			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SANTA ANA, CA – IntelliStick®—an advanced technology, real-time, condition-based maintenance tool—has been chosen by Manning NavComp, Inc., a premiere vehicle tracking software and integration company, to provide oil condition data for its RASTRAC® product line, a leading GPS fleet tracking and remote asset management solution that has been used on more than 5,000 systems and nearly 300,000 vehicles and assets worldwide. Today the two companies announced a five-year agreement to offer a bundled package with engine performance monitoring devices from both companies that will be jointly marketed and available for purchase from either company.</p>
<p>RASTRAC is designed to be flexible and scalable, making it an ideal vehicle tracking solution for fleets of all sizes. From small delivery companies with just a few vehicles to large multi-national operations dispatching thousands of vehicles, RASTRAC&#8217;s flexibility makes it a logical choice for fleets of any size operating virtually anywhere in the world. </p>
<p>The IntelliStick system—which continuously scans engine oil for water, coolant or fuel intrusions and monitors oil oxidation, level and temperature—has been configured to transmit data via the RASTRAC engine performance monitoring system. RASTRAC then provides alerts to maintenance personnel, allowing them to take preventive steps to reduce engine damage and costly breakdowns. Customers who install an Intellistick with an existing, compatible RASTRAC system or purchase the new bundled package will receive real-time reports on oil condition and engine performance for vehicle fleets of all sizes, as well as for engines used in industrial applications. The data is transmitted via radio, satellite, cellular, or GPRS to laptops, smartphones and other devices that can be located remotely.</p>
<p>“We are pleased to be partnering with RASTRAC, as it allows us to  provide the tools and resources fleet owners need to maximize engine performance and fuel economy, while minimizing the need for costly repairs and unproductive down time,” said Fred Rogers, president of IntelliStick.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our customers demand systems that are powerful and easy to use,&#8221; stated Jeff Manning, president of Manning NavComp, Inc. &#8220;Our goal with RASTRAC has always been to provide the best solutions possible. With IntelliStick, we can now provide our customers with oil condition data in a fashion not previously available, which helps us service our customers even better than ever before.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this economic environment, many fleet operators are facing higher operating costs, drastically reduced revenues, and increased competition for a smaller set of customer opportunities. To make matters worse, they are often facing these challenges with a skeleton crew of personnel.</p>
<p>We have polled our customers&#8211;operators of fleets from 4 -4,000 vehicles&#8211; on the benefits of using fleet tracking and management software to meet the challenges of the New Economy. Here are the top 5:</p>
<ul> <strong>Reduce Fuel Use.</strong> By tracking excess idle time and reducing &#8220;off-route&#8221; travel, our fleet owner customers can often save one to three tanks of fuel per month, per vehicle.<br />
<strong>Raise Better Drivers.</strong> By tracking parameters such as hard braking, over-revving, and speeding, fleet owners can incentivize good driving habits that reduce equipment wear and tear, improve fuel economy, and reduce liability.<br />
<strong>Maximize Asset Utilization.</strong> With good fleet management tools, fleet operators can more efficiently schedule and dispatch their vehicles and equipment and be more responsive to customers. Historical reporting can help with future resource planning and identify customer billing issues.<br />
<strong>Improve Maintenance Programs.</strong> Engine diagnostic reporting and maintenance scheduling tools help ensure vehicles are maintained properly and efficiently based on time, engine hours, or engine load. Instant notification of diagnostic trouble codes ensure problems are caught before they become more expensive repairs.<br />
<strong>Go Green.</strong> By ensuring your vehicles are operating at maximum efficiency and properly maintained, you are also minimizing the impact on the environment. This can be a competitive advantage as customers are increasingly conscious of how &#8220;green&#8221; their vendors are.</ul>
