Cancom names Contalitec Informatique to its certified software vendor program

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (Nov. 11, 2002) — Cancom Tracking, a provider of mobile communications for the Canadian transportation industry, said it has named Contalitec Informatique as a certified software vendor.

Contalitec Informatique, based in Boucherville, Que., has integrated its Transnet software with OmniTRACS, the satellite-based communications system supported by Cancom.

“This partnership creates a package that integrates information received via satellite into QTRACS Windows and then into the company’s host computer for an extraordinary software solution, Cancom said. “In addition to driver’s being able to update shipment status and receive load assignments through OmniTRACS, the system transmits vehicle-positioning information that can also be integrated into Transnet.”

Most of the information currently entered by drivers and dispatchers will be captured, transferred via OmniTRACS, and then updated automatically into the Transnet. Drivers can record 90 per cent of dispatch events from arrived at shipper, hours worked, through to delivery of the load, according to Cancom. “This will save countless hours of mundane entry allowing the dispatch to find back-hauls thereby helping the carrier to reduce empty miles,” the company said.
