BigRoad, creator of transportation apps, is releasing its HOS logging solution on an iPhone platform. The app is currently available on Android.
“In 2012, it was reported that 76% of fleet managers in the transportation industry rely on smartphones, and 64% of those managers indicated nearly all of their drivers were carrying smartphones,” said Kelly Frey, CEO. “BigRoad's entire mission is to make life on the road easy and simple, and part of that strategy includes universal access to our app across all device platforms. We have a huge amount of pent up demand for our app on the Apple platform. Hundreds of fleets and thousands of drivers have been eagerly awaiting this release, and since going live on the App Store we have already witnessed thousands of downloads. We're incredibly excited to extend our popular app to the iPhone and iPad.”
