Networkcar, a Reynolds and Reynolds company specialising in remotely monitoring vehicle location and diagnostics, has launched a ¡®DataConnect¡¯ service for its Networkfleet wireless vehicle management system. The new service enables sharing of Networkfleet vehicle and GPS data with a third-party application in near real-time, enabling vehicle fleets and independent software vendors (ISVs) to use Networkfleet data by creating integrated solutions. For example, in:

- Routing/Dispatching - By integrating Networkfleet GPS data into routing/dispatching applications, fleet managers can pinpoint current vehicle locations and efficiently route drivers.

- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - Access to Networkfleet GPS data in GIS applications allows fleet managers to easily pinpoint the nearest vehicle to a customer location on a map and improve response times.

- Fleet Management and Asset Management -- Networkfleet diagnostics data integrated into fleet and asset management applications enables fleet managers to schedule immediate repair or maintenance of a vehicle the instant a diagnostic trouble code is triggered.
