Platform Science and SkyBitz® Partner to Deploy SkyMatch™ on Virtual Vehicle to Revolutionize Tractor-Trailer Pairing Across Fleets

Cargo Transporters uses SkyMatch to improve operations, asset awareness

Platform Science expanded its leading Virtual Vehicle® application platform to include tractor-trailer pairing across fleets with SkyMatch, an end-to-end asset management solution from SkyBitz, a brand of AMETEK® Telular.

“Working with SkyBitz to enable their app on Platform Science unlocks a critical way for fleets to leverage their data better, enhance the driver experience, and improve overall fleet efficiency,” said Joe Jumayao, VP of Business Development, Platform Science. “This integration demonstrates the robustness of the Virtual Vehicle platform to provide fleets and partners like SkyBitz with comprehensive options to connect all aspects of the commercial transportation ecosystem.”

“SkyBitz is deeply committed to advancing the transportation industry through innovation and a customer-focused approach,” said Randy Clayton, Division VP, for SkyBitz. “We actively listen to our customers and address their challenges with innovative, effective solutions that are straightforward to implement. Our track record of delivering cutting-edge and impactful solutions underscores this commitment. Our partnership with leader Platform Science further exemplifies our dedication to driving the industry forward.”

SkyBitz’s SkyMatch uses smart logic to facilitate quick and accurate tractor-trailer pairing verification through a local Bluetooth network while the SkyMatch app runs in the background on Platform Science’s in-cab tablet. SkyMatch is easy to deploy and scale up or down based on evolving needs.

Cargo Transporters, a SkyBitz and Platform Science customer with more than 1,900 trailers, has improved overall operations and asset awareness since deploying SkyMatch on Virtual Vehicle to its entire fleet. Since then, Cargo Transporters has had no cargo claims, trailer utilization has improved, and errors associated with manual entry have been reduced.

“We know where our assets are at all times, our drivers can find the trailers they need and we can confirm proper asset pairing, as well,” said John Pope, Chairman of Cargo Transporters. “SkyMatch’s integration with Virtual Vehicle combines data from Platform Science and SkyBitz to present a single unified trailer management interface, saving operational and administrative time.”

SkyMatch on Virtual Vehicle is available to current Platform Science Marketplace Partners and will be more broadly available later this year.

Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle is the premier application platform that can unlock all signals at the edge directly on the truck without any aftermarket hardware installation. It is being deployed by many of the world’s largest commercial trucking fleets, including C.R. England, Covenant, Schneider, and Werner Enterprises. Fleets are able to leverage a best-in-class driver experience integrating an intuitive application ecosystem including solutions made by telematics providers, third-party developers, OEMs, shippers, and fleets themselves.
