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

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.

Drivewyze Safety+: Proactive Driver Alerts Welcome in a New Era in Safety

DriveWyze Safety plus

Making the Job of Driving Easier, Safer, and Less Stressful

In a world where technology is ever changing, Pedigree Technologies and Drivewyze are making the job of driving a little bit easier, a little bit safer, and a little less stressful.  And it’s giving fleet and safety managers vital information to help drivers on all fronts.

It’s called Drivewyze Safety+ — the industry’s first proactive driver safety management platform. Unlike dash cams and telematics-based safety systems, which report on driver behavior after the fact, Drivewyze Safety+ helps prevent the behavior from happening in the first place. It’s a breakthrough in driver behavior modification.

Drivewyze Safety+ builds off Drivewyze’s popular Safety Notifications and is embedded in your Pedigree Technologies ELD for easy activation — no extra hardware required! It gives drivers safety alerts prior to an upcoming danger area and even lets a fleet set their own custom location-based alerts. Creating a custom alert is easy, and once you do it’ll automatically display to drivers when they reach that location – be it a low bridge, risky curve, or your own yard.

It’s an entirely new way of thinking and managing drivers when it comes to safety. It can help prevent speeding infractions by warning a driver on an upcoming ‘high infraction zone,’ provide an alert for an upcoming high rollover corner, even help with safety alerts down mountain passes. And, at the end of the day, Drivewyze Safety+ even lets your drivers know the number of parking spaces available at an upcoming rest area in select states.

This quick demo takes you inside the platform to show you how it works:

Here’s What’s Included with Safety+

DriveWyze ZonesThanks to our relationship with state, provincial and safety agencies, we’re able to mine data, and understand where trouble spots reside. And, where parking safe havens are with the number of parking spots available.

We’ve identified ‘speed violation zones’ based on cumulative citation history. Safety+ gives drivers that are driving too fast in known high citation areas an alert to slow down – averting a possible speeding ticket, or worse yet, an accident. Need to park for the night? Drivewyze Safety+ helps drivers by providing dynamic parking alerts in select states. In-cab messaging gives the actual number of parking spots available, in real-time, so drivers can make the decision to continue on to the rest area, or look for other alternative parking.

But, best of all, fleets can develop their own custom zones. Have a certain area that you don’t want drivers entering, or known areas that have caused accidents, fender-benders, or speeding tickets within your fleet? Want to remind drivers about driving restrictions when entering yards?  Simply tag each area by GPS location in the easy-to-use Drivewyze Hub and your alerts will display to drivers when they reach your set location.  You have complete control over in-cab driver messaging.

Safety+ also includes other alerts that Drivewyze pioneered, like high rollover, low bridges, and mountain corridors (giving notifications to use low gears, check brakes…while also providing alerts on upcoming runaway ramps).

Data that Provides Insight

The beauty of Drivewyze Safety+ is it generates data-rich information that can be mined and put to use to further your safety program. You can drill down to see how a particular driver is reacting to the safety notifications, plus review the aggregate – seeing how your entire driver pool is complying. It can serve as a great proactive driver coaching platform, further supporting programs that are already in place.

Are your drivers slowing down when alerts come on? How is that trending? Who are your best performers? Who needs some coaching? All this data and more is readily available within your fleet dashboard on the Drivewyze Hub.

Information from Safety+ can merge into other programs you might have thanks to our full set of reporting APIs for data integration.

Protect Against Nuclear Verdicts

Combined, this data shows you are taking the steps needed to make your drivers safer — something insurance agencies and the courts scrutinize. Insurance providers always look to insure companies that are proactive in safety. And, if there is litigation against your company for an incident, the best protection is to have a documented program that shows you are giving your drivers the tools to be safe on the road. Don’t be held liable; avoid nuclear verdicts.

Does it All Work?

DriveWyze 17% ReductionWe’ve identified and location-based tagged more than 2,500 high-risk areas that typically give truckers problems, with more sites being added each month.

And, yes, the alerts are proven to modify behavior. With our proactive speed alerts, we are seeing a 27% reduction in speeding events (for those truckers going at least 5 mph over the speed limit).

Our rollover data is also compelling. In a two-year study with a major trucking company involving thousands of trucks, alerts for high rollover curves resulted in speeds being reduced by 17%.  That’s important. Data shows that the top speeders in rollover zones are 400% more likely to be in an accident than their peers.

Reminders Make a Difference

The name of the game in trucking is being safe — for your driver, and the motoring public. Proactive safety alerts from Drivewyze give your drivers a quick reminder that a danger zone is coming up….or that a safe place to park is nearing and there are spots available. There is an old saying that knowledge is power. And, with Drivewyze Safety+ you now have the power to make your drivers safer.
