TouchStar developed its FleetAtlas Framework to specifically address fleet operators' critical needs. The platform consists of:
- Telematics applications for fleet tracking and driver management;

- Compliance applications for accurate records of the Department of Transportation's (DoT's) safety procedures;
- Planning applications; and
- Business Intelligence for precise reporting and decision-making.
"The use of a single vendor helps end users reduce costs, increase operational efficiency and facilitate scalability," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Paola Conti. "The company's keenness to deliver solutions that can turn raw data into actionable information establishes it as a leader in a market that is increasingly demanding smart and predictive performance analytics."
TouchStar has partnered with leading software and hardware providers to offer device and smartphone capabilities that can be used with or without cellular connections. Along with mobility integration, TouchStar provides WellSite, an application that serves as a personal assistant to truck drivers in managing their end-to-end field operations. Simultaneously, its ServiCE mobile application helps increase the utilization of service technician, inspection and workforce automation. Both of these mobile applications are aimed at improving end-user performance.
Other innovative applications from TouchStar include iTRACK, a cloud-based fleet tracking solution; intelTRACK, an expandable dynamic telematics solution; and OPTITOOL, for advanced scheduling and optimization. These tools and innovative applications are designed to reduce the performance variability of an organization, without compromising the ability to scale efficiently.
"Furthermore, acknowledging the varied capabilities of its customers, TouchStar has developed a wide range of solutions to meet their needs," noted Conti. "For customers that require value additions, it has a comprehensive solution that integrates multiple sources of data into a manageable platform."
Overall, TouchStar has entrenched itself in the integrated fleet automation market by demonstrating the strength of its solutions, one client at a time. Its ability to deliver a software solution that directly impacts a fleet operator's bottom line by meeting its operational benchmarks positions it as a frontrunner in the market.
