“The MercuryFleet solution is unique in that it allows customers to not only manage drivers, equipment, and operations using one platform, but to also optimize across all modes of transportation, and to make optimal decisions regarding whether a specific shipment should move via their private fleet or a carrier,” said Todd Bucher, vice president, fleet, MercuryGate International.
The solution uses the algorithms and logic used in the Driver Safety Management System, the system used by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to calculate measures and percentiles for each driver, allowing managers to proactively analyze driver performance and predict CSA scores.
“With ongoing changes and complexity in both driver and equipment regulations and increased demands to improve service while reducing transportation costs, supply chain managers need solutions designed to address all of their needs proactively and quickly,” said Bucher.
