TRUCE Software

Functions:

TRUCE Software is designed to eliminate distracted driving and to ensure driver safety. As opposed to in-vehicle monitoring systems, Truce Software enables managers to eliminate driver access to texts, email, handheld calls, games and any other inappropriate app usage, while allowing mission-critical applications through the system.

Auto-response settings to texts and iMessages enable drivers to tell managers they are driving and will respond upon reaching the destination. Incoming calls are sent to voice mail or drivers can respond to calls using hands-free Bluetooth devices.

The application can detect phones within the vehicle and disable all phones or only phones in the driver’s area.
