KeepTruckin, a fleet management platform, launched the KeepTruckin App Marketplace. Working with KeepTruckin’s portfolio of solutions - the KeepTruckin Electronic Logging Device (ELD), Smart Dashcam and Electronic Logbook App - the App Marketplace offers customers a catalog of customizable integrations designed to improve operational efficiencies and increase productivity to save fleets money.
“Data collected from the road gives fleets the visibility they need to make smart decisions in real-time, spanning cost reduction, productivity, and visibility,” said Charles Julius, KeepTruckin's head of product. “Customers use our App Marketplace as a one-stop shop where they can access exclusive integrations offered by our KeepTruckin Partners. Teaming up with other industry leaders is the next step in expanding how KeepTruckin’s modern fleet management solution grows with a business to meet any customer's evolving needs.”
A central platform for drivers and fleet managers, the KeepTruckin App Marketplace allows users to privately share data recorded by the KeepTruckin platform with other approved third-parties.
Users can benefit from apps that are tailored to their fleets’ needs and can:
- Provide real-time status updates, messaging, and location data (GPS) to improve dispatchers’ ability to track driver’s availability and manage loads.
- Increase visibility between brokers and loads boards to create faster and more efficient ways to match carrier availability.
- Use driving data to receive more accurate insurance rates through an integration with Progressive Insurance’s Smart Haul program. New qualifying truck customers that use an ELD and sign up for Progressive’s Smart Haul can save an average of $1,384 on their Commercial Auto policy premium for the initial policy period.
KeepTruckin Partners are already seeing benefits.
“We’re excited to join KeepTruckin’s App Marketplace, which aligns with Progressive’s goal to provide commercial truck drivers with tailored solutions to meet the changing needs of their businesses,” said Rishi Arora, Progressive Insurance's product development manager. “As the No. 1 Commercial Auto Insurer, Progressive is constantly looking for ways to better quote and reward our customers, wherever possible. A hub that allows users to share and integrate their ELD data is another step towards offering the most competitive rates to the safest drivers.”
“McLeod Software is pleased to have LoadMaster mobile communications integration as part of the KeepTruckin App Marketplace,” said Robert Brothers, McLeod Software's product development manager. “The opportunity to provide our customers with a variety of choices to solve their communication challenges with their fleets is an important goal of our strategy. The App Marketplace is a significant step in the automation of receiving, accepting, and completing new dispatches.”
"Shippers and 3PLs increasingly demand full visibility into the location of their freight while it is in transit,” said TJ Schaefer, head of strategic programs for project44. “Partnering with KeepTruckin through their App Marketplace allows us to integrate even more fleets into our rapidly expanding advanced visibility platform. Ensuring carriers and their customers always have an accurate update on the location and estimated time of arrival of a shipment eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming phone calls to check in with the driver.”
