Webfleet Solutions upgrades fleet management platform with Google Services

Webfleet Solutions has upgraded its PRO Driver Terminal, PRO 8475, equipped with advanced technologies, including LTE connectivity and Google Services, a tablet that supports drivers and fleet managers to improve their workflow efficiency.

According to Webfleet, the PRO Driver Terminal better connects drivers and businesses by combining a range of essential features in one device, including order management and two-way communication between drivers and fleet managers, OptiDrive 360, a platform that aims to empower drivers to improve driving performance with visual and audio feedback, and automatic recording of working time and mileage registration, which helps fleets to comply with legislation and policy.

Designed for both in-vehicle and outdoor usage, Webfleet stated that the PRO 8475 is drop-proof, break-resistant, shock-proof, UV-resistant, vibration-proof, dust and water protected, making it suitable for drivers that need to handle the device many times per day in potentially harsh terrain and conditions for long periods of time. 

“With the PRO 8 Driver Terminal, our aim is to offer the perfect companion for drivers,” says Matt Gunzenhaeuser, sales director for U.S. and Canada at Webfleet Solutions. “The updated and improved PRO 8475 is adapted to suit the needs of our customers, helping them leverage smart data and supporting them to reach their goals easily, quickly and efficiently.”
