Truck technology that helps tackle supply chain challenges

Truck technology that helps tackle supply chain challenges

The theme in today’s stretched supply chain is “day to day.” Talk with anyone. (Seriously, anyone in basically any industry) and supply is managed to the best of abilities every day. We work with what we got, but what about what we’re going to need?

For that we need more visibility into our operations. Through the right data, and dashboards, trucking fleets can gain deeper insight into replacement parts, equipment utilization and beyond. I connected with Anand Rau, CalAmp’s CTO and vice president of engineering to talk about the most common ways data can be used to smooth supply chain wrinkles, the impact of the 3G sunset on data availability and the next frontier of truck telematics.

Watch the video above for all of the details.
