ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on the
success of its OnCommand® Connection remote
diagnostics solution for all makes and models, Navistar announced
that the OnCommand Connection Marketplace will go live on
Friday, October 27, 2017. The
OnCommand Connection Marketplace is a new, open-architecture,
cloud-based technology e-commerce platform for complete telematics
services and a broad range of related driver support tools and will
be open to customer-created and third-party apps.
"The OnCommand Connection Marketplace is another way we are
helping our customers become more profitable," said Michael Cancelliere, president, Truck and Parts.
"The OnCommand Connection team developed the Marketplace to give
drivers and fleet managers centralized and easy access to
applications and other resources that aid in day-to-day
operations."
The OnCommand Connection Marketplace is an e-commerce platform
designed to be the central hub for the trucking industry, providing
a variety of products, services, tools and insights to allow
companies and drivers to operate more efficiently. All the products
and services within the OnCommand Connection Marketplace are based
on the principle of being open-architecture and providing the most
useful information that customers need to run their businesses from
one, easy-to-use place.
"Our goal is to provide our customers with the best overall
connected experience and we're doing this by creating products and
services that are open to everyone," said Terry Kline, senior vice president and chief
information officer. "The OnCommand Connection Marketplace is
designed to meet the same goal, regardless of what truck you own,
what telematics solution you have installed, or what ELD you are
using today. As the Marketplace expands, it will provide customers
with opportunities to connect their trucks in new and exciting ways
while gaining new insights that will improve their business."
The Marketplace will initially offer the OnCommand Connection
Telematics solution and the certified OnCommand Connection
Electronic Driver Log (EDL) app, which automates federal Hours of
Service compliance requirements that are mandated for all carriers
by December 18, 2017. OnCommand
Connection Marketplace will also offer access to tools such as
driver vehicle inspection reports and other capabilities to make
the driver's job easier and more productive. These easy-to-access
business solutions include offerings in the areas of telematics,
fleet management, maintenance, diagnostics and service, data
analytics, parts and accessories, driver support, safety, logging –
even coupons and discounts for a favorite truck stop. In addition
to the Marketplace, the Electronic Driver Log will be available
online in both the Google® Play store and the
Apple® iTunes store.
OnCommand Connection Marketplace complements OnCommand
Connection, Navistar's industry-leading, open-architecture remote
diagnostics system, which is already driving improved uptime for
more than 325,000 vehicles. By integrating and interpreting vehicle
health information from multiple telematics providers in an
integrated, customer-friendly format, OnCommand Connection enables
fleet users and other customers to achieve more efficient repairs
and maintenance, better lifecycle value, and a lower total cost of
ownership, giving them increased visibility into maintenance and
repair needs and better control of their business. Now, OnCommand
Connection Marketplace will offer new tools that support both
companies and drivers with their day-to-day operations in a
central, web-based ecosystem.
"The OnCommand Connection team is developing a number of new
products and services that will be introduced to the Marketplace
over the next 12-months," noted Cancelliere. "I'm extremely excited
about what the Marketplace will provide and the opportunities it
will bring drivers and fleets of all sizes."
OnCommand Connection Marketplace is available on Friday, October 27, 2017, visit at
