Savoya, a leading provider of global chauffeured services, and Remote Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: REDI), a leading provider of mobile resource management solutions for commercial fleets, announced today that Savoya will exclusively offer Remote Dynamics' REDIview(TM) Fleet solution to its vendor-owned vehicle network.

"The new system will provide historical data on vehicle routes which will allow us to provide the most secure ground transportation solution possible to our clients." Danza added, "In addition to increased oversight and tracking, the new system will allow Savoya to offer wireless access to the Internet in each vehicle."
Along with GPS technology, Remote Dynamics' REDIview Fleet solution will provide Savoya with detailed analysis by collecting real-time vehicle information such as vehicle speed, direction, idle time, fuel efficiency, and ignition on/off.

"REDIview provides a comprehensive view into the location of each vehicle, and provides important vehicle and chauffeur behavior data that will enable Savoya to better understand both the quality and cost of service delivery."
Under the terms of the Agreement, Certified Savoya Operators will benefit from a pre-negotiated program between Savoya and Remote Dynamics aimed to accelerate the outfitting of their vehicles with REDIview Fleet.
