The device enablesoptimised communication and information exchange between drivers and the office,while enabling accurate routing via its turn-by-turn navigation system. MiX Roviis user-centric, featuring a compact, sleek design with a seven-inch colourtouch screen. "When developing MiX Rovi, we started with our customers` needs in mind, so theproduct represents a solution that is fully customisable. Operators can lookforward to enhanced efficiency and improved customer service," says CharlesTasker, Managing Director of MiX Telematics (International). MiX Rovi enables fleet managers to create their own data inputs on the back-end- inputs that are based on the unique workings of their operation. A servicefleet, for example, could set up data inputs like `arrival time`, `quantity ofgoods delivered`, and `quantities returned`. The inputs, reflected as onscreenicons on the display, facilitate prompt, real-time communication between driversand fleet managers, meaning that customers can make effective decisions andrespond immediately to issues that arise. "We already have customers who are very keen on this new functionality, some ofwhom we have worked with closely to get to the final result," says Tasker,adding, "Fleet managers experience a lot of frustration in dealing with anoverload of paperwork - often only able to collate their data at the end of eachday. They are always on the lookout for ways to improve their turnaround timesand enhance customer service." MiX Rovi is easy to install and works in conjunction with MiX Telematics`on-board computers, FM Communicator or FM Tracer. The customised data inputs areconfigured in FM-Web, the company`s web-based application that is accessible 24hours a day. Along with accessing operational fleet data as it is captured,fleet managers are able to report on the custom inputs that have been capturedby their drivers. In the near future, MiX Rovi will include jobs and messaging functionality aswell as functionality that supports hours of service compliance. The additionalfeatures will further promote the benefits of enhanced efficiency and improvedcustomer service.
