Xata Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA) has introduced ComplianceConnect, a new product that enables fleets to seamlessly integrate their existing driver productivity applications with Xata Turnpike, Xata’s EOBR (electronic on-board recorder) system.

ComplianceConnect features a two-way mobile application programming interface (API) that enables Xata Turnpike to seamlessly run alongside existing driver productivity applications, automatically collecting a variety of driver and vehicle data, thus providing drivers and fleet managers with a single interface to manage:

•Hours of service (HOS)

•Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR)

•Speed

•Idle time

•Hard braking

•Routes/GPS

•Arrival and departure times

•Engine-fault codes

This integration enables fleets to make the most of their existing investment while taking advantage of the industry’s easiest and most affordable solution for complying with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, including the current released technical requirements for 395.16. Expected to go into effect in mid-2012, this remedial directive mandates EOBRs for all carriers with poor HOS compliance status.

Fleets can use ComplianceConnect to seamlessly integrate Xata Turnpike with Airclic, Apacheta, and more than 35 additional MRM, dispatch, routing, proof-of-delivery, and other third-party mobile applications.
