BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is
expanding its Internet of Things (IoT) Fleet Management solutions
portfolio as a full-service provider. We're now working to meet the
needs of small business, enterprise and government customers.
We've integrated Geotab's fleet tracking platform with our IoT
platforms to launch a comprehensive solution. AT&T Fleet
Management for Enterprise and AT&T Fleet Management for
Government will help boost productivity, control costs, improve
safety and manage compliance for our customers.
"Geotab's award-winning telematics solution with our IoT
platforms and nationwide data network is a winning combination for
fleets of all sizes. We use it for our own fleet of company
vehicles," said Chris Penrose,
president, Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T. "Now we can help
businesses and government customers look holistically at vehicles,
assets and mobile workers from a single analytics-based
platform."
"We're leveraging the AT&T network and its data analytics
capabilities and embedding Geotab's rigorous organizational data
security measures into each solution," said Neil Cawse, chief executive officer, Geotab.
"Our work together will help make any fleet safer, more productive,
efficient and highly secure."
The Weir Group, a global trucking company, operates in 70
countries. It realizes several benefits from AT&T Fleet
Management for Enterprise. Weir uses the solution to meet industry
compliance regulations, integrate with multiple internal software
systems and improve driver safety and performance.
"Weir must meet many compliance regulations. We specialize in
manufacturing solutions for the mining, oil & gas, power and
industrial industries," said Renae
Whitlock, head of North America Fleet Operations at The Weir
Group. "Using AT&T's Fleet Management solutions helps us ensure
we're meeting the federal Electronic Logging Devices mandate for
hours of service. It also helps us boost the efficiency of our
fleet, lower fuel costs and reduce maintenance costs."
We see the same benefits across our own fleet of more than
80,000 vehicles, one of the largest in the U.S. We can use data
from the solution to track and reduce idling time, optimize
routing, improve mileage, save fuel and, ultimately, reduce carbon
emissions.
The solution is projected to save AT&T more than
$40 million over the next 5
years.
