 
The demands of the commercial transportation industry, and in particular the demands of those companies that perform a large amount of vehicle maintenance, require a business system that can deal with assets that are not fixed in terms of location, application, intervals between maintenance activities, etc. This demands a centralized and integrated database which enrich uses for its model of data design.
Companies involved in the fleet management industry benefit from a high degree of integration within their business applications. For example, contract terms and conditions must be accessible in a number of applications beyond just billing. These include maintenance, fuel, and call centers where the same information must be available to make decisions on billable activities, rates, and mark-ups. Other instances require the collection and use of mileages and other metrics in a variety of applications from billing to scheduling maintenance.
Since enrich is designed specifically for companies that have many branch operations, and in light of the above requirement for database centralization, communication cost plays a significant role in the determination of system architecture. The thin client approach to enrich allows for a reduced bandwidth requirement, thus saving our customers large communication costs.
Our clients have the option of hosting enrich on their own iSeries or outsourcing to our ASP system.
Because of our early decisions to standardize on the IBM iSeries server, we have been able to sell our solution to accounts with as few as 100 units, and as many as 100,000 units. Scalability is unequaled, and growth is amazingly cost-effective. Our value proposition is to make the hardware operations of the fleet maintenance system totally transparent to users and IT, once implemented.
- The iSeries has consistently outperformed all competition in lowest total cost of implementation.
- The iSeries has never been ‘hacked’, nor has anyone been successful at trying to infect it with a virus.
- Our ASP server has had only 0.01% unscheduled downtime in over 7 years.
