TomTom WORK presents improved Connected Navigation for businesses

Apr 01 2009

Strengthening TomTom WORK's commitment to businesses by enhancing the efficiency of their fleet and contributing more to the bottom line

Leipzig, 1 April 2009: TomTom WORK, the B2B division of TomTom, today announces the TomTom GO 7000 and the TomTom WEBFLEET Dashboard. These products are designed to help companies save time, money and fuel, as well as improve their overall business performance.

TomTom GO 7000
The TomTom GO 7000 meets the requirements of professional drivers operating in a commercial vehicle fleet. It is HD Traffic (TM) ready, ensuring drivers receive current real-time traffic information, as well as reports about delays and suggestions on alternative routes. HD Traffic coupled with TomTom IQ Routes (TM) ensures the best route and provides the most accurate arrival times.

Among the other features of the TomTom GO 7000 are:

  • LIVE Services ready*, including Safety Alerts and Local Search with Google, in order to find garages or motorway service stations
  • TomTom Map Share (TM) technology so users can instantly make map corrections on their device and share those with others
  • Text to Speech and Voice address input increasing driver safety by reducing the frequency with which drivers need to look at the display during the journey.

TomTom GO 7000 is part of the Connected Navigation solution TomTom WORK Active.

TomTom WEBFLEET Dashboard
TomTom WEBFLEET Dashboard is a new reporting tool within the online application for fleet management, TomTom WEBFLEET. It is easy to use, visually intuitive and presents performance measurements that are critical to the operations of a commercial vehicle fleet. With one single overview, the user sees all analyses and trends in order to make quick decisions regarding their fleet, teams and drivers. Additionally, users can specify up to 15 'Key Performance Indicators' (KPIs) in order to judge the performance of their business against its goals.

"Today, managers of vehicle fleets have a lot of information regarding their vehicles and orders at their disposal, but they don't have the time to utilise this information effectively," says Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director TomTom WORK. "While the new TomTom GO 7000 makes professional navigation even more time and fuel efficient, the TomTom WEBFLEET Dashboard supports the management of fleets. Especially in times of economic difficulty, when costs have to be reduced and processes optimised, TomTom WEBFLEET Dashboard enables decisions to be made quickly, based on information that is displayed clearly and that can be quickly retrieved."
