Rinaldo Adler, TMT's vice president of development, says FleetPortal built into a TMT touch screen would speed work."The touch screen sits out there on the shop floor," Adler explains."The mechanic interacts with it when the shop supervisor schedules a job for him. [The supervisor] says, 'Here are the units you need to work on.You need to work on this one first, this one second and so on, and here's what you need to do.' "[The technician] logs in and out of those jobs on the touch screen.In the computer is all the information about the vehicle, year, make, model, and repair history that he can look up currently.If he's signed into a job to fix brakes or replace an alternator or whatever, we want to give him the option to hit a button and go out to FleetPortal to see his technical information."
