EROAD, Whip Around partner on maintenance, compliance solutions

EROAD is partnering with Whip Around to combine the former’s real-time vehicle data, GPS tracking, and compliance solution with Whip Around’s maintenance management platform. Together, the companies said this will help clients automate compliance workflows and proactively address vehicle issues.

"EROAD is committed to building a connected ecosystem that simplifies fleet management," said Mark Heine, EROAD co-CEO, “and we see fleet maintenance as a significant opportunity to deliver greater value to our customers. By combining our telematics expertise with Whip Around’s flexible inspection and maintenance management tools, we’ll provide fleet managers the intelligence and insights they need to take greater control of their operations and drive smarter, safer outcomes, positioning them for immediate and future success in their operations.”

Taken together, the combined services will let fleets manage their preventative maintenance schedules; leverage asset health insights with real-time data from engines, such as fault codes, engine temperature, mileage, and more; and create a connected workflow between drivers, fleet managers, and technicians.
