MINNEAPOLIS, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XATA Corporation (Nasdaq: XATA), a leader in fleet optimization software and services, today announced that Winn-Dixie will use XATA's XATANET solution and fleet management applications to optimize its delivery fleet, which serves the grocer's 515 stores located throughout the southeastern United States.

XATA will help Winn-Dixie further reduce its operating costs by leveraging XATANET's extensive fleet reporting capabilities for increased real-time and trending visibility. In addition, fleet managers and drivers will have easy access to fleet information and product delivery data through the use of XATANET, which will run on Motorola MC75 handheld devices provided by Stratix.

"The product's functionality as well as the insight we will gain from our fleet were key factors in our decision-making process."

"We think that actionable data and Fleet Performance Management reporting is crucial for fleet management technology, and we're confident that Winn-Dixie will benefit from the applications and flexibility we've built into our technology," said David Gagne, executive vice president, field operations, XATA Corporation.
