The San Diego Business Journal compiles a list of rapidly growing companies annually and ranks them according to revenue growth over a two year period. In 2009, FieldLogix made the 100 Fastest Growing list due to a 60% increase in revenues from 2007 to 2008.  Now in 2010, FieldLogix is being recognized again for its strong revenue growth.

FieldLogix was one of the first to offer the FMI integration between GPS fleet tracking and Garmin driver navigation systems. According to a FieldLogix press release in April, FieldLogix’s Fleet Management Interface (FMI) decision to integrate telematics fleet tracking with Garmin International’s (Nasdaq:GRMN) turn-by-turn in-vehicle navigation has yielded an 830% increase in FieldLogix +NAV YTD Sales from 2009 to 2010. FieldLogix provides GPS fleet tracking systems to companies across the U.S.

FieldLogix has continued to grow dramatically and has real-time GPS devices installed in thousands of vehicles nationwide. Despite increased competition and a challenging economy, FieldLogix has successfully differentiated itself by its industry leading product offerings and customer support. Not only has the Company increased its revenues, but it has also successfully continued to improve its GPS fleet management system. The fleet GPS vehicle tracking device is a Green product that can help fleet managers to reduce both costs and vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.

Today, approximately 3.6 million GPS/wireless devices are used to monitor fleet vehicles, trailers, construction equipment and mobile workers in the United States. According to a study by C.J. Driscoll & Associates. by 2012, the fleet GPS and wireless telematics device market is predicted to expand to over 6.5 million units, and Mobile Resource Management (MRM) hardware and service revenues will grow to over $2.5 billion. Continuing market growth will be fueled by a number of factors including declining hardware costs, reliable wireless data communication networks with broad coverage, and increasing awareness of the strong return on investment provided by MRM solutions.

Mr. Palmer’s speech will reiterate that in light of today’s environmental issues and corporate responsibility expectations, the concept of Green Fleet Management should be important to all fleet managers, whether you have a fleet of one or one thousand. Developing and managing a green fleet requires a thorough knowledge of available products, technologies, and an in-depth cost-benefit analysis, plus much more.

The Green Fleet Management Conference Panel Discussions will cover the following topics:

• What are the most useful tools to manage vehicle fleets?
• Do fuel-smart driving practices and driver training have a significant impact on fleet emissions reductions?
• Is managing a green fleet an important selling point and a valuable improvement to a company’s brand image? Are green fleet vehicles an effective marketing tool?
• How does managing a green fleet effect the bottom line? Are the current green fleet options cost-effective and sustainable? What kind of ROIs can companies expect to see from upgrading to a green fleet? Will fuel savings outweigh upgrade costs?
• What were the important lessons learned from the Green Fleet Conferences held this year in Frankfurt and Paris?
• What are the benefits and limitations of alternative fleet options – biofuel, electric, hybrid, natural gas?
• What are the costs and challenges associated with the infrastructure requirements for fueling and/or vehicle charging stations?
• Is it more cost-effective and environmentally responsible to convert traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles or should you replace them?
• What types of energy management systems would need to be put in place to manage the electricity required for an active electric fleet? Would this be disruptive or beneficial to the grid?
• What is the current status on Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology? At this time, should its prospects be factored into green fleet management decisions?
• What financial, tax, and manufacturer incentives are available?
• In addition to tax rebates, are there other financial incentives in place (free/reduced parking/tolls, manufacturer incentives, more?) for driving a green vehicle?
• Does a green fleet have a tangible effect on the well being of the company and greater community?

San Diego, CA – May 5, 2008 – Nothing is more troubling than finding out that you have been losing money for years and didn’t even know it. This is exactly what happened to Carlos Contreras at Sunshine Landscape in Palm Desert , CA . Carlos’ team of 15 employees have been using paper timesheets for years to document their work hours for payroll reporting. In his words, these paper timesheets were based on an “honor system”. The employees would document their work hours and would turn the timesheets in at the end of the week. He always suspected that some things didn’t quite add up with the hours they documented and what actually took place in the field. Carlos then decided that GPS tracking would help him address these concerns and give him more control over what took place in the field. After researching 5 different GPS fleet tracking systems, he selected FieldLogix due to its user-friendly interface, affordable hardware, and extensive e-mail alert features.

Upon installing FieldLogix, Carlos’ suspicions were immediately confirmed. By using the system’s activity reports, he found that his “honor system” was being abused by his employees. By having an accurate way to measure daily work hours, his overtime costs dropped immediately. In fact, his overtime costs dropped by more than 2 hours per man per day with no change in the workload. Based on his calculations, he paid for the entire first year of the system within the first 18 days. Carlos stated: “It dropped my labor costs by 35-45 percent.” Carlos mentioned that he wished that he bought a GPS system years ago, but put it off because it wasn’t a high priority at the time. Carlos is not alone in his discovery. A study by the Aberdeen Group reports that companies that have implemented a GPS tracking system see a 13.4 percent average reduction in overtime costs.

FieldLogix is an advanced, yet affordable GPS fleet management product that provides real-time location updates for vehicles and construction equipment. It automatically monitors activities such as excessive engine idling, speeding, and personal use of company vehicles. It has been described as “GPS on auto-pilot”, because users can create operating policies in the system and they receive e-mail alerts when operators do not comply with these policies. This includes alerts for afterhours use, excessive speeding, and deviations from a specified operating schedule. In addition, it provides real-time location updates for vehicles and equipment and sends maintenance reminder alerts when they are due for service.

Now is a better time than ever to implement a GPS fleet management system. It helps companies cut waste and run a “tighter ship” when operating costs are high. The improvements in operations will benefit companies even more significantly when the economic environment returns to normal.
