FLEETBOSS TAKES ITS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH FEDERAL
SIGNAL CORPORATION'S ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS
GROUP TO NEW LEVEL
Orlando,
Florida (July
06, 2004) FleetBoss
Global Positioning Solutions, Inc., based in Fern Park, Fla.,
today announced a dynamic expansion of its successful Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) relationship with the
Environmental Products Group of Federal Signal Corporation,
Oak Brook, IL. In 2002, FleetBoss partnered with Elgin Sweeper
Company, part of the Environmental Products Group, to develop
FleetMinder—the first system with fully-automated GPS and mapping
capabilities to record sweeping system components.
Due to the enhanced productivity realized from FleetMinder's
initial installations on its Elgin street sweepers, the Environmental
Products Group is now planning to offer FleetMinder as an option
on its entire line of Leach and Wittke refuse vehicles, Vactor
sewer cleaners, and Guzzler vacuum loaders.
The plans are expected to include:
· Use of sales strategies that transfer GPS based solutions
benefits to Federal Signal's end user client organizations;
· Establishment of a cooperative marketing strategy for promoting
FleetMinder;
· Offering vehicle models that will provide organizations with
pre-installed FleetMinder units; and
· Developing a FleetMinder solution to monitor vehicles that
do not return to a home base location.
"Our OEM agreement with Federal Signal Corporation has proven
to be of tremendous value for both our organizations," said
Brian Carroll, President of FleetBoss. "By undertaking these
new initiatives with Federal Signal, we are making that relationship
even stronger and producing outstanding new benefits for the
end user," he added.
