SkyBitz and McLeod Software announced a new partnership to add new Skybitz features into McLeod Software's transportation management software, allowing its customers to benefit from real-time information on their trailers.


This technology integration provides McLeod Software users a single access point to gain operations and dispatch system decision-enabling information with feature-enriched trailer status. SkyBitz provides event-driven data such as whether cargo is loaded or unloaded inside a trailer, if the trailer door has been opened or closed, the location of trailers, if a trailer is in motion or stationary, among many other features.

Prior to the availability of this integrated solution, operations managers/dispatchers have to log into multiple applications, such as McLeod Loadmaster and SkyBitz InSight, to get trailer and load information. After the integration, trailer status information will be easily available through McLeod's LoadMaster user interface where it appears alongside other critical load, driver and route information.

The new software integration will be included in the McLeod Software Winter 2011 Release, slated for the first quarter of 2011.
