Verizon announces it is rolling out Networkfleet, a fleet-management solution that provides monitoring and management capabilities for increased productivity and improved customer service, on the Verizon Wireless network.

The Networkfleet solution—part of Hughes Telematics which Verizon acquired last year—allows insurance carriers to manage their fleets of claims, field adjustment, and catastrophe vehicles efficiently and effectively.

With the new solution as part of its telematics portfolio the company is building on the joint capabilities of Verizon and Hughes Telematics to help fleet, operations and risk managers use technology to improve operations by managing speed, fuel consumption, drivers, and vehicles while optimizing vehicle use and routes using vehicle diagnostics to help hold the line on maintenance costs.

"As one of the largest commercial fleet operators in the United States, Verizon recognizes the challenges and opportunities associated with managing fleets and we continue to shape our offerings to help customers turn rolling assets into a competitive business advantage,'' says David Small, senior vice president and chief platform officer for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "We see the fleet management space as a tremendous opportunity and we will continue to work with our ecosystem to serve this growing market and are committed to innovating in the machine-to-machine space."

The Networkfleet telematics solution combines in-vehicle hardware and a Web-based application to store, view and analyze data on specific vehicles as well as overall fleet performance. Vehicles are equipped with a GPS device that sends information to the Networkfleet Data Center over a secure wireless network. Key features include GPS fleet tracking; asset tracking; fleet maps; vehicle diagnostics with alerts; roadside assistance; preventative maintenance; and other fleet management tools.
