LEEDS, England, August 12, 2010 - Masternaut has launched the world's first feature rich web-based
vehicle tracking service for the Apple iPhone and iPad. This is the
first in a series of free apps for Apple products from the Yorkshire-
based telematics and mobile resource management innovator.
The Masternaut Rapide app for iPhone provides the core functionalities
of the live Masternaut service to managers on the move. It provides an
essential real-time link to important operational information whenever
they are away from the office.
"Apple's iPhone is gaining popularity in the business world and we
are pleased to be able to offer customers a free app that will allow
them to access important Masternaut information on the go. This will be
very useful for transport managers and mobile service engineers," says
Johann Levy, Research and Development Manager, Masternaut Three X.
Rapide makes real-time and historic vehicle information available to
iPhone and iPad users. Managers can use this information to monitor
the exact movement of their entire fleet, with instant updates tracked
by global positioning satellites. The system can also locate and
monitor individual vehicles as well as provide their movement
histories. For the mobile engineer, it gives an instant view of their
nearest colleagues, customer contacts and next job.
"The system is extremely fast and reactive. There is no downloading
of web pages and you only download the data you need, so it is very
cost effective. It gives a full map view for locating vehicles and
staff at any time and provides satellite images. We believe this
development to be an important tool for the future of fleet and mobile
worker management," says Johann Levy.
The company will also develop versions of Rapide for Blackberry and
for Android phones.
