For-Hire Fleets

As the pioneer of commercial fleet telematics, Qualcomm is well aware of the main concerns facing trucking companies today: government regulation, fuel costs, driver shortages and turnover, increased competition, and shrinking margins. To meet these challenges, we deliver technology for you to effectively help you manage your fleet and make more informed decisions. Berg Insight ranks Qualcomm as the largest provider of fleet management solutions in the Americas, with an estimated total active installed base of 350,000 units in the region.

To help you manage driver productivity and profitability without sacrificing driver safety and satisfaction, you can rely on our solution for for-hire fleets. We've designed our suite of applications to help for-hire fleets better manage workflow, driver hours, vehicle maintenance, inspection reports, and CSA compliance. At Qualcomm, we understand your need to increase profits and streamline operations. Qualcomm has been leading the way in the telematics industry for more than 20 years. With our "one-stop-shop" approach, we provide you with affordable tools to help you keep costs down and profits up.

Our applications work together with each other and with your existing back-off systems to deliver cost effective solutions to help you improve the productivity and efficiency of your fleet. With our applications, you can:

• Access the information you need to help you manage compliance and safety, monitor driver hours, and create EOBR logs and vehicle inspection reports.
• Track fuel consumption and vehicle and driver performance.
• Access GPS mapping for improved asset visibility.
• Take advantage of the in-depth analysis developed by FleetRisk Advisors, a Qualcomm business unit, to help you identify drivers, vehicles, and schedules that are most likely to result in an accident.
• Implement proactive driver remediation programs that help prevent accidents.

You don't need an IT department. Qualcomm offers you Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions – software that is deployed over the Internet or behind a firewall on a local area network. All you need to get started is an Internet connection and a web browser. (QHOS is a hosted application.) Our technical and professional services teams can help with assessment, integration, custom development and programming, training, business intelligence, and predictive modeling.

As a pioneer in our industry, we work with fleets small and large and all in between. We make sure our experience and expertise are within reach of all trucking companies and we'll help you address your fleet management challenges quickly and cost effectively with the best solution through our applications and platforms.

Before installing Qualcomm's Hours of Service application, Cargo Transporters® was faced with many cumbersome challenges, including inaccurate driver logs, non-compliance issues, and inefficient processes. With QHOS, they were able to save more than $100,000 and decrease non-compliance citations by more than 45%. According to Cargo Transporters’ President Dennis Dellinger:

We’re seeing great numbers that prove this implementation was successful. In January 2009, our first month of total QHOS implementation, internal audits found 596 total over-hour violations. Eight months later, the number of similar audit findings had dropped to 145. That’s a 75% decrease. The improvement is staggering.

The best return on your investment is being able to meet the many challenges facing your fleet today and still operate at a profit. Our cutting-edge management tools can help you efficiently manage workloads, fuel costs, and compliance while also helping you to increase driver safety and satisfaction, revenue per mile, freight per unit, and on-time visibility.
