Geotab CEO Neil Cawse stresses the importance of the company's open platform that gives fleet managers the ability to customize the software options they need to successfully run their businesses.
So it is no surprise that during the Geotab Connect 2020 conference in San Diego, the company announced numerous new integrations and offerings for the Geotab Marketplace.
On Jan. 15, Geotab and Eleos jointly rolled out “Unify,” an integrated solution that offers a fleet management system, driver workflow platform and electronic logging device (ELD).
“Unify is the latest example of Geotab’s mission to provide fleet owners in the heavy-duty truck market with open customizable software and industry-leading hardware that will enable them to maximize productivity, safety and profitability,” said Scott Sutarik, vice president of commercial vehicle solutions at Geotab.
Eleos offers mobile workforce management solutions to help drivers maximize productivity throughout the day. The company is based in Greenville, S.C.
“Unify allows fleet managers to leverage pre-built components to craft a custom mobile app for fleet drivers, giving them the control they want and the flexibility they need,” said Kevin Survance, CEO at Eleos.
Also during the conference, Geotab said that the Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass service is now available on the Geotab Marketplace. Drivewyze helps fleets and drivers save time by providing bypass at more than 800 sites in 47 states and Canadian provinces.
“We are confident that this partnership will help make it easier for safety-focused commercial vehicle operators to access the largest electronic pre-screening and clearance services network in Canada and the United States without the need to install additional equipment in their trucks,” said Brian Heath, president of Drivewyze.
Trimble announced its video intelligence solution is now part of the Geotab Marketplace. This offering includes a two-channel DVR and forward-facing camera, with the option to add a secondary camera.
Separately, Trimble said last week it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Kuebix, a leading transportation management system provider.
Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems announced the addition of Geotab to the list of telematics platforms that can support SafetyDirect.
SafetyDirect is a web portal that combines a video-based driver safety solution with an active safety system. All fleets will have availability to this offering by the middle of this year.
Geotab also announced the availability of the Geotab Integrated Solution for General Motors. The solution allows fleet managers to access their compatible vehicle data within the MyGeotab platform via a factory-fit, GM-engineered embedded OnStar module.
No installation or additional hardware is required to leverage the new offering. “With the Geotab Integrated Solution for GM, compatible fleets will be equipped with advanced telematics tools that provide a deep dive into vehicle information such as fuel usage, vehicle health and driver behavior,” said Sherry Calkins, Geotab’s vice president of strategic partners.
In October, Geotab announced a similar agreement with Ford Motors.
As the event opened on Jan. 14, Geotab unveiled an integration with Lytx, which creates a seamless experience within a single interface, allowing fleet managers to browse video and data from DriveCam event recorders through the Geotab platform.
