How It Works

Automobiles and trucks have come a long way since the days of the Model T. Today, a sophisticated onboard computer manages your vehicle's operation. This computer oversees numerous sensors and systems within your vehicle to monitor its performance. Many new services are now available because of new technologies sometimes referred to as telematics, remote diagnostics, or automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems.

Networkfleet works automatically

After our patented technology is installed in your vehicle, our system is able to communicate with your vehicle's onboard computer, interpret the data and transmit important information back to you, your service provider or fleet managers. The Networkfleet system works on nearly all cars and trucks MY96 and newer and heavy-duty trucks MY88 and newer.

Immediate notification of problems

Networkfleet notifies you immediately if a problem is detected and allows your service provider to remotely troubleshoot your vehicle problems online before you even bring your car in for service. Fleet Managers receive periodic reports that describe the mechanical status of their vehicles, how much fuel they are consuming, their fuel efficiency, and whether or not drivers have been speeding. Both Fleet Managers and individual users also receive e-mail alerts if our system detects a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or if the vehicle reaches a service milestone based on mileage. We help you save on your most valuable commodity - time! In some states, car owners and fleets can even receive a convenient remote smog test.

GPS tracking -- Benefits for car owners and fleets

A vehicle's location is determined with a global positioning system (GPS). When the vehicle is in operation, Networkfleet wirelessly transmits location information in near real time and diagnostic information at frequent intervals to a central computer system. The system analyzes the information and posts the results on a secure web site (www.networkfleet.com) that has separate user interfaces for both fleet managers and individual drivers.
