J. J. Keller Encompass ELD
Neenah, Wisconsin, United States
What it is
J. J. Keller Encompass ELD provides U.S. and Canadian hours-of-service compliance for fleets required to use electronic logs. The VT100 hardware links to the mobile app over Bluetooth Low Energy and sends engine and vehicle data to the Encompass platform, including when a driver's device is offline. HOS tools include multiple rulesets, alerts as drivers approach limits, team driving, border crossing, personal conveyance, and yard moves. Integrated electronic driver vehicle inspection reports support customized criteria, defect-resolution workflows, and smartphone photos of defects. Fleet visibility includes vehicle tracking and engine fault-code monitoring; geofencing and driver-behavior tracking are optional. The maker says its ELD solutions meet the U.S. ELD mandate and include DOT driver and vehicle compliance recordkeeping at no additional cost. Drivers can use their own iPhone or Android device, or an Android Compliance Tablet with the app preloaded. Encompass APIs can share employee, driver-log, unit, GPS, performance-event, HOS, and other data. Subscription cost varies by term and number of users, and customers must contact sales for a quote.
