Technology news and briefs for the week of Feb. 26, 2023:
Toll payment and management solutions provider Bestpass Inc. has partnered with CDL legal protection services provider Open Road Drivers Plan (ORDP) to expand its offering for fleets and owner operators.
ORDP assists truck drivers and fleets with legal protection by connecting drivers with local licensed attorneys if they receive a traffic citation. Attorney fees, bond or bail postings, and appeal fees are covered with an ORDP membership plan.
Through this partnership with ORDP, Bestpass customers will have integrated access to ORDP services through their Bestpass account. Bestpass customers that sign up for ORDP, or existing ORDP customers that add Bestpass for toll management services, will have a bundled monthly payment with special pricing available through their Bestpass account. With this integration, Bestpass will provide additional customer support for customers managing their ORDP membership plan or assistance uploading citations.
This partnership is part of Bestpass’s goal to expand its product offerings to broaden its network of critical fleet and driver management services beyond toll management.
HyperTrack, an API platform for builders who are developing technology for on-demand labor, field work and delivery, has added new features to its last-mile logistics platform, including a new Logistics Map that provides granular insight into the entire order fulfillment process and significant enhancements to its Orders API and driver app development kit (SDK).
