Focus on sustainability and digitalization

The Schober Transport GmbH, a family-run business now in its fourth generation, impresses with its breadth of expertise and innovative strength. Pascal Schober and Eberhard Stanger, two key figures within the company, recently shared insights into the firm's current developments and future challenges.

Tradition meets innovation

Pascal Schober, 34, Commercial Director, represents the fourth generation of the Schober family, who have been shaping the company since 1936. „My father already focused on sustainability over 20 years ago,“ Schober emphasises, highlighting the company's long tradition and forward-thinking approach.

Eberhard Stanger, who has been fleet manager since 1999, adds: “Today, we use not only location tracking but the full range of statistical data to assess and improve drivers’ driving styles. “ This approach demonstrates how digitalization and data utilization have become an integral part of the company.

Sustainability as a key differentiator

Sustainability is a key aspect of the company’s strategy. “We try to incorporate environmental awareness into all our processes and improve year on year,“ explains Pascal Schober. The green trucks of Schober Transport GmbH, which can be seen on the motorway with the slogan „environmentally friendly transport solutions, are a visible symbol of this commitment.

By using Trendfire’s telematics solution, driving styles can be analyzed in detail and optimized. “We use our tracking system to monitor how environmentally conscious our drivers are on the road,” explains Pascal Schober. This data not only helps to reduce fuel consumption but also enables us to provide targeted training for drivers.

An enormous range

Eberhard Stanger highlights the many possibilities offered by the Trendfire telematics solution. “In my opinion, Trendfire offers the most comprehensive range on the market.“For him, Trendfire represents an indispensable tool that plays a central role in both daily operations and strategic decisions. His personal favorite feature is the location tracking function, which helps him track which vehicle was where and when, particularly in relation to speeding offences or accidents. Stanger also highlights the benefits of digital communication via the telematics app and the automation of various tasks, such as Expense calculation or the Reading driver cards .

Digitalization and data management

Digitalization plays a crucial role in Schober’s day-to-day operations. “We really can’t imagine our daily work without telematics anymore,” says Pascal Schober. With Trendfire’s telematics solution, all processes – from location tracking and driving style analysis to communication between drivers and dispatch—are digitized and based on precise data analysis.

This data is also invaluable to the sales and controlling departments. “Without this foundation, we cannot draw up plans or capitalize on opportunities for optimization in sales,” explains Pascal Schober. The detailed data analysis makes it possible to offer customers tailor-made cost estimates and project plans.

A look into the future

Schober Transport sees two major challenges ahead: the ongoing digitalization and the continuous improvement of sustainability. „It will increasingly be about getting hold of data quickly and being able to make decisions based on that data,“ says Pascal Schober. With the help of artificial intelligence and other technologies, data is set to be analyzed and utilized even more efficiently.

Another objective is to produce a sustainability report that is audited by chartered accountants. “The aim is to have reliable data and to be able to present it effectively,” emphasizes Pascal Schober. Data on CO₂ emissions and transport routes are particularly relevant in this context.

Conclusion

Schober Transport GmbH provides a striking example of how tradition and innovation can go hand in hand. Through its consistent use of Trendfire’s telematics solution and a strong focus on sustainability, the company has taken on a pioneering role in the transport and logistics sector. Pascal Schober and Eberhard Stanger make it clear that the intelligent use of data and a tireless commitment to sustainable solutions will continue to play a vital role in the future.
