IC Bus Partners to Offer Telematics Integration

Tyler Technologies, (NYSE: TYL) is partnering with IC Bus™, a provider of K-12 transportation vehicles and a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) to provide telematics products and services.

The new relationship means school districts and bus contractors ordering IC Bus vehicles can choose to have the Tyler Telematic GPS™ system dealer-installed, saving the expense and inconvenience of hiring their own installers after newly ordered vehicles are delivered.

The integration partnership is part of Navistar’s Connected Vehicle program for its IC Bus line of business. The companies will integrate key software and hardware that help school districts realize measurable ROI by receiving a complete view of vehicle, driver and engine performance data.

Through the new relationship, IC Bus dealers will install an integrated solution that combines Navistar’s OnCommand™ Connection system with Tyler Telematic GPS to deliver diagnostic-related data as easy-to-understand vehicle health reports. Tyler’s solution, which incorporates Geotab® telematic GPS hardware, provides actionable data focused on driving cost savings in four operational areas: driver training and risk management; productivity; fleet maintenance; and regulatory compliance.

Tyler will also be connecting Versatrans® users with the OnCommand Connection solution. Visibility into the operational health of a district’s school bus fleet empowers the district to better understand the severity of vehicle issues and determine the appropriate actions, which support the goal of increased vehicle uptime.
