J.J. Keller Offers Shared ELD Solution with Geotab

J.J. Keller & Associates and Geotab have announced a new shared electronic logging device solution that will leverage the regulatory tools of the J.J. Keller Encompass Fleet Management System and the telematics technology of Geotab’s open platform solution.

The new shared ELD offering replaces J.J. Keller’s AOBRD solution to help fleets comply with the full ELD mandate. The solution pairs the cloud-based J. J. Keller Encompass system with Geotab’s GO7 ELD.

A hard-wired connection between the Geotab device and J. J. Keller’s app offers fleets a compliant ELD solution with hours-of-service auditing and reporting. Fleets currently using the shared AOBRD solution from J. J. Keller and Geotab can upgrade to the shared ELD solution without having to swap out ELD hardware.

Encompass delivers interactive compliance tools to automate driver qualification, hiring, drug and alcohol program management, driver training, accident tracking, vehicle maintenance, IFTA reporting, and unit legalization tasks.

Geotab’s telematics solution uses data collected via the Geotab GO7 device to help fleets monitor and address unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, hard braking, seatbelt use, and sharp cornering. Fleets can also improve operations by monitoring vehicle location, fuel usage, and vehicle diagnostics data.

“Collaborating with Geotab has resulted in an ELD solution that gives the industry a new option for compliance, efficiency and oversight,” said Rustin Keller, president and CEO at J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. “With Encompass, fleets can more efficiently and effectively manage their everyday compliance tasks, so they can stay focused on business growth while minimizing risk.”
