Collaboration Equips Drivers with Kyocera DuraForce XD Rugged Smartphones and the Geotab Fleet Management Solution to Meet New Transportation Regulations
The biggest challenge faced by Success Logistics wasn't finding an Android device that would run the Geotab Drive mobile app for drivers – those were plentiful. The biggest challenge was finding the right Android device that could withstand the many challenges transportation workers face, from inclement weather to vehicle tracking and long hours on the road.
In the past, the fleet of drivers used Automatic On-Board Recording Devices (AOBRDs) but they were extremely expensive, leading the company to seek a more affordable smartphone-based solution. One of the benefits of AOBRDs, however, was the large screen size and ease of use in running solutions like Geotab Drive, in which inputting information requires several precise finger taps on the touchscreen. Geotab Drive, which is an all-in-one driver platform for Hours of Service, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting and Driver ID, worked better for the drivers on a larger interface where they could interact with the screens even with wet hands or with gloves on.
Success Logistics' Transportation Manager Rick Searcy knew he needed a cost-effective, durable smartphone that would perform properly "in cab," survive long-term across different types of trucks and was easy to use for all drivers. The device would be used 24/7 and needed to be able to take some abuse – bumps, drops, dust, water spills, extreme temperatures and more.
