The summit was for clients and prospective customers who were interested in learning and sharing relevant fleet topics such as developing, controlling and managing fleet budgets and spend; the increasingly important role of the fleet manager, creating a successful fleet strategy that is socially and economically responsible; and the perspective on key economic trends and how they relate to fleet, including the credit market, rising energy prices and the weakening labor market.
Telargo was a part of the lively panel discussion covering subject matter such as environmental fleet goals, the rising cost of fuel, and new vehicle trends. Randy Read, Vice President, U.S. Sales, Telargo Inc., summarized Telargo's collaboration with Wheels on topics that enable Wheels customers to reduce fuel expense, automate HoS and IFTA regulatory compliance, optimize routing and scheduling and adopt environmentally friendly practices. In addition, Randy spoke about the growing convergence of fleet management and telematics and the positive impact of providing enhanced service levels to companies that manage fleet vehicles as well as a mobile workforce.
The agenda also included presentations from Wheels President and CEO Jim Frank, Scott Pattullo, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Scott Edidin, Senior Account Manager and Tom Webb, Chief Economist for Manheim Consulting.
