ARCHIVE FOR THE ‘john-deere’ CATEGORY

At its annual business conference, Telogis, A Verizon Company, announced that it is partnering with John Deere to enable construction companies to derive key data and insights from their connected John Deere equipment to help drive cost savings, efficiency and productivity.

Through this alliance, Telogis and John Deere will enable existing and future mutual customers to leverage John Deere construction equipment's built-in connectivity. Customers will benefit from access to a richer data set that will help to eliminate manual data entry and generate deeper insights into customers' operations.

Customers also benefit from the ability to connect back into JD Link™ to order parts and service or contact local John Deere dealers for questions, appointments and equipment troubleshooting. They will also receive more accurate equipment maintenance records that can help lead to better uptime and lower total cost of ownership.

Customers can also take advantage of the Telogis Mobile Resource Management (MRM) software platform's comprehensive feature set, such as jobsite utilisation alerting and reporting that features engine hours, whether equipment is being fully utilised, fuel consumption and details on diagnostic codes. Customers' cost structures are also optimised by leveraging the John Deere telematics devices that come built into the equipment from the factory or installed aftermarket at an authorised dealer.

 

"Telogis' successful track record working with both off highway and on highway customers gave us great confidence that this is the right strategic relationship to bring these mission-critical technologies and services to our customers," said Jena Holtberg-Benge, Director Worksight Solutions at John Deere.

"By working in tandem with Telogis, we're giving businesses the ability to run their entire mobile equipment business on one comprehensive software platform with one login for all their vehicles and equipment – whether it's John Deere or a mixed fleet."

"Equipment – not just vehicles – represent an enormous investment for mobile businesses, and it's more important than ever to ensure that equipment is running safely, and that it's out there earning money and delivering value and ROI every day," said Jeff Cohen, Vice President, Asset and Security Solutions at Telogis, A Verizon Company.

"By understanding how the equipment is being used, how many hours it's running and where there are opportunities to maximise uptime and utilisation, customers can identify opportunities to drive cost and time savings, plus productivity and efficiency in every aspect of their mobile businesses."

The offering will be available to organisations of any size through connected John Deere equipment or through authorised dealers through the end of 2016, and each new piece of equipment will have access to both JDLink and Telogis.
