CalAmp, an Internet of Things (IoT) enablement solutions provider, recently announced the release of its new CalAmp Telematics Suite ,designed to enable companies to manage a diverse set of assets, including vehicles, equipment, and packages anywhere and at any time with one common application. The solution purports to help transportation, construction, government, energy and other companies to obtain real-time business-critical intelligence for unparalleled insight into their operations to achieve maximum efficiency at minimum cost and downtime.
Traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions provide individual applications that address one aspect of a business at a time. The CalAmp Telematics Suite is designed to be a more comprehensive suite that integrates SC iOn Command Portal, AssetOutlook, FleetOutlook, GovOutlook, iOn Hours, CrashBoxx and DeviceOutlook as modules into a single application viewable from any connected PC or personal electronic device. The various Suite modules can be activated so users can create customized views based on specific business models and engagements.
Operations managers can make a single technology investment to gain a panoramic view of the connected ecosystem such as vehicles and mobile workers to package visibility and environmental condition monitoring.
"The CalAmp Telematics Suite's unique blend of insights and intelligence from diverse data points allows businesses to fill the problematic information gaps in their telematics data," said Paul Washicko, SVP and GM, SaaS business, CalAmp. "When applied to an asset management solution, a company can now pair a package to a driver, and a driver to a vehicle to monitor for compliance and gain a complete view of their operations from one application platform. For example, a construction company could capture all the data from a past project including the pieces of equipment, number of workers and how long they were operating. The CalAmp Telematics Suite allows customers to save money and time by refining their business practices to avoid downtime or cost overruns."
