SkyBitz announced a strategic technology partnership with Omnitracs, the global pioneer of fleet management solutions to transportation and logistics companies.

Together, the two organizations will offer a more extensive range of advanced fleet and trailer-tracking solutions for greater data insight and a more transparent view of a fleet’s entire operation.

“Our commitment to the customer begins with the development of innovative solutions that drive more internal efficiencies, which in essence translates to revenue growth and improved customer satisfaction,” states Henry Popplewell, SkyBitz president. “Our partnership with Omnitracs will help customers better utilize more advanced tools across their entire supply chain, regardless of whether they are optimizing their driver and dispatch operation or their asset management environment. This technology will improve their internal operation so they can focus on providing the best external experience for their customers.”

With this offering, customers of Omnitracs and SkyBitz will benefit from the following:

Access to a more robust range of solutions, greatly expanding the scope of assets and insights offered.

Communication between in-cab telematics devices and trailer telematics units, providing drivers and back-office personnel immediate verification of tractor-trailer connections and catalyzing real-time data sharing between systems.

An unmatched compilation of integrated driver, vehicle, and asset management tools.

“Through the SkyBitz partnership, Omnitracs is furthering its commitment to working with industry-leading partners to provide paramount solutions to our customers and the market at large,” said Ray Greer, Chief Executive Officer at Omnitracs. “Integrating SkyBitz trailer tracking solutions with our fleet capabilities allows us to continue to focus on the open platform strategy of Omnitracs One and the consolidation of data within the platform across the value chain.”
