Telematics app for truck drivers

Immediate relief for truck drivers and dispatchers

“Where are you right now?”, “When will you be there?”, are probably the most frequently asked questions of a truck driver.

Thanks to truck telematics, you can find out the locations of your vehicles, the estimated time of arrival at the customer’s location, or which drivers are currently near a new job in a matter of seconds—without having to make a phone call.

And that's just the beginning. Our comprehensive telematics solution supports the seamless growth of logistics companies. Equipped with our Trendbee telematics units, your vehicles reliably transmit location and vehicle data via the cellular network to our data center in Germany.

With a browser portal, you can keep an eye on your fleet anytime, anywhere. No software needs to be installed or updated on every computer in the freight forwarding company. The vehicle data with numerous reports such as the driver evaluation or an electronic tour log with downtime are just a few of the features available on the portal. At the same time, you can automatically handle the reading of the driver card and the archiving of data from the digital tachograph without any additional effort.

Here’s how to take your transportation company’s fleet to the next level and continue growing effortlessly. Together with the telematics app for drivers, you can further streamline processes related to orders and routes, as well as communication. In addition, features such as the automatic expense reporting help reduce your workload.

Enjoy the wide range of features offered by Trendfire. With the telematics unit designed specifically for trailers, you can monitor your entire fleet and stay informed at all times about, for example, refrigeration temperatures. When a specified threshold is reached, drivers are automatically notified via the flexible alarm system.

From departure checks and holiday requests to complex internal processes or an addition to driver's licence checks, you can capture this data completely digitally in the future.

Electronic driver's licence check

Digital driver's licence checks are the optimal alternative to manual checks and save you a lot of effort. You simply stick an NFC sticker on the driver's licence and register it in the telematics system. The validity of the driving licence will then be checked in future, „on the road“, fully automatically and digitally. It can be that simple. Check on time and document automatically.

Expense calculation

With Trendfire Expense Calculator, you can generate your expense reports at the click of a button. Thanks to telematics, all expense data is automatically recorded. No more data gaps due to missing information. The duration of absence and the countries visited by your drivers are automatically recorded using GPS and geofencing. The Trendfire payManager automatically calculates the expenses based on this data. And with a click of a button, you can generate the expense report for individual drivers or the entire workforce.

No more paperwork and missing information. Relieve drivers and the accounting department.

Reliable GPS tracking for trucks

Thanks to reliable vehicle tracking, you always know exactly where your vehicles are. Global GPS tracking also enables features such as area monitoring with geofencing; this allows you to closely monitor a specific location or loading point. If your vehicle enters or leaves the area, you are automatically notified. This enables a wide range of functions, such as optimizing downtime at the plant.
The tour list clearly displays all stops, dwell times, and routes . Get a quick overview of the stops and routes traveled by your drivers and vehicles. The address and duration are displayed for each stop. For the distance traveled between stops, you can view the duration, distance, average speed, fuel consumption, and the driver.

To plan ahead and effectively manage

Our telematics solution roadlox shows you exactly how long your driver has been behind the wheel today and how much driving time is left for the next trip. The daily driving time, on-call time, and rest periods are automatically recorded via the driver card. This eliminates the need for drivers to keep track of their hours on paper, which would otherwise have to be laboriously entered later. Colored icons in the driving time overview and warnings indicate impending violations and driving time violations. This ensures that the dispatcher is always up to date and can respond in a timely manner. Thanks to Trendfire Trucking, our telematics app, drivers can also always access their current daily driving time, working hours, and remaining driving time.

Driving and rest periods

Reduce costs with driver evaluations

Together with driver trainers and customers, we have developed a driving style analysis that is second to none. It allows you to fairly evaluate and compare drivers and to targetedly improve driving behavior. The evaluation takes into account the route profile of the tour, the engine characteristics of the vehicles, and the driving style of your drivers. This enables you to conduct a fair evaluation based on concrete data, regardless of the vehicle type or the nature of the assignment. To boost your drivers’ motivation, it also makes sense to create a bonus system that rewards good driving behavior and saves you costs in the long run. Improve the efficiency of your fleet with Trendfire’s driver evaluation.

Fahrerkarte auslesen – einfach, schnell, zuverlässig

Do you still read your fleet’s vehicle data and driver cards manually? roadlox takes care of this for you. Reading the driver card and the digital tachograph is fully automated and reliable. Thanks to the automated download of vehicle data, you can easily comply with legal deadlines and requirements. The data is read at the intervals you set, transmitted via the mobile network, and archived. The days when all vehicles were parked in the yard on weekends and you had to perform the downloads manually are finally over. This not only saves money, but also a lot of time and stress for everyone involved.

Of course, your trailers can also be integrated. Using the trendbeeTRUCK telematics unit in the truck unit, trailers can be paired with the truck unit via RFID. No additional unit is required in the trailer. Or you can use the trendbeeTRAILER telematics unit in the trailer to ensure data collection independently of the truck unit. Of course, the status information of the refrigeration unit can be transmitted and the temperatures in the trailer monitored.
