LAS VEGAS, Oct. 4, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELMG) introduced today, at the 2004 American Trucking Association's Management Conference and Exhibition, a new tracking and management software system, eNcompass TMS.
The eNcompass TMS system enables fleet operators to efficiently manage their rolling assets. It provides maximum flexibility by allowing users to choose the mobile communications link best suited to their operations, and integrating all information into a single operating environment.
The system, which can be integrated into existing dispatch systems, provides vehicle tracking, mapping, and free-form messaging. Users can also obtain engine performance reports, including real-time exception notifications, and do standardized form-based messaging.
eNcompass TMS customers will be able to access their fleet's logistical information through one simple application, with options of using a range of mobile wireless communication networks.
"This software package now serves as the final component for EMS to be able to offer a complete solution to our transportation customers," said Neil Mackay, senior vice president and general manager of EMS Technologies' SATCOM Division. "We are very happy with the options that this package offers to users as they look to manage their fleets more efficiently and maximize complete fleet operations."
