Transportation & Fleet

DataTrail’s Transportation and Fleet offering is much more than the standard telematics the market has come to understand.

Though value-added reseller (VAR) partnerships, DataTrail provides a platform for the management of your fleet.

Fleet managers are concerned with more than just mileage, engine performance, fuel tax and tire pressure of the vehicle themselves. They need to manage the fleet assets in the truest sense. Through a flexible, searchable hierarchical interface, this is made possible.

Where & When

Tracking has the sense of where the fleet is, but knowing when is equally important. Positions for the individual fleet members are provided on programmed intervals, or on demand. Intervals can also be configurable by position, meaning that the intervals can be more or less regular when the fleet member is close to or approaches key positions in its route.

Remain Alert, Be Alerted

Managing the fleet is made even easier by programming the system to alert the fleet manager by e-mail or other means when the assets in the fleet stray off their designated routes, start or stop moving, or when they approach key locations like the distribution center or warehouse.

Robust reporting is a cornerstone feature of the DataTrail services, delivering to the fleet manager concise and relevant summaries of fleet movements and activities on-demand or at regular intervals.

Beyond the Vehicle

DataTrail and its VAR partners recognize that managing the fleet encompasses more than just the vehicles. For this reason, the DataBroker™ platform treats each vehicle as its own network of related assets. This in turn allows fleet members to be matched (like tractors to trailers) and alerts to be send when improper matches are made or the time at which any match is made.

The holistic approach to a fleet vehicle also enables features such as driver authentication and engine shut-down, and the ability to tie into the position and state of cargo on board.

Optimized

Features aside, fleet managers live in the real world, which is accompanied by real constraints like cost and battery life. DataTrail’s expertise drives it to design services that are optimized against these dimensions, taking into account the capabilities of the available hardware, networks and positioning systems

The end result is a service that provides the right features within the right budgets for its users.
