Mentor Mobility

Intelligent Mobile Applications Accelerate Your Business

Mentor Mobility fleet management software runs on Mentor RangerĀ® rugged in-vehicle computers, Blackberry smart phones and laptops. From workflow automation and tracking driver behavior to collecting vehicle telematics and more, the Mentor Mobility Platform optimizes your fleet management processes. Deployed in thousands of vehicles in the field service, EMS, auto club, paratransit and fixed-route transit sectors, Mentor Mobility can be tailored to any fleet environment. 



With this new system we've been able to increase our productivity and minimize our spending. Without it we'd be paying more for the same number of trips.

Workflow Automation

Logon times, job completion details, and more are automatically captured to streamline workflow and reporting, eliminating paperwork and multiple points of data entry.


Reduced Fuel Costs

Fuel efficiency monitoring lets you address behaviors that consume excess fuel, reducing operating expenses. AVL capabilities allow the closest vehicle to be routed to the job site or pickup destination.


Vehicle Device Integration

Tie into other on-board vehicle systems or devices such as printers, bar code readers, lights, sirens, and OBDII, for added functionality.

Improved Customer Service

Real-time trip planning for on-the-fly schedule changes, as well as advanced navigation capabilities ensure drivers reach their destination quickly.


Reduced Airtime Costs

Mobility's mobile application software architecture minimizes airtime usage. Less airtime translates into significantly lower long term costs.


Fleet Tracking

Collect and transmit vehicle location data. Dispatchers can view the precise, real-time location of all vehicles under their care on a map for more effective fleet management.


The Mobility Platform


Mentor Mobility is based on the Mobility Platform, a set of modules that mirror the needs of fleet organizations. Clients can choose from several modules to select their desired functionality. Mentor's experienced developers tailor the final product for the client, helping them achieve the perfect solution to suit their organization. The Mobility Platform includes:
 

Work-Order Management

With its ability to electronically dispatch all tasks, the Work-Order Management module greatly reduces paperwork. It supports on-the-fly schedule changes, automates data collection, eliminates duplicated data entry and shortens the billing cycle.


Voice Communications

Use Mentor RangerĀ® as a cellular phone that can be configured to allow drivers to call pre-approved numbers only, such as customers, supervisors or dispatch.


Payroll Data Collection

The logon/logoff module manages time-tracking and automates the payroll process.


Point-of-Sale

Financial transactions can be processed in the vehicle. Cash, credit or debit cards are all accepted. Ranger's touch screen functions as a signature-capture device


RFID Readers

Mobility supports a wide range of RFID applications for automatic data collection, asset management, passenger tracking and more.


Safety Check and Pre-trip Inspection

Collect real-time data on vehicle maintenance issues. Driver logon is automatically denied if certain issues are reported.


Vehicle Telematics and Engine Diagnostics

Manage everything from emergency switches to OBDII engine diagnostics. Improve fleet efficiency by monitoring unwanted driver behaviors such as speeding and idling.


On-Board Device Management

Monitor and manage devices such as printers, bar code readers, lifts, lights, sirens, signs, doors, and more.

Multi-Language Support

Drivers can select English, French or Spanish language options in the vehicle at logon, without affecting the dispatch office application.


Driver Safety

To encourage safety while the vehicle is in motion, this module restricts the Ranger features that a driver can access. For example, function keys can be disabled until a driver has reached his/her destination.


Inventory Management

Automatically track on-board vehicle inventory and notify the back office when supplies need to be replenished.


Geofences

Dispatchers are automatically alerted when a vehicle leaves a predefined area, minimizing vehicle misuse. This module can also send a notification to the back office system when a vehicle arrives at a job site or pickup location.


Navigation

The navigation module features auto-routing to the next job, automated ETAs, and turn-by-turn voice prompts. With Navigation in the vehicle, drivers reach the next job site quickly, reducing fuel and downtime costs.


Vehicle Tracking

The vehicle tracking module collects and transmits vehicle location data. Dispatchers view the precise, real-time location of all vehicles under their care on a map.


Two-Way Messaging

Two-way messaging allows for real-time communication between drivers and dispatch. Messages can be structured in predefined, easy-to-answer formats, or a free-form messaging option can be enabled.
