Bridgestone’s fleet management solution, Webfleet, is connecting hundreds of thousands of vehicles across the world. Over 60,000 businesses use Webfleet to improve fleet efficiency, support drivers, boost safety, stay compliant, and work more sustainably. For more than 25 years it has been empowering fleet managers and drivers with data-driven insights that help them optimize their operations.
In order to provide their users with additional value-added services without the need to run integration projects on the customer side, Webfleet is collaborating with Bosch L.OS – Logistics Operating System to leverage the smart integration of digital services into existing systems.
With a close connection to the market, Webfleet sees fleet decarbonization and safety as top priorities in the mobility & logistics domain. Both topics have a strong link to compliance as businesses will be obliged to meet e.g. tachograph compliance and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In order to achieve stricter sustainability targets, the shift to electrification and alternative fuels is a big aspect of it. Last but not least, driver wellbeing –in light of the driver shortage – is another major topic.
New technology can help with all these challenges. Smart integrated digital services add value to fleets and help them tackle these challenges while maintaining a profitable and reliable business.
As a first use case, Webfleet and Bosch teams are working together to seamlessly integrate Bosch Secure Truck Parking, the leading European booking platform for secure truck parking, into the Webfleet fleet management solution via Bosch L.OS. This integration will allow Webfleet customers to easily find and book truck parking spaces for their fleets without the need to leave the application and help businesses to:
Intelligently connecting different services and systems into a uniform solution empowers users to run their businesses more efficiently based on real-time data. The ambition with this first use case described above, is for dispatchers to get recommendations for available parking spaces based on remaining driving time and order schedule, to prevent drivers from exceeding legal driving times and improve planning. Moreover, ETAs will be calculated and communicated even more precisely depending on the current traffic situation. All secure parking booking details can be automatically shared with drivers via Webfleet’s dedicated driver app and terminals.
