TrackYourTruck.com Incorporates Nettech Systems’ Mobile Middleware into its Palm Computing-based RoadRunner Solution for Delivery-based Businesses
PRINCETON, N.J. — January 18, 2000 — Nettech Systems, Inc., the leading provider of mobile middleware, today announced that TrackYourTruck.com has signed an agreement to OEM Nettech's mobile middleware. The partnership will enable the delivery of Web-based dispatch information to Palm Computing(R) Organizers in TrackYourTruck.com's Roadrunner mobile data solution, which is marketed to product delivery businesses.
RoadRunner is a complete hardware/software truck dispatch package that uses Nettech middleware to communicate with the TrackYourTruck.com Web site, a service that allows complete dispatch capability from an Internet connection. Using this service, customers can automatically track the progress of their deliveries using Cemtek's proprietary Intelli-Status Algorithm.
"Nettech's strong industry reputation in wireless middleware and willingness to work with TrackYourTruck.com was instrumental in our selecting its mobile middleware solution to provide the communications link between our Web-based data and Palm IIIs," said Robert Hall, president of TrackYourTruck.com. "We were very pleased to see Nettech expand its wide support of operating systems, networks and devices to include the Palm Computing platform."
By using the Palm IIIx organizer RoadRunner offers a high-quality display and signature-capture capability that allows for "paperless ticketing," which saves customers the expense of multi-copy ticketing and billing. Its convenient status options and messaging features allow customers to create their own messages without costly programming and custom software. The system uses Airlink Pinpoint radio modems to communicate over Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) networks.
"TrackYourTruck.com has a highly innovative solution for delivery-based businesses that incorporates a plethora of advanced features and platforms for optimized route management and dispatch capabilities," said Tony Esposito, vice president of sales for Nettech.
"We are proud to enable crucial Web-to- Palm device communications in the RoadRunner solution."
The Roadrunner mobile data solution is scheduled to be generally available in March 2000.
