as a vital data feed to our monitoring tools and reporting
systems." "We're pleased that Florilli values its ongoing
relationship with XATA," said David Gagne, executive vice
president, XATA Corporation. "Adding functionality to our MobileMax
product , based on our strategy and roadmap, ensures that we
continue to meet our customers' needs." "MobileMax's reporting also
supplies us with valuable engine data that helps us mitigate
excessive idle time, improve our fleet's fuel economy and keep our
fleet properly maintained," added Fitzer. "This type of data helps
drive our overall fleet optimization." About XATA Based in
