AssetWorks Announces KeyValet, Automated Motor Pool Solution

KeyValet is a Comprehensive Automated Motor Pool Solution with Seamless
Integration to the FleetFocus Fleet Management Software Solution
WAYNE, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
AssetWorks, a leading provider of fleet management software and automated fuel
management systems, today announced its newest product, KeyValet. KeyValet is an
integrated hardware and motor pool software solution that provides end-to-end
management of all aspects of a fleet`s motor pool.

Motor pool functionality has been a component of the FleetFocus fleet management
software suite for years. The introduction of KeyValet (patent pending) expands
the capabilities by allowing for a fully unmanned motor pool operation. Through
the addition of KeyValet, all activities related to the maintenance and
administration of a motor pool-manned and unmanned (automated) locations,
reservations, availability management, vehicle security and dispatch, vehicle
maintenance, billing and reporting can be managed using a single solution.
Additionally, KeyValet captures real-time odometer readings wirelessly, as the
customer departs and returns to the motor pool lot which are integrated into
FleetFocus` single maintenance database ensuring greater accuracy and efficiency
for maintenance activities and accurate motor pool billing.

Long-time AssetWorks customer, the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder),
is among the first to add KeyValet to their fleet. CU-Boulder`s total fleet is
comprised of 600 units, a combination of transit vehicles, work equipment,
administration vehicles and a robust motor pool operation.

"We were looking for a real time dispatch solution," says Bryan Flansburg, CAFM,
Director, Transportation Services, CU-Boulder. "Our current processes require
customers to pick up their keys during our business hours and return to pick up
their vehicle at their dispatch time. The KeyValet solution will make it much
more convenient for our customers as well as improving the accuracy of the
actual departures and returns of our vehicles. We believe that once the system
is fully implemented and accepted throughout our campus community we will be
able to recognize about a 30% reduction in motor pool administration. We feel
that AssetWorks is the best solution for us because the integration between our
current fleet software, FleetFocus, and the Fleet Focus/ KeyValet motor pool
system."

How it Works

* A motor pool customer uses their fleet`s secure intranet to make their
reservation, any time day or night.
* Once the reservation has been completed, the customer receives an automated
email containing a confirmation code which allows them to access the vehicle`s
key at the motor pool lot. Fleets that use smart card technology for their
employees can also opt to integrate reservations with the employee`s smart card
in lieu of using a confirmation code.
* Using their smart card or confirmation code, the customer is able to release
the correct key from the secure key box. Only one key for their pool type
vehicle can be accessed and customers can configure the system to pre-assign
with parameters such as low mileage, high mileage or random.
* When the key lock box door is closed, the reservation automatically dispatches
the vehicle in FleetFocus and the customer trip begins.
* Upon return of the vehicle, the odometer reading is taken wirelessly as the
car enters the parking lot.
* Using their smart card, confirmation code or vehicle number to open the key
box, the customer returns the keys to the designated position triggering the
following events:
* FleetFocus automatically updates the reservation as "returned" using the most
recent wireless meter reading.
* A completed reservation with cost summary is sent to the customer via email
using FleetFocus Notifications.
* The vehicle`s mileage is updated accurately in real-time in the maintenance
system.

Data from KeyValet is integrated with FleetFocus` Business Intelligence
functionality, including detailed reporting with drill-down capabilities,
customizable dashboards, trend analysis, and event-driven notifications. An
optional GPS integration is also available.

KeyValet`s motor pool software integrated with FleetFocus` fleet management
software solution makes automated processes possible that might not be available
for customers using multiple systems. The benefits of using a single fleet
management software and motor pool management system include cost savings from
running and/or expanding a motor pool without additional staff, time savings
through automated processes, greater accuracy for reporting and billing based on
data collected in real-time, and improved customer service by providing a motor
pool service that can be accessed 24/7. KeyValet uniquely provides a single
application on a single database to manage every aspect of operating a motor
pool-completely integrated with a market-leading fleet management solution. An
additional benefit is that customers can rely on a single vendor to support the
entire solution.

Motor pools have become an environmentally responsible option to increase ride
sharing for today's fleets. Ride sharing can also help reduce fleet expenses.
AssetWorks` KeyValet solution offers technology that makes end-to-end automated
motor pool management a reality.
