Grassmid Transport Selects ORBCOMM’s Integrated In-Cab and Asset Tracking Solutions for Its Multi-Asset Fleet
04 Mayo 2021 - 8:00AM
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global provider of Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has been selected
by Grassmid Transport Inc. (Grassmid), a premier provider of
truckload carrier services based in Zeeland, MI, to provide its
integrated in-cab and asset tracking solutions to monitor their
fleet of trucks, dry vans and refrigerated trailers. ORBCOMM’s
comprehensive solutions provide wireless connectivity through its
industry-leading hardware and a single, unified Cloud-based
analytics platform for optimal fleet management across multiple
asset classes.
Grassmid hauls products including meat, fruit,
vegetables, water heaters and office furniture, servicing the lower
48 states with lanes of service to the West Coast, Texas, Florida
and the East Coast. They are using ORBCOMM’s in-cab solution to
enhance operational efficiency through increased visibility and
auditing, along with more automated management of their drivers and
trucks. ORBCOMM’s driver-friendly solution delivers GPS fleet
tracking and connects to the truck’s CANbus to seamlessly collect
important data from the engine, brake systems, fuel tanks and more,
providing access to deep analytics and reporting via the ORBCOMM
Platform. By automating hours of service calculations, ORBCOMM
enables Grassmid to comply with the Electronic Logging Device (ELD)
and FMCSA Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. ORBCOMM’s solution
also helps Grassmid improve driver safety by providing live,
on-board driver performance scoring and correcting unsafe driving
behaviors that lead to accidents, fines and higher insurance.
Grassmid can utilize these deep data insights to decrease operating
and maintenance costs and improve productivity through real-time
asset management, reduced risk of fuel loss and scheduled
preventive maintenance.
Leveraging ORBCOMM’s triple play offering,
Grassmid is also using ORBCOMM’s telematics solutions for two-way
temperature monitoring and control, fuel management, maintenance
and logistics services for its refrigerated and dry assets. With
mapping, reports, alerts and exception management, the ORBCOMM
Platform provides the real-time data and business intelligence
needed to help Grassmid increase utilization of its mixed fleet,
gain fuel savings, mitigate product spoilage and ensure compliance
with the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act. With the ORBCOMM
Platform, Grassmid can manage all of their assets from anywhere
through one seamless, comprehensive system.
“We are excited to be able to offer Grassmid our
telematics triple play and meet all of their needs for
cost-effectively tracking and monitoring their trucks, dry vans and
reefers as well as their drivers through one powerful solution,”
said Christian Allred, ORBCOMM’s Executive Vice President and
General Manager of Global Sales. “The next-gen ORBCOMM Platform is
a gamechanger for customers like Grassmid with multi-asset fleets,
who can get advanced data and analytics for every transport asset
class from one provider where and when they need it.”
“ORBCOMM’s solution was hands-down the best fit
for our diverse freight hauling business because now we know what
is happening with every aspect of our operations using one
integrated system,” said Adam Grassmid, Safety and Compliance
Manager for Grassmid Transport Inc. “Since we deployed with
ORBCOMM, we have been able to garner substantial benefits through
improved fleet safety, compliance and customer satisfaction and
have the peace of mind that our dry and refrigerated loads are
delivered reliably, safely and on time.”
