Insights
The partnership between Platform Science and SkyBitz to deploy SkyMatch on Virtual Vehicle represents a significant advancement in fleet management technology. This integration addresses a critical pain point in the trucking industry: accurate and efficient tractor-trailer pairing. By leveraging Bluetooth technology and smart logic, SkyMatch streamlines operations, reducing errors associated with manual entry and improving asset utilization.
The impact on fleet efficiency is substantial, as evidenced by Cargo Transporters' experience. With over 1,900 trailers in their fleet, they've seen tangible benefits including zero cargo claims and improved trailer utilization. This suggests potential for significant cost savings and operational improvements across the industry.
From an investor's perspective, this collaboration positions both Platform Science and SkyBitz (AMETEK Telular) favorably in the competitive telematics market. The integration's success with major fleets like C.R. England and Schneider indicates strong market potential and possible revenue growth opportunities.
The SkyMatch integration on Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle platform is a game-changer for fleet operations. Tractor-trailer pairing has long been a logistical challenge, often leading to inefficiencies and errors. This solution not only streamlines the process but also enhances overall fleet visibility and control.
The ability to scale the solution up or down based on needs offers flexibility to fleets of all sizes. This adaptability is important in an industry where operational requirements can fluctuate rapidly. Moreover, the background operation of SkyMatch on in-cab tablets minimizes driver distraction, addressing a key safety concern.
The unified trailer management interface is particularly noteworthy. By combining data from Platform Science and SkyBitz, it reduces administrative overhead and improves decision-making speed. This integration could lead to significant time and cost savings across large-scale operations.
Cargo Transporters uses SkyMatch to improve operations, asset awareness
“Working with SkyBitz to enable their app on Platform Science unlocks a critical way for fleets to leverage their data better, enhance the driver experience, and improve overall fleet efficiency,” said Joe Jumayao, VP of Business Development, Platform Science. “This integration demonstrates the robustness of the Virtual Vehicle platform to provide fleets and partners like SkyBitz with comprehensive options to connect all aspects of the commercial transportation ecosystem.”
“SkyBitz is deeply committed to advancing the transportation industry through innovation and a customer-focused approach,” said Randy Clayton, Division VP, for SkyBitz. “We actively listen to our customers and address their challenges with innovative, effective solutions that are straightforward to implement. Our track record of delivering cutting-edge and impactful solutions underscores this commitment. Our partnership with leader Platform Science further exemplifies our dedication to driving the industry forward.”
SkyBitz’s SkyMatch uses smart logic to facilitate quick and accurate tractor-trailer pairing verification through a local Bluetooth network while the SkyMatch app runs in the background on Platform Science’s in-cab tablet. SkyMatch is easy to deploy and scale up or down based on evolving needs.
Cargo Transporters, a SkyBitz and Platform Science customer with more than 1,900 trailers, has improved overall operations and asset awareness since deploying SkyMatch on Virtual Vehicle to its entire fleet. Since then, Cargo Transporters has had no cargo claims, trailer utilization has improved, and errors associated with manual entry have been reduced.
“We know where our assets are at all times, our drivers can find the trailers they need and we can confirm proper asset pairing, as well,” said John Pope, Chairman of Cargo Transporters. “SkyMatch’s integration with Virtual Vehicle combines data from Platform Science and SkyBitz to present a single unified trailer management interface, saving operational and administrative time.”
SkyMatch on Virtual Vehicle is available to current Platform Science Marketplace Partners and will be more broadly available later this year.
Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle is the premier application platform that can unlock all signals at the edge directly on the truck without any aftermarket hardware installation. It is being deployed by many of the world’s largest commercial trucking fleets, including C.R.
