TalkBeam for Fleets, delivery & transportation
TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects dispatchers and drivers across town or across the state, hands-free through CarPlay or a headset, with a live driver map, crash detection and a searchable record of every call.
CH 01The problem
Two-way radios stop at the edge of the repeater, and phone calls reach one driver at a time.
Drivers on longer routes fall off the radio, and dispatch switches to phone calls.
With TalkBeam
TalkBeam runs over cellular data, so a driver 200 miles out is on the same channel as the yard.
A road closure or a schedule change means calling every driver.
With TalkBeam
An all-call reaches every driver at once, and drivers reply on the channel so dispatch hears who copied.
A driver reaching for the phone to answer dispatch is a safety problem.
With TalkBeam
TalkBeam works through CarPlay and headsets, and Hybrid mode opens the mic with one tap, so the phone stays mounted.
Dispatch asks for locations before it can reroute a job.
With TalkBeam
The live map shows drivers who are sharing their location, so dispatch picks the closest truck.
A driver in a collision may not be able to call for help.
With TalkBeam
Crash detection asks “Are you OK?” and alerts supervisors with the location if the driver doesn’t answer within 30 seconds.
Storms, flooding and winter weather hit drivers first.
With TalkBeam
Automated broadcasts read weather warnings near your sites or near your drivers aloud on the channel.
CH 02A day on TalkBeam
A regional delivery fleet runs 30 drivers and two dispatchers on TalkBeam Enterprise. Drivers talk through CarPlay.
When a customer asks why a delivery ran late, dispatch searches “Greenville” and has a time-stamped answer.
Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.
All drivers: I-40 eastbound is closed at exit 212. Take US-70 until further notice.
Truck 14 copies, taking 70.
Truck 9, I’m already past it. Clear on my end.
Flash Flood Warning near Jordan until 2 PM. Turn around at flooded roads; never drive through them.
Jordan, hold at the Greenville depot until the warning ends. I’ll move your last two stops.
Copy, holding at Greenville.
CH 03What you get
Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.
A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.
Supervisors cut through the chatter mid-sentence, or reach every channel at once with one hold.
Talk through AirPods, a Bluetooth or wired headset, Ray-Ban or Oakley Meta glasses, Apple Watch, CarPlay or the phone itself.
See everyone who’s sharing their location on one map, and who’s talking right now.
When a phone detects a crash or a fall with no movement and nobody answers “Are you OK?”, supervisors get an alert with the location.
Severe weather warnings, thunderstorms, earthquakes, air quality and extreme heat near your sites or crews, read aloud on your channels automatically.
Every transmission becomes text with a time and a name, so anyone can scroll back or search what was said.
Private one-to-one talk for the conversation that shouldn’t go to the whole channel, still kept in company transcripts.
Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.

In our 2½-minute demo, a fictional ambulance company dispatches with an all-call, reroutes a crew over private direct talk, hears a flood warning read aloud in every unit and reviews it all in the transcripts. Every feature in it is real.

CH 06FAQ
For most fleets, yes. Push-to-talk over cellular data works anywhere drivers have signal, with no repeaters or radio licenses to maintain. Where there’s no cellular coverage, TalkBeam can’t connect until the phone has signal again.
Yes. Drivers get a Talk grid on the car’s screen and tap a channel to talk, with the channel list and crew alongside.
Yes, for drivers sharing their location on a company channel. Location sharing is per channel, and drivers can see when it’s on.
With crash detection turned on (Enterprise), the phone asks “Are you OK?” and counts down 30 seconds. If the driver doesn’t answer, supervisors get an alert with the location. TalkBeam doesn’t call 911.
Rules on phone use while driving vary by state and country, and there are extra rules for commercial drivers. TalkBeam is designed to be used hands-free through CarPlay or a headset with the phone mounted; follow your company policy and local law.
Teams is $8 per driver per month, or $6 billed yearly, for 5 to 50 people. Enterprise is $15 per person per month billed yearly, from 25 people.
