36% Reduction In Incidents and Accidents with Omnitracs’ Driver Workflow Solution
Sylectus, a business unit of Omnitracs Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated and industry-leader in web-based, transportation management software (TMS) for progressive fleets, has announced that Load One Transportation and Logistics achieved a 36 percent reduction in incidents/accidents since implementing Sylectus’ TMS with Omnitracs’ Driver Workflow and ALK Technologies’ CoPilot Truck on-board, turn-by-turn in-cab navigation.
The web-based Driver Workflow application helps box carriers automate workflow for a more fluid, intuitive driver experience, improving productivity and satisfaction for both drivers and dispatchers.
Detroit-based Load One offers a wide variety of transportation services, including air charter, ground expedite, truckload, specialized curtainside flatbeds, over-dimensional, and intermodal management. Looking to streamline operations and enhance fleet management, Load One deployed Sylectus’ TMS and then added Omnitracs’ Mobile Computing Platform 200 (MCP200) to transform the driver’s cab into a mobile operations center. Shortly thereafter, the company adopted Driver Workflow to reduce dependence on back-office staff through the delivery of intelligent information, prompts and exception notifications that walk drivers through daily job duties and sequence of events.
“Easily paying for itself in the first week of every month, we witnessed our best performance thanks to the automatic address data population in our truck’s in-cab navigation systems, which significantly reduced our out-of-route miles and number of incidents,” said John K. Elliott, president, Load One. “Additionally, we saw an increase in driver satisfaction through the streamlined interface, which is priceless and just as important to ensuring the success of Load One’s operations.”
Leading U.S. fleet The Outbound Group (OBX) Logistics, based in Romulus, Mich., is also leveraging Sylectus’ integration with Driver Workflow to simplify driver interaction with the in-cab unit and reduce time spent manually entering addresses, improving the driver experience and increasing efficiency.
OBX President Harry Zoccoli added, “The seamlessly integrated package of Omnitracs’ MCP50, tracking, Driver Workflow and driver communication with Sylectus’ TMS delivered a one, two knock-out punch for us, tremendously improving our operational efficiencies. We look forward to continuing our relationship, as we find the technology critical to our ongoing growth.”
