General Motors announced that it has partnered with Telogis Inc. to provide fleet customers a one-of-a-kind telematics solution that provides actionable data to help control costs, increase safety and enhance fleet operations.
Telogis is integrating its location intelligence platform with GM’s OnStar’s proprietary application program interfaces to provide information about vehicles to fleet customers. Through the new offering, commercial fleets can receive actionable intelligence relating to vehicle location, odometer, fuel consumption and other maintenance information on their GM connected vehicles.
On properly equipped GM fleet vehicles, OnStar technology is integrated into the vehicle from the point of vehicle manufacture and is covered under GM’s standard bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and can be serviced at any of GM’s 4,300 U.S. dealers.
Telogis provides a comprehensive cloud-based location intelligence platform for companies that require route optimization, real-time work order management, commercial navigation, telematics and mobile integration services for their mobile workforces.
Information from the field is transmitted from the vehicle using OnStar technology and the system does not require any additional hardware or third-party installation costs making it an attractive and cost effective solution for commercial fleets to access location and vehicle intelligence, assisting fleets in lowering their total cost of ownership.
The Telogis platform is the first set of commercial applications to utilize OnStar’s proprietary APIs since GM and OnStar announced in early 2013.
The Telogis fleet telematics solution will be available in spring 2014.
