With real-time GPS tracking functionality and the in-vehicle Garmin device, managers and fleet dispatchers plan their day better by setting up a driver's daily jobs, communicating through two-way messaging, addressing driver safety by pinpointing driver issues as they happen and ultimately, improving customer service levels, providing them with a competitive differentiator in the marketplace.

MARCUS Pulse offers an intuitive, graphical interface dashboard designed to help fleet managers and owners pinpoint the trends that increase cost and reduce overall productivity. An important upgrade in the 8.8.2 release is the customer's ability to set their own goals on key performance indicators (KPIs) to benchmark fleet operations.
