LAS VEGAS - Qualcomm Incorporated, a provider of business-to-business wireless enterprise applications and services, has added the Analytics Manager service to the Qualcomm Transportation Services suite, which reports driving performance to help carriers run their businesses more efficiently and safely.

The Analytics Manager will provide a critical-event reporting dashboard, driver safety reports and scorecards, as well as key industry benchmarking. The service is expected to be available on multiple Qualcomm platforms this fall.

"All sizes of fleets can benefit from the Analytics Manager service, but especially smaller fleets that typically cannot afford to build their own," said Norm Ellis, vice president of sales, services and marketing at Qualcomm Enterprise Services. "By pulling the customer's data together from their use of Qualcomm's existing products and services, we are able to provide the fleet manager with an in-depth analysis for making immediate improvements to the fleet."

Analytics Manager presents actionable data via intuitive user interfaces that make the information easy to understand, navigate and interpret. The service enables easier identification of areas of improvement for fleets, as customers can easily set parameters for driver performance monitoring and view data at the group or functional level. Reports planned for the Analytics Manager service include:

• Critical Events Dashboard - outlines fleet-wide safety trends captured with the Critical Event Reporting service

• Driver Scorecard - incorporates data from Hours of Service, Critical Event Reporting, and Performance Monitoring services to assist with CSA 2010 compliance

• Industry Benchmarks - pulls data from multiple services and shows how a carrier's fleet measures against averages for key performance indicators such as fuel consumption, idle time, overspeeding and hard braking
