Xata Partners With ZoomSafer to Help Fleets Strengthen Their Ability to Manage Driver Safety and Compliance
May 03 2011 - 3:41PM
Xata Corporation (Nasdaq:XATA), the leader in trucking compliance
and fleet optimization software, today announced it is integrating
and reselling ZoomSafer's award-winning software, FleetSafer Mobile
and FleetSafer Vision, both of which can be customized to a fleet's
specific mobile phone policies.
FleetSafer Mobile enforces a fleet's safe-driving policies and
runs alongside Xata Turnpike on mobile and smartphones. Xata
Turnpike currently runs on consumer-grade and ruggedized mobile
phones without driver interaction when the vehicle is in motion.
With FleetSafer Mobile, no other native or third-party
applications, such as texting, can be used on the device when the
vehicle is in motion.
Xata's clients will also benefit from FleetSafer Vision, a
software reporting tool that leverages telematics data in
conjunction with phone records and email services to measure and
report to fleet managers the information they need to identify
at-risk drivers.
"Distracted driving doesn't need to be a growing problem," said
Christian Schenk, vice president, product marketing, Xata. "Xata
commits to doing all we can to keep drivers safe and in compliance,
which is why we're excited to be partnering with ZoomSafer."
FMCSA reports show that "driver distraction is a primary
contributing factor in 25–30 percent of crashes." The FMSCA report
FMCSA-RRR-09-042 further indicates that "most transportation
researchers believe the actual percentage of distraction-related
crashes may be higher than 25–30 percent."
"With the addition of FleetSafer, Xata customers of any size can
proactively enforce safe driving policies, which, in turn, will
enable the fleets to reduce the number of crashes and save money,"
said Matt Howard, founder and CEO, ZoomSafer.
By giving fleet managers the option of monitoring driver
behavior and prohibiting drivers from making calls, texting or
emailing while driving, Xata and ZoomSafer are leading the way in
making our nation's roads safer. "Even if our partnership saves
just one life, we can be proud of the important role we are playing
in fleet safety," said Schenk.
