Second-largest Electric Cooperative in Texas Leverages Telargo's Mobile Asset Management Solution to Provide Incomparable Service to Members and Customers.

Telargo, Inc., a leading provider of mobile asset management solutions, announced today that CoServ Electric, an energy distribution cooperative based in Corinth, Texas, will be using Telargo's fleet management solution in all of its electric and gas service vehicles. The cooperative provides electricity services to more than 120,000 residential, commercial and industrial members in parts of Denton, Collin, Tarrant, Wise, Cooke and Grayson counties. The CoServ Gas subsidiary, established in 1998, provides natural gas services to more than 56,000 residential and commercial customers in North Texas. Telargo's solution will allow CoServ to maximize its fleet and equipment utilization, increase productivity and drive down operating costs.

Telargo enables customers to streamline operations and maximize the performance of their mobile assets using advanced technologies, such as global positioning systems (GPS), wireless communication, and digital mapping, coupled with comprehensive analysis and management software. Telargo's solution optimizes mobile asset usage for vehicles, machinery, trailers, vessels and drivers/operators.

"CoServ's vision is to consistently exceed customers' expectations for safety, reliability, service, value and community support. The Telargo solution helps to support this vision by allowing us to closely monitor our service vehicles," said CoServ Senior Vice President Administrative Services, Jim Chism. "We chose Telargo's mobile asset management solution because it is a tool that enables us to manage labor and assets more efficiently. The system allows us more to accurately pinpoint truck location and activity, and it offers our drivers more accurate performance feedback, which in turn allows us to provide better service to our members and customers."

CoServ will be using Telargo for location intelligence, workforce management, and preventative maintenance using on-board diagnostic codes. All of these features are accessible through Telargo's Control Center, which is an intuitive Web-based interface.

Bogdan Pavlic, president and CEO of Telargo, commented, "By leveraging the Telargo solution, CoServ has the ability to increase fleet productivity in order to accelerate work processes and improve customer service. We are pleased to support CoServ's commitment to providing electricity to their members as close to cost as possible, by providing them with an effective fleet management system."
