ACE Hardware Selects Eaton Fleet Advisor
CLEMMONS, N.C., Aug. 17, 2000--Eaton Corporation's Trucking Information Services ( www.fleetadvisor.com )
announced today that ACE Hardware Corporation has purchased Fleet Advisor(R).
"Implementation of the Fleet Advisor System is right in line with Ace Hardware's Vision 21 process and fundamentals being communicated
throughout our organization today," explains Michael Lyons, Corporate Fleet Operations Manager. "Our short and long term objectives in
transportation remain focused upon improving our delivery process and communications in support of our retailers. With the partnership of
Fleet Advisor, this will offer our company the most advanced technology in measuring real-time data. Ultimately, this will lead to reaching our
overall goals."
Fleet Advisor is a transportation logistics and fleet management system that uses full-function on-board computing, global positioning
technology, and mobile communications to facilitate real-time data collection from mobile fleet assets. Among Fleet Advisor's many powerful
features are electronic DOT logs and IFTA reporting. The system integrates with back-office information systems and supports third-party
application use through a system API.
New product enhancements--InfoTach(R) and Tracking Advisor(R) GIS software--provide digital tach-o-graph recording and schedule
exception handling, which support planning and route execution, and can improve safety. The product's precise collection and immediate
processing of information eliminates time-consuming paperwork and removes barriers to the flow of information that exist with traditional fleet
management systems.
ACE Hardware Corporation is a cooperative that is wholly owned by its 5,100 independent hardware, home center, lumber and building
materials retailers in 62 countries worldwide. More information about Ace Hardware can be found on the World Wide Web at
