Webfleet, Bridgestone’s fleet management solution, and Krone are collaborating to offer an integrated telematics solution via the OEM.connect partner programme.
Connecting Krone Trailers with Webfleet
The new solution allows commercial fleet operators to connect their Krone trailers to the Webfleet platform via factory-fitted telematics, eliminating the need for aftermarket hardware installations. This helps operators access trailer data and improve trailer utilisation while reducing downtime and improving overall safety and security, saving costs and time.
This integration offers customers the full advantage of several Webfleet management features such as comprehensive trip packing, real-time location monitoring, proactive maintenance and safety oversight, as well as payload management and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
“Utilising our OEM.connect programme is the quickest way to get trailers online and start enjoying the benefits of the Webfleet platform that supports you to efficiently manage your trailer fleet,’” says Jan-Maarten de Vries, President of Fleet Management Solutions at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “We are excited to collaborate with Krone, a leading trailer manufacturer in Europe, combining truck and existing fleet data on one single platform to help even more businesses with actionable insights to maximise trailer performance.”
Maximilian Birle, Managing Director of Krone Digital added: “By cooperating with Webfleet, we are offering our customers advanced telematics features with an easy-to-use interface from one of the leading fleet management solutions in Europe. With the touch of a button, hauliers can get advanced data intelligence and insights with no expenses related to downtime or installation.”
The integrated trailer solution is available to European Webfleet customers and hauliers can activate the Webfleet integration via the Krone telematics platform, keeping full control over their data.
