Great Dane, a manufacturer of commercial transportation equipment, and Coretex, a global provider of supply chain compliance and fleet management solutions, announced a technology partnership surrounding the FleetPulse smart trailer solution at The International Foodservice Distributors Associations’ (IFDA) Distribution Solutions Conference. The two companies, which jointly bring scale and complementary expertise, will offer customers a comprehensive solution for refrigerated trailers called FleetPulse with Reefer Control by Coretex. 

FleetPulse is a trailer telematics system that integrates with a variety of trailer components that collect precise measurements and allows fleets to keep watch over critical items like GPS location, tire inflation system, doors, trailer cargo weight (e.g. load status), burned-out lights, ABS fault codes, and actual mileage.

“One of the core principles behind FleetPulse is to have rigorous discipline around validating each connected component,” said Mike Molitor, Director of Business Development for Great Dane. “The Coretex technology is a proven and tested platform and is trusted by some of the most sophisticated reefer fleets that use both Carrier and Thermo King assets. Together, we provide refrigerated fleets a seamless, single source of data from the combined trailer and reefer unit and eliminate the annoyance of multiple subscriptions.”
