One of the leaders in wireless fleet management, Networkfleet, has announced today that they have the business of the Palm Springs Unified School District (USD). The school district in Palm Springs, California has chosen to outfit their 100 vehicles in order to fully utilize their vehicles, decrease costs to the districts, and increase safety for kids and parents.
The district is now using the Networkfleet 4200 GPS fleet tracking system.
Palm Springs USD includes sixteen elementary schools, four middle schools and four high schools. The school district chose the Networkfleet 4200 because they felt that it would be the best tracking system for their needs – combining reliable GPS location tracking with a simple, powerful Web-based management system.
Networkfleet also provides support for their end users. Part of the system is that it streamlines the user interface to provide fast and detailed information on each of the vehicles being tracked.
“We needed to manage our fleet more effectively and reduce operating costs. At the same time, we wanted to improve driver safety and increase our response times. This made better fleet utilization an imperative,” said Jim Novak, Assistant Superintendent Business Services for the Palm Springs USD. “By using Networkfleet to observe routing in real time as well as perform post-route analysis, we can significantly reduce the total miles driven and lower fuel usage. We were also impressed with Networkfleet’s work in the public sector and its intuitive, comprehensive online management system.”
“Networkfleet is rapidly gaining a reputation as the system of choice for government fleets, including the local, county, state and federal level,” said Keith Schneider, president and CEO of Networkfleet, Inc. “Facing strained government budgets, the public sector is recognizing the benefits of Networkfleet and the importance of doing business with a long-standing company that is responsive to their needs.”
Cities and schools everywhere are using bus GPS tracking with greater frequency. It is only a matter of time before another announcement will be made that yet another school or municipality will be employing some sort of tracking system to reduce costs, improve effectiveness, and increase usability.
