Clarience Technologies brand Road Ready, a vertically integrated advanced telematics and smart fleet solutions SaaS provider, will launch its new connectivity platform this week.
The company introduced its IoT solution Fus1on the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition in San Diego on Monday.
The platform will serve as the foundation for Road Ready connectivity solutions as part of the brand’s shift beyond smart trailers toward smart fleets and, ultimately, solutions that provide total visibility into the supply chain.
The platform is designed to accept and integrate API feeds — a standardized approach that allows disparate apps to exchange data between one another at scale — without the extensive programming time required with custom integration. Fus1on is built to accept an infinite number of APIs, each running queries for specific data requested by the Fus1on platform, which helps Fus1ion quickly request, process and display data from multiple sources.
Road Ready imagined a scenario where a typical fleet manager relied on a single source of data that could be analyzed and acted upon in different ways throughout the day, from a critical item checklist that prioritizes overnight issues that would be reviewed at home, to a comprehensive fleet performance dashboard that could be shared in real time with the entire fleet operations team to drive key performance indicators.
“It’s not enough to just gather data and put it out,” said Nada Jiddou, executive vice president and head of connectivity at Clarience and general manager of Road Ready. “That data has to have insight; it has to create wisdom, and it has to create value add in order for them to use the data effectively to drive their operation.”
The platform shares data like fuel efficiency, the state of equipment and productivity of drivers, among other things, in an easily consumable environment, Jiddou said. She said Fus1on takes any device and any dataset and aggregates it and correlates it into a single-pane dashboard and is customizable for individual needs.
