Transportation
Loading
However automated loading becomes, there is always a need for someone on the
ground to verify the way-bill, check vehicle details etc.
A Mobile App enables instant completion. Historically this would be paper based
and entered later via a fixed terminal.
Improved efficiency and accuracy.
Safety
Operators increasingly have to
show compliance with safety
regulations – brake checks, tyre
checks etc.
Vehicle on board telemetry
integrates with in cab tablet,
which automatically reports to the
operator’s vehicle management
system.
Replaces safety cards.
