Sentinel-FM is a turn-key high-security fleet management solution
developed by BSM Wireless that provides security, location,
reporting and messaging capabilities for fleet managers who
need to more effectively secure and manage their vehicles.
Based on an ASP model the Sentinel-FM system uses GPS technology
to pinpoint the location of a customer's vehicles, wireless
data technology to communicate the information to BSM’s
data servers and the Internet to give customers complete
access 24/7 from anywhere in their organization using a
standard web browser.
A fleet manager can utilize the Sentinel-FM system to manage
vehicle security including monitoring vehicles for security
breaches or theft and controlling critical vehicle functions.
For example, unauthorized vehicle access can automatically
generate a critical alarm notification that a fleet manager
can respond to by disabling the vehicle with the click of
a mouse.
The system also allows a fleet manager to generate detailed
reports on location, speed, direction of travel, stops and
more, utilize two-way text messaging to improve fleet management
operations and make use of user-defined landmarks to locate
the nearest vehicle and assist in scheduling and reporting.
