Reynolds and Reynolds' Networkcar(R) Signs Fleet Reseller Agreement with MAXIMUS
SAN DIEGO, April 6 -- Networkcar(R), a Reynolds and Reynolds company , announced today that MAXIMUS , a global leader in the development of fleet management software solutions, will be a reseller of Networkcar's fleet product.
MAXIMUS serves nearly 500 fleet organizations and manages approximately four million vehicles with its various fleet management solutions. MAXIMUS will offer Networkcar's in-vehicle location and performance monitoring system to their current customers as an option to help them eliminate manual processes, streamline maintenance and improve driver efficiency.
Networkcar's in-vehicle system collects and organizes detailed automotive information directly from a vehicle's engine computer and location-based information from a global positioning system (GPS) device. Information is transmitted wirelessly to an information center where it is made available to fleet managers in the form of immediate e-mail alerts, summary e-mail reports or easy-to-read Web pages. Networkcar's technology is compatible with virtually all cars and light trucks manufactured since 1996 and heavy trucks manufactured since 1988.
"We are very excited about our relationship with Networkcar," stated Gregg Jacobs, vice president of sales and marketing for MAXIMUS' Asset Solutions Division. "Our customers will realize a significant value-add from the integration between any of our FleetFocus solutions and Networkcar's fleet management technology that will enable them to improve the manner in which they manage their fleets, down to the minute."
Customers who purchase Networkcar's system also receive secure access to Networkcar's online fleet management application where they can review their fleet's location-based information and operating statistics, such as speed and detailed diagnostics.
"Networkcar is the only fleet management technology available today that has a true connection to the vehicle's real-time operating condition with easy access via the Web," said Networkcar President Dave Dutch. "Networkcar's easy installation and ability to work across all manufacturer brands are also big benefits. Networkcar can accommodate fleets with cars and light trucks, or heavy vehicles with our J1708 system. We are confident that the integrated offering with MAXIMUS will help fleet operators significantly improve preventive maintenance schedules, decrease manual data entry and increase vehicle uptime."
