Addressing concerns voiced by logistics service providers and carriers about adopting real-time visibility.
Visibility succeeds or fails on the quality of distance and time calculations. Trimble Mapping & Routing provides truck‑legal, HGV (heavy goods vehicle)‑aware routes for over 2 million commercial drivers through its powerful routing and geocoding APIs, offering a consistent and compliant foundation for kilometres, minutes, and tolls.
Within Transporeon, this data feeds estimated time of arrival (ETA) calculations alongside real‑time GPS tracking, historical traffic patterns, and predicted driver breaks based on Hours of Service (HOS) rules. All this data is then processed by our AI engine, ensuring every ETA reflects the realities of the road.
But there are less rosy perceptions too, which have become barriers to adoption. These include:
- Data sharing and privacy
- Complex and lengthy integration with existing systems
- Nervousness about operational challenges
Are these concerns justified?
This short e-book separates fact from fiction.
It's a simple tool to address the very fair concerns that have prevented some transport enterprises from taking this game-changing step towards digitisation.
