Mobile Resource Management

CompassCom Software has implemented a multi-fleet Mobile Resource Management solution for the City of Thornton, CO. The City is now able to manage more than 100 vehicles from four city departments, tracking with GPS in real time using CompassCom Software’s solution. The Thornton vehicle fleets included in the mobile resource management implementation are snowplows, fire engines, ambulances, and a variety of service trucks. A major selling point of CompassLDE is its universal compatibility with third-party vehicle equipment, such as snowplow material spreaders and emergency vehicle sirens. CompassLDE is hosted by the City and integrates with these devices and automatically transmits their status back to dispatchers. This is especially important with the snowplows because it enables the city to know precisely where de-icing materials have been applied by the spreaders.
