We hosted our 1st ever tech summit in conjunction with Geotab on Thursday, July 15th at the Topgolf near Dallas. It was a great way to connect with fleet customers and partners to discuss the state of the union with trucking and present innovative technology solutions for the future. What we have noticed and what customers have told us is you want options with technology.
When Telematics was first available you were required to purchase expensive satellite-based systems costing upwards of $3,000
Now fleets want to have options to connect solutions and integrate the best in class products that fit your business. That is why Add On Systems has created a Telematics business unit to assist our clients.
The driver recruiting and retention battle is currently the most challenging we have see in over two decades. Keeping your drivers rolling and customers happy is challenging. We do believe many of the new solutions we are working with can help.
Geotab has approximately 2.4 million devices on the network and with approximately 500 solution partners in their marketplace, there is an ecosystem much like the Apple App Store and Google Play store that offer solutions to enhance your business.
We are impressed with the focus on engineering and the truckload market that Geotab addresses. Open APIs allow Add On Systems to help clients integrate data along with the powerful reporting tools available with Geotab to take business intelligence to a new level.
Eleos is another partner AOS is working closely with for driver workflow. Their open platform enables customers to develop a custom-fit solution for their drivers, specific subsets of drivers, a powerful video platform for driver communications, training, and class 8 specific navigation. The best news, you don’t have to be a programmer to make changes to the platform or we can assist fleet customers’ I.T. staff’s to make required changes.

Drivewyze is another partner we are working with the integrates with Geotab and other telematics solutions that do not require a transponder in the tractor for weigh station bypass and other safety notifications. With over 800 bypass locations in 47 states. This solution provides a powerful ROI for finance and keeps drivers happy!
Netradyne is one of the most sophisticated video-based telematics solutions now available. Our mission is to transform road and fleet safety by using advanced vision technology to change the way drivers interact with the road around them, therefore creating safer roadways for today and smarter roadways for tomorrow. If “Nuclear Verdicts” are keeping you up at night let’s start the conversation and let us connect you with the team at Netradyne for a review. Even if you have an existing camera solution this is like nothing else currently available and captures much longer video to improve the driver experience not just used as a “crash recorder” we want to prevent crashes… and help return drivers safely to their families.
Uptake Fleet leverages technology based on AI to maximize asset reliability and availability with data-driven insights that inform preventive and predictive maintenance.
Optimize Inventory Only buy the parts you’ll need. Ensure you’ll have the right inventory available at the right time based on anticipated work scenarios.
