Cheetah was featured along with our customer VinLux Transport in the latest CCJ Digital article, "In the Palm of Your Hands." CCJ highlights Cheetah's ability to improve communications, customer service, and driver safety. Click here to read the article. 

Specifically, CCJ had this to say about how VinLux is using Cheetah Delivery:

VinLux Transport, a fine wine delivery service operated by Napa, Calif.-based Biagi Bros., uses Cheetah Software to optimize its daily delivery routes for 700 orders per day to wine merchants throughout California. VinLux operates a 35-truck fleet of 16-foot temperature-controlled vans.

Before using Cheetah Software to optimize its routes, VinLux already was using Motorola phones and the Sprint-Nextel network to communicate with drivers. Because the Cheetah Software could be installed on the company’s own hardware and increase productivity with minimal upfront cost, “the decision was easy,” says Nick Biagi, director of information technology.

Drivers use the Cheetah application only while the vehicle is stopped at customer sites to capture details such as arrival notices and delivery quantities. Having GPS in the phones eliminates the need for drivers to send status updates and allows them to focus on driving as opposed to sending messages, Biagi says.

Cheetah Software recently developed an application for BlackBerry smartphones that features digital signature capture and camera functionality. The BlackBerry platform is capable of working in a commercial environment and runs on multiple wireless networks, says Stephan Karczag, vice president of sales and marketing.
