Telogis and Element Fleet Management announced a global agreement to bring Telogis’ connected vehicle technologies and mobile worker applications to Element’s commercial fleet customers.

The relationship will enable customers around the world to more easily connect and optimize vehicles and equipment, and empower mobile workforces with applications that promote safety, productivity and efficiency.

Element is the largest fleet management company in North America, with operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The company manages the complete lifecycle of its customers’ assets, including vehicles and heavy equipment, from purchasing, leasing, maintenance, and risk and safety solutions to connecting and optimizing mobile workforces.

“Element’s strategy to connect its customers’ vehicles and their mobile workers aligns perfectly with our own,” said Susan Heystee, executive vice president of worldwide sales for Telogis. “The demand for connected intelligence continues to grow, and partnering with Element will enable us to work together to connect their enterprise customers and transform the way they do business.”

The Telogis Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based platform of applications includes vehicle and equipment telematics, mobile compliance and gamification apps, work order management, truck-specific navigation and route optimization.

“We believe that OEMs will play a key role in the future of telematics, and the relationships that Telogis has established bring significant value to our long-term strategy,” said Michele Cunningham, senior vice president of products and services for Element. “We’re committed to offer the highest value content, in the most seamless fashion, to our customers.”

Cunningham added that the combination of advanced analytics Telogis and Element currently deliver will create unprecedented visibility into joint customers’ fleet performance and mobile workforce management.
