TransAm turns to Isaac for telematics technology
TransAm Trucking, a refrigerated transporter based in Olathe, Kansas, plans to install Isaac Instruments’ data-driven electronic logging devices (ELDs) and driver-centric telematics technology across its fleet.
The company turned to Isaac for greater system reliability and stronger technical support, according to Isaac. Unplanned downtime due to technical issues can impact driver satisfaction and cause operational delays, especially for a company like TransAm, which traditionally maintained a “lean” IT and back-office staff.
By partnering with Isaac, TransAm now has a single tech partner to handle hardware, customization, maintenance, and platform upgrades.
“TransAm strives to offer drivers the best opportunity for success and provide the foundation to build a lasting career with the company,” Murray Droescher, TransAm president, said in a news release. “We look forward to working with Isaac to provide an elevated workflow experience for our drivers, and further establish our reputation as a leader in safety and innovation.”
Isaac recently completed its annual ISO 27001 surveillance audit, and independent auditors reported zero “non-conformities” during the process, the company reported. In 2022, an accredited certification body granted Isaac certification for ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management.
“It was important for TransAm to select a telematics partner with a robust security posture,” said Rhonda McFarland, TransAm IT director. “Isaac’s efforts show how serious they are about protecting their fleet clients from current and future cybersecurity threats.”
Another limitation of TransAm’s previous system was that drivers had to use their personal cell phones to scan critical documents. With the Isaac platform, drivers can quickly scan documents using the Isaac tablet, speeding up the billing process.
“We’re pleased that TransAm has selected Isaac as their technology partner,” said Jacques DeLarochelliere, Isaac CEO and co-founder. “TransAm’s impressive safety record and vision for more efficient and sustainable shipping aligns well with our mission at Isaac.”
