The predictive alert notifications and enhanced alarm details help fleet managers be proactive in responding to problems and avoid costly unplanned downtime. Alarm triage insights provide valuable information to internal fleet monitoring teams, helping them quickly comprehend and address alarms, ultimately increasing uptime.

Fleet managers need to also understand what drives costs and inefficiencies within their operations. Using information from billions of weekly data points from active Thermo King units in transport, the benchmark analytics dashboard provides metric-based insights from across the industry. Customers can compare their fleet's energy usage and operations with best-in-class fleets.

Driving Sustainable Operations

In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, TracKing Pro telematics enables customers to quantify their fleet’s CO2 emissions in metric tons for both diesel and electric standby operations. With this data, fleets can operate more sustainably and reduce their carbon footprint as they work toward meeting organizational ESG goals.

TracKing Pro telematics summarizes quantitative data and provides reports that can be easily communicated to key stakeholders, such as customers that want to contract with more environmentally friendly carriers.

The simple, intuitive interface enables users to gather the data they need to tell their organization’s cost-savings and environmental responsibility stories.
