Thermo King is integrating its TracKing Pro telematics data into Geotab’s platform through a new collaboration aimed at providing fleet managers in North America with “unprecedented” near-real-time visibility and control over their cold chain operations.
The integration is expected to strengthen compliance, improve communication, and help with the integrity of temperature-dependent goods such as food and pharmaceuticals during transit, the partners reported.
“Working with Getoab to expand the reach of our industry-leading TracKing Pro telematics offerings helps provide our customers with even greater value through enhanced access to critical refrigeration data and insights,” Dominic Hand, Thermo King VP of digital, said in a news release. “The integration with Geotab’s platform equips fleet managers with a single pane of glass, helping deliver a seamless experience for monitoring all aspects of their operations.”
Key benefits of their collaboration include:
- Near-real-time monitoring: Near-live data feeds provide up-to-the-minute insights into cargo temperature and refrigeration unit performance
- Temperature alerts: Automated alerts notify fleet managers of critical events, such as temperature excursions or equipment malfunctions.
- Two-way communication: Remotely adjust setpoints (where supported) and clear fault codes, enabling proactive issue resolution.
- Increased fleet visibility: A comprehensive view of cold chain operations enhances control and decision-making.
- OEM-sourced data: Direct integration with Thermo King systems increases data accuracy and reliability.
“We are thrilled to work alongside Thermo King to bring this powerful solution to our customers,” said Sabina Martin, Geotab VP of product management. “By combining Thermo King’s TracKing telematics and deep expertise in transport refrigeration with Geotab’s robust telematics platform, we are empowering fleets to optimize their cold chain operations, reduce risks, and improve overall efficiency.”
