DANA POINT, Calif.,
Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Telogis Latitude Conference -- At its annual business
conference, Telogis, A Verizon Company, announced that it is
partnering with John Deere to enable construction companies to
derive key data and insights from their connected John Deere
equipment to help drive cost savings, efficiency and
productivity.
Through this alliance, Telogis and John Deere will enable
existing and future mutual customers to leverage John Deere
construction equipment's built-in connectivity. Customers will
benefit from access to a richer data set that will help to
eliminate manual data entry and generate deeper insights into
customers' operations.
Customers also benefit from the ability to connect back into JD
Link™ to order parts and service or contact local John Deere
dealers for questions, appointments and equipment troubleshooting.
They will also receive more accurate equipment maintenance records
that can help lead to better uptime and lower total cost of
ownership. Customers can also take advantage of the Telogis Mobile
Resource Management (MRM) software platform's comprehensive feature
set, such as jobsite utilization alerting and reporting that
features engine hours, whether equipment is being fully utilized,
fuel consumption and details on diagnostic codes. Customers' cost
structures are also optimized by leveraging the John Deere
telematics devices that come built into the equipment from the
factory or installed aftermarket at an authorized dealer.
"Telogis' successful track record working with both off highway
and on highway customers gave us great confidence that this is the
right strategic relationship to bring these mission-critical
technologies and services to our customers," said Jena Holtberg-Benge, Director Worksight
Solutions at John Deere. "By working in tandem with Telogis, we're
giving businesses the ability to run their entire mobile equipment
business on one comprehensive software platform with one login for
all their vehicles and equipment – whether it's John Deere or a
mixed fleet."
"Equipment – not just vehicles – represent an enormous
investment for mobile businesses, and it's more important than ever
to ensure that equipment is running safely, and that it's out there
earning money and delivering value and ROI every day," said
Jeff Cohen, Vice President, Asset
and Security Solutions at Telogis, A Verizon Company. "By
understanding how the equipment is being used, how many hours it's
running and where there are opportunities to maximize uptime and
utilization, customers can identify opportunities to drive cost and
time savings, plus productivity and efficiency in every aspect of
their mobile businesses."
The offering will be available to organizations of any size
through connected John Deere equipment or through authorized
dealers through the end of 2016, and each new piece of equipment
will have access to both JDLink and Telogis.
