The trucking industry plays a vital role in global commerce, ensuring the smooth transportation of goods across vast distances. However, with increasing pressure on supply chains, paucity of skilled techs, and evolving regulations, businesses face mounting challenges in maintaining the reliability and performance of their vehicles while ensuring driver safety. Digitizing the maintenance process helps overcome these challenges by reducing manual effort and automating routine tasks as well as compliance reporting.
Connixt iMarq is an open architecture, cloud-based mobile digital maintenance platform that integrates with the Geotab ecosystem to help manage fleet maintenance better. In collaboration with Geotab, we are hosting a webinar where we delve into the latest trends and advancements in the trucking industry and the impact of digitized maintenance on business operations. We will also explore the value generated by the integration of open architecture platforms like iMarq with Geotab.
One of the primary benefits of integrating iMarq with Geotab is the automation of maintenance work orders, including those for Preventive Maintenance (PM). In the past, scheduling and generating PM work orders required manual processes based on miles or hours driven, or going through DVIR reports to create work orders – all of which are time-consuming and susceptible to errors. Through this integration, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) generated from Geotab are accessible in iMarq, which can now trigger maintenance work orders/ tasks along with location, based on mileage or hours driven or vehicle diagnostics (e.g. engine light). iMarq can also update any back-end maintenance system (CMMS /EAM) with this Work Order information. This system combines the functionality of Geotab and iMarq to create a process tailored to meet the fleet’s maintenance needs. The triggers, schedule, and automation are configured specifically for the business and can be modified at any time for that fleet.
Real-time data from Geotab, including vehicle diagnostics and performance metrics, can thus be leveraged to make informed maintenance decisions along with the vehicle location within the iMarq system. This integration enables a proactive approach to maintenance management, reducing downtime and optimizing fleet efficiency.
On Tuesday, June 20th, 2023, our panel of experts, Prabhu Ekambaram (Connixt), Jeffery Holtom (Connixt), and Bradley Quinn (Geotab), will talk about the need for integrations like iMarq with Geotab, automating preventive and proactive maintenance for fleets and the impact of open architecture platforms.
