“The Canadian market presents tremendous growth opportunities
for RyderGyde and its users as there are complex fleet management
challenges in Canada,” said Dennis Cooke, president of Fleet
Management Solutions, Ryder. “Each feature on RyderGyde has been
developed based on driver and fleet manager interactions, and we’re
confident that our customers in Canada will provide feedback that
will be used to further enhance the RyderGyde experience for all
users.”
In addition, RyderGyde has completed enhancements to its
roadside vehicle repair functionality with the launch of a roadside
wizard. This new feature allows a driver who is experiencing a
vehicle breakdown to scan the vehicle identification number and
send the issue and location information to a maintenance dispatch
center, leading to a support vehicle onsite in minutes.
“With the RyderGyde roadside assistance wizard, a vehicle that
breaks down in the U.S. and Canada can now receive quicker support
with a streamline digital experience, as opposed to phone calls out
to a service center,” adds Cooke. “Our customers are always seeking
better ways to run their business and the RyderGyde roadside
assistance wizard gives our customers an efficient digitized tool
to get rapid roadside support.”
With the RyderGyde mobile app, drivers, fleet owners, and fleet
managers in both the United States and Canada now have access to
the customized, streamlined digital experience to more efficiently
manage their fleets.
RyderGyde users can view and manage which vehicles within their
fleet need servicing and group vehicles that are most important to
a fleet manager. A combination of a vehicle’s odometer reading and
telematics data determines when a vehicle is ready for maintenance,
and it is automatically flagged in the application, as well as
upcoming preventive maintenance appointments, which are tracked
through the scheduling feature on RyderGyde. Ryder’s more than 800
service locations are also displayed in North America through the
mobile app. The RyderGyde portfolio of features also includes being
able to browse through Ryder’s used vehicle inventory.
To create an even more robust fueling solution, Ryder customers
can also log their fuel receipts using image reading technology
within RyderGyde to quickly enter and store the information. The
RyderGyde fuel receipt capture feature mitigates challenges around
fuel tax reporting. RyderGyde users in the U.S. can also view their
Ryder contracted fuel rates and rates of other fueling stations to
empower them to make the right decisions regarding their
fueling.
The RyderGyde™ app is available on iOS and Android devices and
can be downloaded on the App Store and Google Play. To learn more,
