Ryder System, Inc., logistics and supply chain management solutions company, has launched a mobile application of its onboard telematics system, RydeSmart 3.0, for the iPhone (News - Alert) and iPad devices.


Thanks to this application, existing RydeSmart customers will be able to track their vehicles and access real-time data on their fleets from their mobile devices at any given time of the day from any location.In a matter of seconds, customers will be able to access detailed maps while checking the movement and status of their fleets.

Officials with Ryder System said that the new RydeSmart application for the iPhone and iPad is free and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store or www.rydesmart.com.

“In this business where fleets are constantly on the move, our customers need the tools to make decisions about rerouting vehicles or responding to emergencies at a moment’s notice,” said John Gleason, senior vice president of fleet management solutions (FMS) sales & marketing for Ryder, in a statement.

Gleason said that with this new app, dispatchers and fleet managers no longer have to be tied to their office computers in order to view the status of their vehicles.

“Now, they can conveniently access real-time fleet data even when they are on the go through their iPhones or iPads,” he said.

According to company officials, the RydeSmart 3.0 mobile application allows the user to pinpoint exactly where a vehicle or group of vehicles is located along with their speed and direction.  The app provides detailed map views as well as key vehicle data, such as breaking events.

Company officials said that RydeSmart 3.0 is a full-featured GPS fleet location, tracking, and vehicle performance management system offered to Ryder’s customers. RydeSmart 3.0 enables customers to improve the performance of their fleets by continuously monitoring vehicles’ location, mileage, speed, and direction, as well as other performance and diagnostic data – such as idle time, fuel consumption, average speed, miles logged, and hard braking events.
