Selecting a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) information system to support the fleet operation used to be decided on factors such as price and personal opinions. While these cannot be disregarded, the purchasing organization should weigh other important elements such as vendor experience, ease of use, and the mapping of available features and functions to the organization’s needs and preferences.

Mercury does not sell fleet management software. As an independent, unbiased evaluator, advisor, and implementer of all of the best-known COTS packages, we are in the best position to develop specifications and evaluations of the package or product that will best serve you.

We have evaluated, implemented or hosted well-known applications such as Maximus’s Fleet Focus M4™ and Fleet Focus FA™; Squarerigger’s SQ7™; CCG Systems’ Faster™; E-Drive Technology’s Webfleet™; Chevin Fleet Solutions’ Fleet Wave™; Collective Data’s CollectiveFleetPro™; Business Objects’ Crystal Reports™; and Mitchell1’s Repair and Estimator.

Mercury’s experience indicates that the best choice usually is a technology that is highly intuitive – simple to use and manage at all levels of the organization. We prefer to specify user-friendly but full-featured applications that keep the complex calculations and logic behind the scenes where they belong.
