"SmartDrive helps my site managers stay on top of driver safety without taking a lot of their time," said Jamie Orlando, Vice President of Logistics at Angelica Corporation. "With the new Response Center, it is easy to see events that don't comply with our trained safety policies, queue them for coaching and resolve them with our drivers. The end result is a reduction in cost and a safer fleet. "

New functionality of the SmartDrive Response Center includes:

• Powerful filters to easily pinpoint important events
• Integrated maps to identify problem regions quickly
• Improved coaching process for effective coaching of drivers in minutes
• Site health and coaching compliance reports to ensure program success
  

"SmartDrive continues to offer new functionality that makes my job even easier," said Ray Shulman, Compliance/Safety Officer at Young Transportation. "SmartDrive has paid for itself many times over by improving the overall safety of our fleet and exonerating our drivers when they are involved in situations where they are not at fault."

"The new Response Center is just the beginning," stated Greg Drew, CEO of SmartDrive Systems. "We continue to innovate at a rapid pace to ensure that our customers have the visibility and control they need to build safer, more efficient fleets."

Existing customers of the SmartDrive Measured Safety Program have already been upgraded automatically to the new SmartDrive Response Center at no additional charge, and with no additional software to install or maintain. For more information, visit www.smartdrive.net.
