A partnership with Geotab enables Navistar International customers to add Geotab fleet-management through Navistar’s factory-installed telematics device.
Geotab specializes in IoT and connected transportation and has more than 2 million vehicles connected to its fleet management platform, according to a press release announcing the move.
According to Navistar, it launched its OnCommand Connection (OCC)—an open-architecture, all-makes remote diagnostics product—in partnership with telematics service providers (TSPs). It is working with select TSPs to streamline fleet management solutions for customers, regardless of provider, the company said in the release.
“Geotab is one of the world’s largest telematics outfits committed to optimizing fleet management, and we’re thrilled to partner with them and provide world-class customer solutions around how fleets conduct business,” said Chintan Sopariwala, VP aftersales operations and connected vehicle, in a prepared statement.
Using the factory-installed telematics device, any new International truck can enroll in the Geotab solution, which includes electronic logging device and hours of service compliance software, without the installation of additional hardware.
“Our partnership with Navistar enables customers to experience increased value through a robust set of accessible solutions that Geotab offers through the convenience of a factory-installed device,” said Colin Sutherland, EVP of sales and marketing for Geotab, in a statement. “Together, we’re proud to offer customers a seamless experience for accessing remote diagnostics and fleet management solutions to help keep International trucks running safely at the lowest cost per mile.”
“Navistar’s strategy to collaborate with select TSPs for ‘outbound’ integrations amplifies the power of OCC, making it a gamechanger for our customers,” said Friedrich Baumann, president, aftersales and alliance management for Navistar, in a statement. “The combination of Geotab’s expert technology integrations with Navistar’s connected vehicle solutions further simplifies the maintenance and operation of our customers’ fleets. These partnerships not only drive uptime and lower total cost of ownership, but also seamlessly enhance the overall ownership experience.”
Fleets subscribed to Geotab via Navistar’s factory-installed telematics device will have access to OnCommand Connection’s Advanced Remote Diagnostics solutions and over-the-air programming capabilities for the duration of their Geotab subscription.
