NAVTEQ has been selected by WebTech Wireless to supply NAVTEQ Transport truck attributes for Quadrant, WebTech Wireless' fleet management system. Quadrant provides users with GPS-based location information in real-time for efficient fleet management. Powered by NAVTEQ map data, Quadrant enables fleet managers and dispatchers to access detailed fleet operational data, both real-time and historical.

Offered on a scaleable platform that allows for a wide range of future enhancements, Quadrant provides a real-time map interface for reporting and messaging activities that result in lower administration costs while increasing productivity.

Fleet managers are able to connect their fleet to back-office applications providing instant access to data that can reduce unnecessary paperwork.

With the inclusion of NAVTEQ Transport, fleet managers can also route trucks away from low-clearance areas and streets in which trucks cannot maneuver, helping to reduce incidents and minimize out-of-route miles. NAVTEQ Transport provides road attributes that directly affect truck routing such as legal restrictions, physical restrictions and preferred truck routes.

"WebTech Wireless needs a mapping solution that provides detailed and up-to-date coverage with key information such as truck routing attributes," said Cameron Fraser, CTO and co-founder, WebTech Wireless. "We will continue to work with top industry suppliers such as NAVTEQ to help us remain a leader in the vehicle tracking industry."

"NAVTEQ's selection as the map of choice for WebTech Wireless highlights the value of accurate map data and industry-specific datasets," said Roy Kolstad, vice president and general manager - Enterprise Americas, NAVTEQ. "We look forward to supporting WebTech Wireless as they continue to bring innovative fleet solutions to their customers."
