Speed, Savings, Flexibility: Unlock Pedigree and Tranztec Partnership Benefits

Posted by Pedigree Technologies on

A new partnership between Pedigree Technologies and Tranztec allows motor carriers to deploy integrated fleet management systems with greater speed and automation at a lower cost.

Pedigree’s OneView fleet management platform integrates quickly and cost-effectively with leading transportation management systems (TMS) using Tranztec’s cloud-based middleware solution.

This article explores this partnership’s immediate and future benefits, such as enabling your truck and trailer telematics data to move faster and cleaner between equipment assets, drivers, and office systems.

Getting to Know Tranztec

Tranztec Solutions is a Perrysburg, Ohio-based transportation and logistics software provider. Its cloud-based integration platform seamlessly connects TMS solutions with a wide range of fleet management technologies, from ELDs to fuel and fleet payment systems.

The Tranztec platform has over 150 pre-built connectors that map and normalize data exchanges between ELD telematics systems like Pedigree’s OneView and TMS systems from McLeod and Trimble. Technology companies that leverage Tranztec’s middleware platform can quickly and affordably deliver integrated solutions to fleets that solve complex industry challenges.

Be the First in Line

When evaluating new technology, fleets often ask, “Will this solution integrate with my TMS?” If the integration is unavailable today, fleets are left with two bad choices: 1) Limited options, or 2) Waiting for a TMS provider to deliver an integration.

Tranztec’s middleware solution puts you immediately at the front of the line. The pre-built integrations allow you to capitalize on cutting-edge technology quickly and affordably.

The platform gets real-time asset locations, driver hours, and other important details from Pedigree’s OneView platform flowing directly into your TMS. Likewise, data from your TMS, such as dispatch assignments and messages, flow bi-directionally to OneView’s mobile driver application.

Pedigree’s integrated ELD and telematics solution allows users on the frontlines and in the C-suite to work from their native TMS to maximize efficiency and make better decisions, avoiding the time-wasting exercise of toggling between screens.

Access the Ecosystem

Besides enjoying cost and speed advantages, fleets benefit from the Tranztec partnership by accessing an integrated solution ecosystem to support their evolving needs. Fleets can add more capabilities quickly and affordably to their TMS, such as tools from Pedigree Technologies, like Dash Cameras, to increase operational visibility and real-time alerting.

When fleets do not use a middleware solution, the integrations between their TMS and fleet management systems are proprietary connections. The integrations cannot be re-used if you decide to switch your TMS platform or change your ELD or trailer tracking system, for example. With the Tranztec platform, all your connections are portable, giving you full control over your data and technology.

By leveraging Tranztec’s integration platform, Pedigree offers faster, more seamless deployment of smart truck and trailer technology solutions to increase your operational speed and flexibility, keeping you ahead in this fast-paced industry. The partnership also streamlines your access to other integrated fleet management solutions.

Let’s talk if you have further questions about this partnership’s cost and time-saving advantages.

The Power of a SmartSite

Transform Your Mixed Fleet Operations with Smart Technologies

Smart technologies are revolutionizing the way projects are managed and executed for job sites in a variety of industries. Embracing a seamless integration of advanced digital solutions, companies are now unlocking a new era of efficiency, productivity, and safety. From real-time asset tracking and automated equipment management to intelligent worker monitoring, this transformative use of smart technology is reshaping the job site/yard landscape, creating SmartSites.

What is a SmartSite?

A SmartSite utilizes cutting-edge technologies and sensors to manage the operations and assets on a job site or in a yard across industries, including construction, oil and gas, equipment rental, and manufacturing. SmartSite sensors can monitor both low-cost Bluetooth tags and cellular trackers, providing back-office visibility into all assets and equipment, not just ones equipped with GPS. Integrating the sensors in your yard or site is simple because the Bluetooth signals can be picked up by trackers installed in vehicles, smart phones, and no-install solar gateways. The data collected from sensors is used to streamline operations, increase productivity, reduce costs, minimize risks, and improve the overall project outcome. These sensors are easy-to-install and cost-effect, transforming manual processes of managing asset-intensive yards or sites into one uniformed machine.

SmartSite Key Features

Key advantages of implementing smart technologies at your location

Inventory Visibility

Manual on-site inventory practices are time-consuming and prone to human error. By using GPS devices and Bluetooth tags within your job site or construction yard, you can mitigate these challenges. A SmartSite can not only confirm if the vehicle, asset, or attachment is available for use, but can help find its location. This allows you to make informed decisions by knowing which vehicles, equipment, and attachments are entering, leaving, and remaining on site.

Yard Move Status

By using the yard move status, drivers can avoid inaccurately inflating their driving time logs and only counts against your On Duty, Not Driving time.

Asset Utilization

Optimizing equipment utilization is crucial for maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing costs. Some simple SmartSite solutions can automatically sense motion, vibration, or on/off triggers to determine usage while other devices can gather sophisticated idling, fuel consumption, and diagnostic trouble code data. By analyzing asset utilization patterns, businesses can identify underutilized equipment, streamline workflows, and make informed decisions about fleet size, maintenance schedules, and resource allocation.

Security

SmartSites use the latest and most discrete GPS trackers and Bluetooth tags making them easier to hide and harder for thieves to detect. If an asset or attachment leaves the site during an unauthorized time, you can be alerted immediately. Simple sensors are used to indicate door and gate access and cameras can be installed to record suspicious movements.

Companies with mixed fleets or asset-intensive operations are using smart technologies to revolutionize their business providing enhanced visibility into their assets and data. SmartSites use a variety of technologies, asset gateways, GPS devices, and Bluetooth tags, to streamline inventory management, reduce manual errors, improve safety conditions for workers, and maximize operational efficiency. With a SmartSite’s advanced technology, businesses gain a competitive advantage by harnessing the power of real-time data and automation in their day-to-day operations.
