Telogis expanded its mobile suite of applications with the release of Telogis Navigation 4.5 and WorkPlan 2.0 at Telogis’ annual Latitude business conference. Telogis WorkPlan integrates seamlessly across the Telogis platform to provide customers with the needed functionality they require to more easily manage and engage with their mobile workforces. Telogis also introduces Telogis Vehicle-as-a-Hub and Telogis Coach, two powerful new solutions for the mobile worker that enable significant improvements in safety, vehicle usage and productivity. Using an open hardware environment that supports the most popular mobile devices and mobile operating systems, Telogis delivers the power of its cloud-based location intelligence platform to mobile workers everywhere.

“Telogis understands the inherent need for our customers to have easier ways to have greater visibility into their mobile workforces,” said Mark Wallin, vice president, product management, Telogis. “Whether it’s the most accurate routes with Telogis Navigation, providing simple tools for compliance with Workplan, giving drivers a snapshot of their day with Telogis Coach or increased safety and productivity with Telogis Vehicle-as-a-Hub, our mobile suite of applications has everything an enterprise needs to run its mobile workforce all in one seamless, powerful platform.”

Telogis Navigation 4.5 – Enhanced UI, improved map quality and support for Android devices

The launch of Telogis Navigation 4.5 now supports the Android operating system and features a completely redesigned and greatly enhanced user interface (UI), making Telogis Navigation even easier to use. Navigation 4.5 also features improved map quality including embedded advanced map attributes relevant to commercial fleets. The nearly 110,000 active members of the Telogis Navigation platform will experience social community upgrades and feature enhancements allowing for a closed loop with drivers.

Telogis WorkPlan 2.0 – Work order, safety and compliance management on the go

Telogis also announces Telogis WorkPlan 2.0 for iOS and Android that puts the ability to manage work orders from the field and meet federal mandates for compliance in the workers’ hands. Telogis WorkPlan cuts down on time spent preparing, planning and processing work orders. Mobile workers can also view all of their jobs as points on a map to easily visualize their days and routes, while back office teams can see the real-time location and job status of all of their workers in the field using the Telogis platform. 

WorkPlan also incorporates hours of service (HOS) management features that track driving hours automatically and keep electronic logs compliant with FMCSA mandates. It also includes HOS limit warnings and automatic driver mode change to improve accuracy and let drivers concentrate on the work at hand, and not on updating their statuses.

Workers can also automate and simplify the driver vehicle inspection report (DVIR) process to meet regulations through WorkPlan. With the addition of QR codes, drivers can run WorkPlan on their mobile devices and scan the codes in order to verify inspections have been completed.

Telogis Vehicle-as-a-Hub featuring camera support – Consolidates telematics, wireless communications and in-vehicle cameras into a powerful solution

Latitude guests will also receive a first look at Telogis Vehicle-as-a-Hub (VaaH), a high-performance, enterprise-ready solution designed to consolidate mobile workers’ wireless communications into one device. Telogis VaaH turns customers' vehicles into a connected, mobile hotspot and supports unique peripherals such as in-cab cameras to encourage safe driving and prevent accidents.

Telogis Coach – A snapshot of the day’s events at mobile workers’ fingertips

Telogis will also introduce its Telogis Coach application at Latitude; a new, powerful app that closes the loop with mobile workers by delivering a snapshot of the day’s events to drivers’ mobile devices. Telogis Coach provides a quick look at daily driving records that can be easily accessed and reviewed to help drivers understand what behaviors and practices need improvement, and how the overall quality and safety of their driving habits fit into the goals of the organization.

Telogis Coach includes personalized scorecards, leaderboards to compare against peers, violation listings and training videos to foster improvement. Telogis Coach is available on Android and iOS devices including smartphones and tablets.
