Verizon teams with commercial telematics solution providers like Telogis, Trimble and Telenav to help transportation businesses improve the efficiency of their operations and benefit from controlling costs.

Telogis and Trimble help you increase visibility into your operations, using near real-time access to GPS data to track vehicles, improve routes, promote safety by monitoring driver behavior, control costs and manage driver hours of service to adhere to regulatory standards.

Plus you can leverage utilization data to improve fleet management.

The Telenav Asset Tracker™/Sendum PT200 solution tracks location and condition of shipments and mobile assets, helping you reduce in-transit shrinkage, increase asset utilization through precise location data and track product conditions.

Digi Tank Solutions provide wireless remote access to tank information in near real time, so you can more efficiently monitor inventory, optimize delivery schedules and reduce maintenance costs.
