Fleet Despatch & Navigation System
MercuryMobile is a drivers dream. By embracing GPRS capability, MercuryMobile enables bookings to be despatched to the drivers anywhere in the UK, and allows them to update the current status of the job at the touch of the screen. By the clever interfacing with other Pocket PC programs, the drivers can route to their pick-up and drop-off points using Satellite Navigation Software (the Xda shows the drivers position on a moving map, the direction to take, and "talks" to the driver), and also accept Credit/Debit card payments on completion of the journey. Owners track the location of the vehicle by GPS.
