Fleet Management Solutions Contract

Transics, a WABCO Company develops and commercializes software, hardware and services for the transport industry fleet operators. The FMS developed by Transics help a transport Company gain a competitive edge with direct and indirect cost savings viz., fuel savings, driving distance saved, driver hours optimized, communication cost savings, regulatory compliance, less staff turnover, and fewer lost drivers leading to greater customer satisfaction.

Under the multi-year contract with Girteka, its fleet of 2,700 trucks will be upgraded using Transics' comprehensive FMS portfolio of products and services. These include advanced TX-SKY™ on-board computers and TX-FLEX™ mobile app connectivity as well as TX-CONNECT™ back-office IT and software integration via the TX-TANGO™ web service platform. The use of TX-SKY onboard computers will provide real-time communication between Girteka's dispatchers and truck drivers, as these computers constantly monitor and collect high quality truck data. The data helps fleet managers get real-time alerts and alarms on vehicle speeds, GeoFences, driving times and activity duration which enables them to plan and monitor advanced route management. The best part of these functions is that they support compliance with European driving and resting time regulations. The TX-SKY also provide information on truck performance and driving style analysis which will encourage economic and ecological driving. The use of TX-FLEX mobile app connectivity offers additional out-of-cabin information support which further enhances driver efficiency.

Girteka will be able to closely monitor and communicate with more vehicles per dispatcher than previously possible with the use of Transics' FMS. The data from the FMS will help Girteka get a clearer picture of its customer supply chain including overall fleet performance, order follow-up guidance, out-of-cab information support, etc.
