RCS Deploys Rand McNally’s TND 760 Across Fleet August 8, 2013By: Rand McNally announced this week that Red Classic Services, a full-service transportation company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola Bottling Co., has implemented Rand McNally’s TND 760 mobile fleet management solution throughout its fleet. The TND 760 devices replace a previous solution that handled electronic logging and mileage recording for International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) processing for the company. Red Classic said it considered more than 10 different solutions prior to selecting Rand McNally’s TND 760. RCS said its selection was based on a robust functionality and software that was intuitive for drivers, operations and customer service staff to use. In evaluating solutions, Red Classic wanted to ensure that the new system would be able to process customer shipments quickly, correctly and automatically. Red Classic focused on access to real-time information, allowing the company to provide its customers critical information such as estimated arrival time of shipments and the ability to intervene if delays occur. When a truck enters or exits a pickup or delivery location, that information needs to be transferred without driver intervention to Red Classic’s transportation management software — TMWSuite from TMW Systems Inc. — where the information is then used by the dispatch, billing and customer service areas. Another critical requirement for Red Classic was full integration with TMWSuite software. Rand McNally’s Connect software can import thousands of locations from TMWSuite and create geo-fences to automate arrival and departure notification; update the TMWSuite system on a driver’s available hours of service and duty status; send dispatch information to specific drivers rather than specific vehicles; and automatically synchronize messages on the TND 760 and TMWSuite through a single process, ensuring that both systems operate in lockstep with one another. Besides the TMWSuite integration and real-time data, Red Classic executives said other considerations in selecting a new solution were low subscription costs, an easy-to-use device for the drivers, low-cost installation, a proven product, and the ability to export data into reports that can be used by a variety of business areas.
