Executive Summary

The daily deluge of transportation data from disparate systems such as route planning and onboard computers (OBCs) hides actionable intelligence that can lead to gains in efficiency and cost savings.

Syntelic merges all available transportation data in one flexible workspace for continuous optimization of your fleet operations.

How easily can you mine the wealth of data you already have from your various systems? Can you drill down on specifics? Can you find gaps in your equipment utilization?

Are you leaving money on the table?

Syntelic does not replace your current systems. It helps fully utilize those investments for additional operational improvement.
