Eircell to launch Fleet Manager - a Location Based Service from Cyantel
Ireland, 19th September 2001 -- Cyantel, the Irish developer of location based services has announced that Eircell, Ireland's largest mobile operator, will launch its Fleet Manager service on the Irish market. Eircell is the first Irish mobile operator to offer a branded Internet-based fleet tracking and management solution to its business customers.
Eircell Fleet Manager enables businesses to locate and track their vehicles using a combination of satellite, mobile phone and Internet technology. The service is of particular interest to companies with mobile workforces who wish to maximize efficiencies and improve customer service.
No special software is needed, just a PC with an Internet connection. Joining the service is simple and straightforward. The fact that the solution is Internet-based means that you can access the information from multiple locations - a key requirement in many companies that have staff in multiple locations. "You can even set up your customers to have restricted tracking of a vehicle in a similar way that larger delivery companies like DHL and Federal Express provide parcel tracking," according to Cyantel MD Pádraig Murphy.
Commenting on today's announcement, Mr. Jim Collity, Director of Corporate and Business Markets, Eircell said: "At Eircell we are continually striving to maximise value for our customers. Our business customers, including SMEs, will be able to take advantage of advanced vehicle tracking and management functionality".
