BSM Technologies Inc, (GPS: TSX-V) (http://www.bsmtechnologies.com) a leading provider of GPS-based AVL secure vehicle and trailer fleet tracking and management solutions, today announced that LTL and FL carrier Precision Truck Lines of Woodbridge Ontario is in the midst of a fleet-wide implementation of BSM's Patent Pending SentinelTM trailer tethering management and tracking solution.
With ongoing development and commercialization of AVL and secure fleet management solutions for the transportation industry, BSM has now introduced an innovative solution to improve trailer and chassis tracking. This recent patent pending product feature, as announced July 13, 2006, provides fleet owners and their dispatchers with real time data on activities and location of their trailers whether powered up, tethered or untethered to their own tractors or to those of other operators. When tethered to a tractor power unit, the trailer solution provides complete vehicle tracking with real time locating, speed, idling, stopping and other data for fleet owner ROI's.
Recommended by another BSM Long Haul user, Precision Truck Lines recognized the significance of BSM's SentinelTM solution to track their trailers anywhere in North America. From a security aspect, the solution reports when a trailer is powered up as well as when tethered at any time, day or night. In addition, BSM has added an "asset utilization threshold" report that presents real time data on asset utilization and under-utilization of rolling assets.
"To compliment their existing solution, Precision Truck Lines required a solution to report to management, dispatcher or other staff, the exact location and situation of each trailer whether in their yard, on the road throughout North America or at a customer drop-off site. BSM provides a robust trailer tracking solution that captures and efficiently reports on the status and location of all of their mobile assets. Based on industry contacts, the BSM trailer solution is creating a great deal of excitement and opportunity to the needs of the transport industry for trailers." says Michael Bookbinder, Director Sales at BSM Wireless.
Bookbinder, continued "On a 24/7 basis, management and dispatch receive trailer data via the internet to their dispatch terminal, as an email, to a PDA, cell phone or monitoring centre. All adding to a sound return on investment for fleet managers and owners. The solution also contributes to enhanced movement security for their assets."
"Precision Truck Lines selected BSM Wireless for their ability to provide fast and accurate data reporting on our trailers when stationary for loading and unloading, on the road or entering or exiting our customer sites and yards. We are now able to monitor whether a trailer is tethered, untethered and while tethered to a tractor, have the knowledge whether it is on delivery at the designated location." said Vishnu Ramdeen, CEO and President of Precision Truck Lines.
Mr. Ramdeen continued, "with the BSM trailer solution, once a trailer is tethered, we are able to identify all data on the full rig having knowledge of speed, direction, idle time, every hour or at any moment for efficient dispatching and improved customer service by updating the accurate position of the rig at any time."
