The interface will provide customers using both systems with a seamless integration for two-way communications between dispatchers and drivers, along with real-time GPS-based location, movement, and mileage data.
The companies said the integration will allow for real-time communication and data sharing for jobs. Load offers and all associated data created in TruckMate can be sent directly to the driver via Teletrac Fleet Director without the need of any data re-entry, and Fleet Directory can instantly confirm arrivals, departures and load details. These messages are presented within TruckMate so the dispatcher can update all documentation such as freight bills.
Every update from the driver is accompanied by GPS position, mileage and movement data, allowing customers to track the full package in real-time.
