SkyGuard and SpeedGauge Partner to Provide Fleet Owners with Actionable Vehicle Speed and Location Data

Flowood, MS, June 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- SkyGuard, a provider of fleet management systems, and SpeedGauge, a provider of software and services for real-time analysis and utilization of commercial vehicle GPS data, have reached an agreement to offer SpeedGauge services to SkyGuard’s commercial fleet customers. SkyGuard provides the customer’s vehicle location and speed information collected via GPS to SpeedGauge whose web-based application analyzes those data points in real time. This integrated service will enable customers to identify and act on a broader range of high-risk driving behavior, thus lowering fleet operating risks that result from excessive speeding.

Since 2005, the SkyGuard system has captured vehicle speed and location information, allowing customers to set a desired threshold for notification, but until now they have not been able to easily tell if their drivers were exceeding the posted speed limit. The agreement with SpeedGauge will allow SkyGuard to provide that bit of crucial information. "We at SkyGuard are excited about the opportunity to work with SpeedGauge and pleased to add this enhancement to our product line,” remarked Gary Wilfert, SkyGuard’s Chief Operations Officer. “SpeedGauge's data analysis service will provide our customers with extremely valuable information about their fleet's daily activities that can be used to lower costs as well as increase productivity, safety and customer satisfaction."

SpeedGauge's patented driver-behavior analytics service in use daily by diverse commercial fleets in the United States, Canada, the UK and the Republic of Ireland. ”Speeding is a leading cause of vehicle accidents and we are pleased that our service can make a difference, not just on Interstates but also on rural highways and other surface streets where so many accidents occur”, said Jonathan Hubbard, President of SpeedGauge, Inc. “We look forward to being part of SkyGuard's continued innovation.”
