02 December 2009
Cincinnati, Ohio – Psion Teklogix, Inc. (LSE: PON.L), a global provider of mobile computing solutions, today announced that Street Fleet, the premier same day delivery courier service, has upgraded its world-class dispatching system by supplying Psion Teklogix Ikôn rugged mobile computing devices to its drivers in the field. Street Fleet chose the Ikôn to enhance efficiency and improve the tracking of its packages in route.
“In order to provide timely delivery to our customers it was imperative that we use the most advanced technology from dispatch to delivery,” says Street Fleet CEO, Joe McGraw. “Real time data, bar code scanning and signature capture not only place us ahead of our competition, but impress our customers and allow them to have immediate status updates.”
Street Fleet’s customers rely on the company to provide timely delivery of medical devices, lab specimens and other life-saving medical supplies and countless financial documents on a daily basis. With 90 Ikôns in dispatch vehicles in the field, Street Fleet has seen an increase in customer service, delivery and reliability for its thousands of customers in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.
“The Ikôn had all of the qualities that Street Fleet was looking for,” said Mike Jachimiec, Vice President, Channel Sales at Psion Teklogix. “Because the Ikôn is extremely rugged it can withstand relentless exposure as the unit is carried in all weather conditions and is constantly passed between drivers and customers.”
Street Fleet began the upgrade of its internal dispatching system by choosing integrator Emkat, Inc., who utilized Penchant Software to provide a customized dispatching solution. Once in place, the Ikôn mobile computing device was integrated into the system, followed by connectivity through T-Mobile’s high speed data network, enabling the flow of real-time data.
With the Psion Teklogix Ikôn, Street Fleet has a rugged, easy-to-use handheld computer that integrates seamlessly with their dispatching system, provides sustained battery life throughout the entire work day and even lets them track weather and traffic conditions, increasing the productivity of their drivers.
