HARRISBURG, Pa. — TransCore’s GlobalWave in-cab satellite-based mobile communications and asset tracking system is now compatible with McLeod Software, a provider of transportation management solutions software. Officials say the integration also allows GlobalWave satellite trailer tracking customers to view their equipment positions from within McLeod Software’s LoadMaster enterprise management software.

“Through this alliance with McLeod Software, TransCore substantially enlarges its customer reach,” said David Sward, TransCore’s GlobalWave general manager. “Customers need their information and communications systems to work together to enhance customer service and improve efficiency. In this competitive market, integration is an effective way to meet customers’ needs.”

“We value our relationship with TransCore,” said Rick Halbrooks, vice-president of sales and marketing for McLeod Software, “and we welcome them as integration partner with our LoadMaster Mobile Communications Symphony interface. Combining the two applications will enable our customers to better track and manage their vehicle fleets and obtain vital fleet information, which improves asset utilization, increases ROI and maximizes efficiency.”

GlobalWave uses GPS and satellite communication technology that allows carriers to locate trucks and communicate with drivers from anywhere the Internet can be accessed.
