PHOENIX, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- XATA Corporation (Nasdaq:
XATA), a leader in fleet optimization software and services, today
announced at the ATA Management Conference & Exhibition that
long-time XATA customer, NAPA Transportation, has signed an
agreement to roll out XATANET to its entire 220-vehicle for-hire
fleet this November and December.
Headquartered in Mechanicsburg,
PA, NAPA Transportation operates from Maine to Georgia and serves America's leading food and
consumer-products companies. By upgrading to XATANET now, NAPA
Transportation gains an important competitive advantage that that
will make it easy for the company to comply with CSA 2010 and
associated regulations.
XATANET, running with a new Digi Corporation X5 onboard
computer, is the next generation of XATA's leading fleet management
software, and is part of the company's $30
million investment in the for-hire market. XATANET now
combines the best MobileMax and XATANET features under the XATANET
umbrella, giving fleets one hardware platform and a range of
advanced functionality, including electronic driver logs, real-time
alerts, exception-based reporting, and driver and vehicle CSA Risk
Scorecards.
"XATANET will improve our ability to deliver on our mission of
providing innovative services that meet and exceed customer
requirements," said Kevin Hite, Vice
President, NAPA Transportation. "And we're looking forward to
implementing XATA's electronic driver logs and maintaining our
regulatory compliance in the face of CSA 2010."
As part of its XATANET implementation, NAPA will be installing
TREQ-L in-cab displays in all its vehicles. These displays feature
full-color touch screens that make it easy for drivers to record
their hours of service and to conduct other cab-based
administrative functions.
"We're pleased that NAPA has made the decision to upgrade its
entire fleet to XATANET," said David
Gagne, executive vice president, field operations, XATA
Corporation. "Doing so will give NAPA a real-time, 360-degree view
of both driver and vehicle data. Most important, XATANET will
provide a crucial competitive advantage that ensures NAPA remains
DOT compliant and well-positioned to gain market share."
