CarCheckup has announced the release of its new Fleet Management System. According to the company, the system uses on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) technology to monitor and analyze information that enables fleet managers to reduce fuel costs, proactively maintain vehicles and increase productivity.
“CarCheckup empowers fleet managers by giving them information to optimize their fleet and improve the bottom line,” says Jennifer Funkhouser, CarCheckup CEO and co-founder. “Many fleet systems relying on GPS are expensive and provide inaccurate data. CarCheckup uses data directly from a vehicle’s engine control unit — providing unparalleled data analysis and reports for fleet managers to increase profits.”
CarCheckup’s system allows personnel to export telemetry information stored in the vehicle’s computer system by recording data and syncing it to a computer — which the company says creates a customized and recurring executive reports of everything from idle time to highest speeds and all metrics in between. CarCheckup says this allows fleet managers to set company driving goals and improve driving habits including reducing idle time and aggressive driving.
Using patented technology, CarCheckup has no buttons, dials or switches and connects easily to a vehicle’s diagnostic port to gather data as someone is driving. Then the CarCheckup device can be plugged into a computer to easily upload the data using the built-in USB drive, the company says. The data is then stored at CarCheckup.com. Fleet and driver reports are available through the website 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
