Ginny Liddle, corporate fleet administrator for Terracon Consultants, Inc., said, “It is a wonderful extension of ePlan. I first used it when I had to work from home because of a snow storm. Drivers could still get their vehicles repaired on time because I could approve the services from my mobile phone.”

ePlan Mobile for Fleet Managers is also a crucial tool for her fleet staff.
Liddle said, “Most of my fleet reps are in the field and really rely on it for approving everything.”

The mobile site enables users to:

  • Gain freedom and flexibility while performing their job duties

  • Increase productivity and keep drivers mobile

  • Prioritize the most time sensitive service requests

“ePlan Mobile for Fleet Managers can also help minimize driver downtime because it prioritizes approver requests based on whether or not the driver is waiting on their vehicle. These service requests are bumped to the top of the list to be more visible to the fleet manager for quicker approval,” said Nancy D’Amico, senior vice president and chief information officer.
