- Real-time alarms sent to your team (fuel level, temperature changes, unit breakdowns) allow you to react immediately.
- Remote control of the trailer: turn trailer on and off, set and control temperatures from your desk.
- Access to valuable trailer data that allows you to analyze run-time, engine hours, down-time, trailer route, temperature changes, and more! This enables you to effectively improve the efficiency of your fleet.
- Customize your alerts. Choose email or text and select your staff who need to receive these alerts.
- Continuous Training – Personalized, Ongoing and Free! Count on PLM to keep training your team as your staff and business grows.
Track more than just your trailer; track your product.
Your trailer and the products it carries are the most valuable assets your company hauls. Real-time visibility into your fleet allows you to track your trailers to determine when equipment is out of a specific territory, reduce theft, monitor the temperature of the products while enroute to minimize product loss. In addition, PLM’s dedicated customer solutions team offers a complete suite of reports to maintain your fleet. Ask about PLM TrustLink® for our sophisticated track and trace technology.
Reports & Analysis Case Study: Engine operation monitoring lowers weekly fuel spend
Problem: A visit to the customer’s distribution center revealed that the trailers’ mode of engine operation was not consistent across the fleet despite all the trailers hauling the same product. This resulted in excessive fuel burn with no line of site to measure and control the costs.
Our Solution: Utilize PLM’s telematics reporting hub to track each trailer by location and provide aggregated summary data to visualize centrally areas of improvement.
Customer Savings: Implementing PLM’s plan, the customer’s continuous run would decrease from 60% at its peak to under 10% within 4 months for a potential savings of $498,000.
