ENCOMPASS® ELD vs Orion eLog NGL

The J. J. Keller® Encompass® ELD app is the industry’s most simple, flexible and affordable driver electronic log. Formerly known as KellerMobile, this patented ELD mandate-compliant solution is used by commercial motor vehicle drivers to electronically capture hours-of-service duty status information, replacing the driver’s paper log book. The app uses a driver-friendly interface to present hours-of-service data to drivers, helping them optimize their on-duty and driving hours and reduce the risk of violations. The solution works with class 1-8 vehicles and offers many industry and state-specific HOS rulesets, accommodating exempt, non-regulated, and team drivers. The Encompass® ELD app is compliant with ELD (Part 395 Subpart B and Part 395 Appendix) rules and is listed on the FMCSA ELD registry. The Encompass® ELD app is part of the J. J. Keller® Encompass® Fleet Management System, which uses the J. J. Keller® electronic logging device and the Encompass® back office portal. HOW DOES IT WORK: Hours-of-service and telematics data is captured via a hardline adapter from the engine’s diagnostic port into the ELD hardware. The hardware continuously records and stores engine data. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth from the hardware to the Encompass® ELD application on drivers’ iPhone® or iPad® devices. Hours-of-service data and alerts are presented to the drivers in real time using compliance rulesets determined by the company. Data from the iPhone® or iPad® device is transmitted via cellular connection to the Encompass® online back office portal for hours-of-service auditing, reporting and recordkeeping. APP FEATURES: MANDATE-COMPLIANT ELD – Solution is compliant with the final FMCSA mandate. Regulatory and technology updates are delivered over-the-air and require no hardware swap outs. HOS COMPLIANCE ALERTS - App continuously checks drivers’ hours against the current DOT hours-of-service rules and company rulesets, and presents alerts to drivers of impending violations. HOS RULE SETS – App supports state and industry rulesets, including US 60/70, US and Texas Oil Field, Canadian Cycle 1 & 2, US Construction, 100 & 150 Air-Mile Exempt, and more. ROADSIDE INSPECTION MODE – Supports ELD requirements for roadside inspection protocol, including mobile display and Telematics Data Transfer method. ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INSPECTIONS (EDVIRs) – Driver-friendly interface supports pre- and post-trip inspection process, customized criteria, and photo capture of defects. MOBILE MESSAGES – Allows for the quick and efficient exchange of information between the back office and drivers. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY - Supports team driving, hyrail, personal conveyance, exempt logging, border crossing, and more. FLEXIBILITY – App can be used with the J. J. Keller® Compliance Tablet™ or the driver’s own smart device. DOT DRIVER AND VEHICLE COMPLIANCE RECORDKEEPING – Includes Encompass back-office DOT driver and vehicle compliance recordkeeping features for driver qualification, alcohol and drug program management, hiring, and more. DEDICATED DRIVER SUPPORT – Drivers receive 24/7 technical support and Roadside Inspection assistance. A dedicated support team ensures quick resolution on technical issues. DEDICATED COMPANY SUPPORT – Users receive complimentary amenities, including DataQs Challenge Service; DOT Expert Help from our subject-matter experts; regulatory webcasts; an online support site with training videos, FAQs, user guides; and an online training library (Spring 2020). OPTIONAL ADD-ON SOLUTIONS – Options include Dash Cam Pro, performance management, and navigation. COMPLIANCE EXPERTISE - This patented technology was developed by the industry’s leader in regulatory compliance and driver logging since 1953 and is covered by U.S. patents and patents pending.

Orion eLog NGL is a cross-platform mobile application that provides a federally certified Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) compliant Electronic Logging Device (ELD) system. Orion eLog NGL is a solution designed to automatically record a commercial driver's Hours of Service (HOS) and maintain federal regulatory compliance. The system electronically synchronizes with a vehicle's engine control module (ECM) to capture driving time, engine hours, vehicle movement, miles traveled, and vehicle identification information without requiring manual entry by the driver. Orion eLog NGL is competitively differentiated from other available systems in that it additionally provides a full-suite of diagnostic parameters used as a real-time Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) for vehicles. By pulling and analyzing PGN/SPN CANbus data, Orion eLog NGL offers predictive analytics for maintenance and also validates mechanics’ assessments of problems. Orion eLog NGL can interface with any open and FMCSA-approved devices. However, for full functionality, it is recommended to use ELD hardware available as XCOM5G and XCOM5GC. In addition, for simultaneous trailer or container freight and security management, Orion eLog NGL is compatible with XSEN5G, which offers an interface to over 1,000 sensors. The system automatically records duty status changes, including Off-Duty, Sleeper Berth, Driving, and On-Duty Not Driving activities, while maintaining a secure and auditable electronic record of duty status (RODS). The platform provides real-time visibility into driver availability, remaining drive time, rest break requirements, and compliance status, enabling fleet operators to improve dispatch planning while reducing the risk of Hours of Service violations. In addition to regulatory compliance, the system supports roadside inspections by providing standardized electronic data transfer capabilities through telematics and local transfer methods approved by FMCSA. The solution maintains tamper-resistant records, stores required historical data, and generates compliance reports for drivers, carriers, safety managers, and enforcement personnel. Advanced ELD platforms often integrate with transportation management systems, fleet maintenance applications, dispatch systems, GPS tracking, vehicle telematics, driver qualification files, and safety management programs. These integrated capabilities provide carriers with enhanced operational intelligence, including driver utilization, fleet productivity, route performance, vehicle diagnostics, maintenance alerts, and real-time fleet visibility. By automating Hours of Service tracking and regulatory reporting, an FMCSA-compliant ELD system reduces administrative burden, improves operational efficiency, enhances driver safety, minimizes compliance risks, and supports more effective fleet management across commercial transportation operations.
