| Routeware Launches VehiclePort™ - Fleet Maintenance Dashboards That Track Vehicle Health, Fuel Economy, and Vehicle Emissions VehiclePort gives waste haulers and recyclers powerful, real-time views into the health and performance of their fleets, so potential maintenance problems can be resolved before a truck breaks down in the field. Easy tracking of fuel economy and vehicle emissions helps haulers lead the industry in sustainability. BEAVERTON, OR - March 31, 2010 - Routeware, Inc. (http://www.routeware.com), a leader in hardware and software solutions for the waste industry, today announced the release of VehiclePort, a powerful new fleet maintenance module for Routeware's successful HomePort™ line of analytical tools for waste haulers. Using VehiclePort's real-time data dashboard and easy-to-read graphs, waste haulers can quickly identify and resolve problems with their fleet-before a truck breaks down in the field. VehiclePort reads data collected directly from the vehicle's built-in controller-area network (CAN) bus and sends it back to the office via Routeware's on-board computing system. VehiclePort charts and alerts give fleet managers a real-time view of vehicle health, fuel economy, and tailpipe emissions. "Our goal is to provide durable, innovative, high-value tools to help waste haulers driver better performance from their fleets," said Robert DeKoning, President & CEO of Routeware. "In addition to offering haulers a preventative maintenance tool, VehiclePort's emissions reporting functions open the door to sustainability-a very significant step in the industry's trend towards green trash collection." In addition to truck and fleet statistics, VehiclePort fully integrates with many popular fleet maintenance software packages, furthering Routeware's vision for creating a seamless, paperless hauling operation for its customers. VehiclePort is the latest addition to Routeware's powerful HomePort family of indispensable tools that give haulers fast, real-time visibility into every aspect of their operation: fleet, driver, route, safety, customers, and more. Along with DriverPort™, which was released last month, the new VehiclePort one-click access to dashboards and scorecards, Routeware is transforming haulers into leaner, tougher competitors.
