Fleets began to use mobile communications to provide a way for vehicles to communicate with the back office many years ago. The potential for mobile devices to change the game for fleets is especially large when they are paired with telematics and advanced fleet management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, without reliable, secure transfer of information, the\nmobile revolution in trucking would not be possible. Fleets must turn to\nvendors that can provide a redundant, sturdy system backed by a solid data\ntransfer system, otherwise they may see their investments get caught in an\nendless feedback loop. The question for many operators, however, is how to\nquantify what a mobile platform is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is a Mobile\nPlatform?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the most basic sense, mobile platforms represent hardware\nand software linked up through a common interface or operating system. In most\ncases, the hardware used is represented by a smartphone, tablet or laptop\ncomputer. Whatever form the hardware takes, this is a critical part of the\nsystem. For trucking companies, this platform should allow vehicles and truck\ndrivers to be connected to fleet managers through the mobile device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile platforms, when connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/quicktransportsolutions.com\/blog\/how-telematics-can-be-used-to-reshape-your-fleet\/\">telematics\nand fleet management systems<\/a>, provide an end-do-end enterprise solution for\ntrucking companies. Truly effective mobile platforms help truckers and fleet\nmanagers get the job done without even knowing they are there. They generally\nrun in the background and do not require a heavy level of involvement. These\ndevices can be installed in-cab or can be carried around by the truck driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note here that a mobile platform is not\nnecessarily just a smartphone or tablet. They are quite different from mobile devices.\nA standalone mobile device is a multi-purpose tool with many capabilities,\nwhereas a mobile platform is loaded up with pieces of software and apps\ndesigned for industry-related tasks. Such tasks might include performing\nvehicle inspections and filling out reports, scanning documents, or recording\nwhere a piece of equipment is and how it is performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile platforms come in where data analysis is required. A\nfleet cannot do much without a platform that allows them to sift through and\nanalyze the data available to them. This is where the difference between mobile\nplatform and mobile devices come in. Mobile devices use the platform to serve\nthe required purpose. Mobile devices collect data through various methods, but\nhow this data is used is governed by the mobile platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data governing such aspects as truck driver safety, vehicle\nhealth and status, operational efficiency, back-office communications, task\nmanagement, vehicle routing, and more, can all be effectively managed on a\nmobile device through a mobile platform. Mobile platforms can also be\nintegrated with training and coaching mechanisms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Banking on an\nEffective System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile communication platforms have been used by fleets for\nmany years. Essentially, mobile communication platforms provide a link between\nthe fleet and those working in the back-office. Many years ago, these devices\nwould need to be physically installed onto a vehicle\u2019s on-board computer. Now,\nthe same chipsets that would be physically installed into a vehicle are integrated\ninto the mobile platform. Whether fleets employ their use to allow truck\ndrivers to capture signatures, handle inspections, or transmit maintenance\ndata, their value cannot be understated. Effective mobile platforms allow\ntruckers to extend their capability to perform tasks, with much of this\ninnovation being driven by the ELD mandate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ELD mandate ushered in a new era of technological\ninnovation in trucking. ELDs now serve as the backbone for their own mobile\nplatform integrations. Motor carriers and owner-operators have been forced to\nadopt a more technology-forward mindset to meet the requirement set forth by\nthe rule. Yet, the most important aspect of the mobile platform is not the\nplatform itself, but its ability to integrate with all the other systems in use\nby the fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trucking-specific mobile platforms should be able to\nintegrate with whatever current systems the fleet uses. Interoperability can be\na real problem if fleets don\u2019t properly plan for it. A fleet would be wise not\nto implement a mobile platform that cannot properly communicate with their\nother fleet management systems or properly transmit or analyze data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In-cab mobile platforms should provide a gateway between the truck driver and the back-office while also innovating on how the driver gets their job done. If the platform does not ease a driver\u2019s workload while also providing solutions for the company, it might not be worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Integrate the\nSystems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile communications providers who have been in the game\nfor a long time know how to integrate their products with fleet management\nsystems already in existence. Take platforms base don GPS navigation as one\nexample. For years, fleets have been using GPS data for dispatch purposes and\nto assign loads to vehicles. And while fleets still utilize systems this way,\nthe data flow has evolved beyond simple location data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleets have uncovered new ways to solve old problems through\nintegration. These systems provide value to the truck driver and capture data,\nbut they also automate some of the functions that clog up a driver\u2019s day, such\nas entering data into a device. Effective mobile platforms can push data back\nto drivers just when they need it, which makes data entry far easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using mobile platforms in this way provides an innovative\nway to help the truck driver with their workload. Instead of manually entering\ndata into a system, which can be a painstaking process, all the operator needs\nto do is validate the data that is already there. This creates a far better\nsituation for both the truck driver and the entire fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the data coming in through the mobile platform is routed\nthrough an existing telematics platform, fleets can use the data and transmit\nit across other systems within the organization. Consider how much information\ntravels between the various systems used by the fleet. It all needs to be\nconnected to the back-office in some way. Companies can push the data through\neach system to optimize routes, calculate the cost per mile, help with\ngenerating payroll data, track maintenance needs, and enhance equipment\nutilization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When each disparate system used by the fleet is connected\nthrough a mobile platform, the data generated by the vehicle and the driver\nenhances monitoring efficiency, navigation, and other critical details. Proper\nintegration also improves retention by enhancing the overall work experience\nand communication effectiveness between drivers, fleet managers, and the back\noffice. An integrated mobile platform should assist in everything from collecting\nfield data to dispatching vehicles along predetermined routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also important to remember that not all data needs to\nbe integrated into the system. Integrating data in real-time could provide some\nlogistical challenged for the back-office. Still, some systems do require\nreal-time integration, such as ELD data devices, routing applications, mobile\nand inspection forms, and vehicle location and status data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data can be optional when the fleet chooses it to be. If\na motor carrier is working with a mobile platform that provides feedback on a\ntruck driver\u2019s speed, while that information can be transmitted to a field\nsupervisor or fleet manager through an alert, it does not necessarily need to\nbe integrated into the back-office system, that is unless the fleet wants to\nintegrate that data into a broader company safety initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a mobile platform has been integrated into a fleet\u2019s\nmanagement system, it can be used in many ways. Fleet management solution\nproviders integrate data into their systems for a specific purpose. The mobile\ndata provided by these systems gives fleets the ability to tackle new problems\nas their businesses grow. It allows them to scale in ways that they could not\nbefore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When data is being managed effectively, fleet managers are\nprovided with a comprehensive look into what truck drivers and other fleet\noperators are doing. Even better, the data can be integrated into fleet systems\nfor a non-telematics need. As one example, second-order analytics provides\ninvaluable insights into acceptable levels of risk for the fleet. It can\nprovide a correlation of events between telematics data and other systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such data, whether it be for maintenance, coaching, retention or other needs, can be used to enhance fleet operations in many ways. Trucking companies must work with third-party providers to incorporate existing data from their mobile platforms into their current systems. They must focus on interoperability and ensure that they are getting the most out of their investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile platforms provide a window into the future of\ntrucking. In combination with other advances systems, they can truly provide a\none-stop-shop solution to create a new paradigm for fleets who want to evolve\nbeyond a simple matter of vehicles moving freight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile communications have revolutionized the way many companies do business, and this is just as true for the transportation industry as any other.
