Palm, Inc. and Michelin announced that Michelin North Americas, Inc. has purchased more than 500 Palm Tungsten T handhelds for its commercial fleet sales force. Sales consultants from the commercial fleet sales force at Michelin are using Tungsten T handhelds to collect tire data while onsite at customer locations. Information such as tire wear, age, and mileage is recorded, analyzed, and reported to keep commercial customers abreast of tire performance. The solution also helps keep the Michelin product-development team one step ahead of the competition.
