SkyBitz, a leading provider of Global Locating System (GLS) trailer tracking technology for the trucking industry, has announced the addition of six customers that are deploying its tracking solutions.
More than 290 fleets now rely on SkyBitz GLS technology to track in excess of 100,000 trailers.
The latest customers have each selected the SkyBitz GLS 200 with Smart Sensor Tracking, a technology that automatically filters out the trailer’s non-essential starts and stops and only reports actionable information determined by the customer such as load arrival and departure times.
“Asset tracking is our only business,” said Roni Taylor, executive vice president of SkyBitz. “More than 290 fleets now rely on our untethered tracking technology to optimize trailer utilization, increase revenue per mile and maximize security.”
The following companies recently chose SkyBitz:
