Expansion is bringing Decisiv’s cloud-based technology to adjacent markets</i></p>

Decisiv is also actively pursuing the application of its technology in other markets where commercial assets are utilized and maintained.</p>
<p>“Use of the Decisiv platform in the North American trucking industry has led to a significant increase in asset utilization and cost reduction for our customers,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “The rapidly growing use by fleets and service locations is occurring across all networks and versions of our cloud-based solution.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Mack Trucks and Volvo Trucks North America now include the Decisiv-built service management platform with every new truck purchase</i></p>
<p><strong>Glen Allen, Virginia – March 5, 2012</strong> – Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced web-based technology designed to connect fleet managers with internal and external service locations, today announced that Mack Trucks, Inc. and Volvo Truck Trucks North America are providing Decisiv-built service management platforms at no charge with all new truck purchases. At Mack Trucks, the game-changing fleet service management platform developed by Decisiv is called MVASIST. At Volvo Trucks, the ASIST platform is the cornerstone of the Volvo Trucks Support Services offering.</p>
<p>“The Decisiv service management platforms developed for Mack Trucks and Volvo Trucks allow fleets to improve communications, manage costs, reduce downtime and increase operating efficiency,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “Through an online portal, customers are able to communicate more effectively and efficiently with dealers, initiate repairs, access a complete service history, approve and monitor repair status and manage repair expenses. Working together in real time allows fleet managers, service providers and dealers to expedite repairs and maximize uptime.”</p>
<p>Decisiv’s innovative web-based service management tool is used by Mack and Volvo customers to communicate more effectively with dealers and service providers. Fleets can receive electronic estimates, approve repairs and issue purchase orders on the platform, regardless of the vehicle’s location. The online tool also allows the customer to monitor vehicle status online, communicate directly with the dealer and maintain an electronic folder of service activities. Consolidating all maintenance events and communication in one tool also eliminates invoice and repair surprises.</p>
<p>Mack and Volvo service providers use the MVASIST and ASIST platforms to provide consistent, complete, professional estimates. The system also delivers fleet and vehicle-specific information, including a customer profile and warranty coverage. The Decisiv-built solutions allow for proactive planning and scheduling of routine inspections and service. One Mack customer, for example, has customized the MVASIST service platform to automatically recommend an inspection of tires, lights and safety equipment whenever one of its tractors is at a dealer for service work.</p>
<p>The Volvo Trucks ASIST platform is part of a newly announced bundle of truck support services that includes Volvo Action Service 24/7 roadside assistance. Customers can initiate a repair event online and communicate with the dealer and Volvo Action Service using the real-time fleet service management platform.</p>
<p>“We are excited to offer MVASIST at no cost to our customers who purchase a new Mack truck,” said John Walsh, Mack vice president, marketing. “This offer is evidence of our commitment to providing customers with the tools they need to more efficiently and effectively do their job.”</p>
<p>Volvo Trucks Support Services is designed to simplify ownership and improve efficiency and flexibility. “Bundling can help protect assets, improve operational efficiency, offer a ‘one-stop shop’ for service and parts information and provide the fleet options to manage costs,” said David Pardue, Volvo Trucks vice president, aftermarket solutions. “Volvo Trucks Support Services provides all of these advantages while simplifying truck operation and maintenance.”</p>
<p>Mack Trucks, Inc. and Volvo Trucks North America are part of the Volvo Group, one of the world&#8217;s leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and services, and is one of the world&#8217;s leading producers of heavy-diesel engines (9-16 liter).  The Group also provides complete solutions for financing and service.  The Volvo Group, which employs nearly 118,000 people, has production facilities in 19 countries and sells their products in more than 180 markets.  Volvo Group sales for 2011 amounted to $47.8 billion.  The Volvo Group is a publicly-held company headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.  Volvo Shares are listed on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange and are traded OTC in the U.S. For more information about MVASIST AND ASIST, visit <a href="http://www.macktrucks.com" title="www.macktrucks.com">www.macktrucks.com</a> and <a href="http://www.volvotrucks.us.com" title="www.volvotrucks.us.com">www.volvotrucks.us.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Unique capability puts information for making more effective equipment and maintenance decisions in the right place at the right time</i></p>
<p><strong>Glen Allen, Virginia/Tampa, Florida – February 20, 2012</strong> – Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced web-based technology designed to connect fleet managers with internal and external service locations, today announced at the Technology &#038; Maintenance Council 2012 Annual Meeting &#038; Exhibition a new, Service Index for fleet users of the Decisiv Service Management Platform. Developed by Decisiv’s Consulting and Business Intelligence Group, the Service Index tracks downtime for equipment, enabling trucking operations to benchmark operations and make more informed and effective decisions to enhance equipment utilization and lower costs.</p>
<p>“Fleets continue to experience an exponential increase in maintenance costs,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “The new Decisiv Service Index can drill down into data on service networks and practices. It can define, anticipate, track and assess sources of downtime, and foster communication that leads to proactive solutions. The index can help determine why costs are high or productivity and utilization are low, compare a fleet’s maintenance programs to others in the industry, and reinforce the value of high performing equipment and service providers.”</p>
<p>The Decisiv Service Index incorporates a Downtime Clock that codes each service event by electronically time stamping the process and tracking the progress of outside vendors and internal shops handling planned or unplanned maintenance, and all types of repairs. This information can be used to develop an objective scale that tracks downtime and compares the performance of service vendors and locations, in-house shops, technicians, and vehicles by OEM, group or type, and system and component specifications.</p>
<p>“The Decisiv Service Index leads to more effective management of service and repair events by addressing the impact of downtime on maintenance and operating costs, equipment decisions, and driver retention and customer satisfaction,” said Jack Porter, senior consultant at Decisiv. “Our Consulting and Business Intelligence Group, which works closely with our fleet customers, developed the index by working with data in the Decisiv Service Management Platform. As a result, the Service Index uses timely and valuable information to provide a means of evaluating maintenance programs and practices, and addressing operational methods and business solution needs.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Adds staff to meet growing demand for its Service Management Platform</em></p>
<p><strong>Glen Allen, Virginia – November 28, 2011 –</strong> Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced web-based technology designed to connect fleet managers with internal and external service locations, today announced that continued growth in fleet usage of the Decisiv Service Management Platform has brought the number of assets loaded onto the platform to 150,000. Currently, Decisiv has 175 fleets and more than 500 service locations on the platform. Growing demand has also enabled the company to expand its staff.</p>
<p>“The unified in-context communications capability of the Decisiv Service Management Platform means fleet, service location, mobile service and OEM call center personnel can all access and respond to the same information about a service event at the same time,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “The open, flexible nature of the platform is providing a solution for hundreds of fleets and resulting in a steady and rapidly growing number of assets being added to the platform on a regular basis.”</p>
<p>To meet the needs of its growing customer base, Decisiv has added to its development and support staffs. In addition, Jack Phelps has become the newest member of the company’s Fleet Business Development team and is now serving as Central Region Territory Manager.</p>
<p>Phelps was most recently the Director of Service Parts Operations for Autocar, a manufacturer of Class 8, severe service, low cab forward truck chassis. Previously he was Director of Fixed Operations at Pozzo Truck Center in Gary, Indiana, a Mack, Volvo, and Mitsubishi truck dealer where he was responsible for all parts and service operations. Earlier in his career Phelps held management roles at Transcom USA, a 100 location, heavy-duty aftermarket truck and trailer parts distributor and repair service provider, and he successfully built and ran Phelps Holding Company, a parts distribution, manufacturing, rebuilding and repair service organization with 11 locations in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.</p>
<p>On an industry level, Phelps has been a member of the Board of Directors and served as president of the Council of Fleet Specialists (CFS) and the Service Specialists Association (SSA). He also served as a board member of the Heavy Duty Distributors Association (HDDA) and the Automotive Parts Rebuilders Association (APRA).</p>
<p>“I had early experience with the Decisiv platform at a truck dealership and knew it was a valuable tool for fleets and service locations,” Phelps said. “With the evolution of the platform into a comprehensive management and communications solution, the platform has become a true game changing technology. When I decided to use my experience to help develop and grow a company that helps fleets and service locations, Decisiv topped my list.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Service Management Scorecard improves customer satisfaction</strong></p>
<p><strong>Glen Allen, Virginia – September 23, 2011 –</strong> Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced web-based technology designed to connect fleet managers with internal and external service locations, has introduced the Decisiv Service Management Scorecard. Designed for service location and fleet users of the Decisiv Service Management Platform (DSMP), the scorecard is a highly effective tool for managing the performance of service personnel.</p>
<p>“The Decisiv Service Management Scorecard focuses on the people involved in the service management process, including service advisors and managers, shop foremen and breakdown managers,” said Pete Russo, vice president, Professional Services and Customer Support at Decisiv. “The scorecard helps improve performance by providing objective measures of key indicators directly related to customer satisfaction. This tool is already proving very valuable to fleets and service locations across the numerous networks that use the DSMP.”</p>
<p>Decisiv’s Service Management Scorecard measures performance in four areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Communication – Are fleet and service      location personnel communicating via the DSMP about service events?</li>
<li>Use of eFolder – Are fleet and service      location personnel attaching all documentation about a service event,      making it visible in the DSMP?</li>
<li>Fleet Requests – Are fleet and service      location personnel sending service requests to service locations, and are      service locations accepting these service requests via the DSMP?</li>
<li>Responsiveness – Are fleet and service      location personnel responding to requests in the DSMP?</li>
</ul>
<p>The Decisiv Service Management Scorecard provides measures on a monthly basis (as a percentage of the total number of service events) at multiple levels. For fleets, performance is measured by terminal or sub-fleet, by person, such as terminal managers, fleet managers or breakdown managers, or by internal and external service location. For service locations, the scorecard measures the performance of a service network, dealer or distributor group, or individual service location, by person or shift, such as service managers, service advisors, shop foremen, day shift, night shift, or by fleet customer. Benchmarking data can also be provided for a specific group, against best-in-class peers, or compared to a national or group average.</p>
<p>Decisiv also offers a range of consulting, training and support services to fleets and service providers interested in rapid improvement of their performance scores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ready integration of telematics devices and a scope of applications greatly simplify the service management process</strong></p>
<p><strong>Glen Allen, Virginia – May 18, 2011–</strong> Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced technology that connects fleet managers with internal and external service locations, today announced that it has expanded the capabilities of the Decisiv Service Management Platform (DSMP) to more readily integrate telematics devices and a growing and broad scope of applications from third party developers.</p>
<p>“Service locations and fleet managers are inundated with information from multiple portals, web sites and information sources,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “With today’s solutions, silos of data and systems are now web-based. The technology may be different but the result is the same.  By partnering with a broad and growing ecosystem of partners, and by seamlessly integrating with third party and OEM applications, including accessing real time information from telematics devices, Decisiv’s DSMP provides an in-context service initiation and management solution that greatly simplifies the service management process.”</p>
<p>Decisiv has enabled DSMP to provide real-time alerts and information from telematics devices. Included are location, mileage, engine hours, fault code and other relevant data, which is then used in the platform to open service events and initiate requests to service locations. In addition, telematics driven in-context information is used to trigger repair and maintenance operations, and to populate the platform’s date/time stamped electronic folder with fault codes and vehicle information so it can be attached to a service event. The Decisiv DSMP electronic folder also includes alerts and responses, photos and documents, estimates and invoices, and the results of truck, tractor and trailer inspections.</p>
<p>For application providers, Decisiv has developed integration guidelines to exchange real time information to and from third party and OEM systems, including warranty information, recalls and service bulletins, as well as access to parts catalogs. Decisiv has also defined integration points to support payment processing and accounting systems.</p>
<p>Decisiv continues to add to its specifications for accessing and receiving information from telematics devices, third party and OEM applications, and works with its partners to test and deploy points of integration so DSMP users can benefit from seamless integration with those applications.</p>
<p>Decisiv’s cloud based service management platform, unified communications capabilities and extensive ecosystem of integration partners is redefining the way service is managed to the benefit of its partners and fleet customers.</p>
