WATERLOO, ONTARIO – February 4, 2020 – BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) announced today that the BlackBerry Radar
solution now integrates with Trimble’s TMW.Suite and TruckMate
transportation management system (TMS) solutions. The new offering is
available now for commercial carriers, dedicated fleets, private fleets,
brokers and 3PLs using TMW.Suite or TruckMate software.
BlackBerry Radar is an easy-to-install asset monitoring solution for
trailers, chassis, and containers that provides information data around
utilization, location, motion, mileage, door open/close status, and
cargo capacity utilization through an intuitive online dashboard. Data
is transmitted and stored securely on a cloud platform designed to
maintain the privacy of user information.
TMW.Suite and TruckMate provide visibility into order-entry,
load-booking, dispatch and driver settlement, detention and service
failures, as well as many other processes so that business owners can
manage their fleets based on data-driven intelligence.
Through the integration, fleet owners will be able to receive data on
their trailers, chassis or containers’ location, route, door status,
and cargo load state integrated within the TMW.Suite or TruckMate TMS
software.
“The integration of our TMW.Suite and TruckMate solutions with
BlackBerry Radar provides a seamless experience for drivers, dispatchers
and fleet managers alike,” said Jay Delaney, Senior Director, Product
Management for Trimble Transportation. “With BlackBerry Radar, fleet
managers can achieve unparalleled visibility into their cargo assets
from a single dashboard that they can use to unlock excess shipping
capacity and improve profitability.”
“BlackBerry Radar offers fleet operators unique benefits to help them
manage their operations more effectively, reduce costs and offer
customers more value,” said Christopher Plaat, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of BlackBerry Radar. “We’re thrilled to extend these
benefits to Trimble’s TMS customers. Accessing the critical information
and insights that BlackBerry Radar is able to provide, from right inside
Trimble’s solutions, will no doubt lead to significant technological
efficiencies for the countless employees at freight brokerages, 3PLs,
shippers and fleets who rely on these systems for their day-to-day
operations.”
Each BlackBerry Radar device offers an easy install, giving business
owners virtually instantaneous access to a secure cloud-based dashboard.
The solution includes everything necessary to start tracking mobile
assets immediately including the device, cellular connectivity,
