The Challenge
Isotrak knows that the demands placed on delivery fleets are constantly evolving and customers require greater insight into fleet operations so it uses business intelligence data to provide retailers and manufacturers with a total vision of their transportation ecosystem. Expanding the capabilities of its real-time ATMSi fleet management system, Isotrak provides integrated supply chain solutions that access real-time data with robust alerting and reporting capabilities.
With 25% of the world’s top food retailers using Isotrak products, Isotrak required quicker access to analytics for its IoT/M2M deployments – delivered with reliable reporting methods and at a low total cost of ownership.
The Solution
Isotrak turned to Aeris, an operator of end-to-end IoT and M2M services and a technology provider enabling other operators to build profitable IoT businesses, to provide a reliable mobile network optimised to meet the demands of worldwide fleet management systems, while providing actionable visibility into the IoT/M2M solution.
“Our fleet management system provides advanced data and reporting scenarios for complete visibility into the transportation ecosystem,” explains Jason Price, the sales and marketing director at Isotrak.
“We wanted to ensure reliable connectivity services and data insights no matter where our customers are located. By complimenting our solution with Aeris’ IoT network solutions, we are able to provide a robust, global solution that goes well beyond improved connectivity and competitive rate plans. Our customers gain access to real-time, useful information at their fingertips that helps improve their cost structure.”
Aeris offers global support for the major cellular technology standards, such as GSM, CDMA and LTE, and this enables Isotrak to offer its customers flexibility and the potential for growth across the globe. In addition, Aeris’ flexible pricing models meant that Isotrak could partner with Aeris without having the burden of an initial large financial outlay.
Powered by Aeris’ network, Isotrak delivers solutions for telematics and fleet management customers who want to lower their data costs and improve operational efficiencies with data analytics. The security built-in to the Aeris system with a private virtual network gives Isotrak – and its customers – the peace of mind to enable them to focus on maintaining a competitive advantage.

Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

Zonar Takes the Wheel with a M2M Solution
Zonar’s fleet management solutions collect, report and analyze data before, during and after a vehicle’s trip. The company needed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity to enable communication between in-vehicle devices and back-end systems. To deliver high volumes of potentially sensitive information from and to moving vehicles – and keep pace with its rapid business growth – Zonar wanted a highly secure solution that it could easily manage and that had the required national and global reach.
