Masternaut launches ‘game-changing’ telematics solution10 October 2013

Masternaut has launched its next-generation telematics platform Masternaut Connect which, says the company, "rewrites telematics" and offers fleet managers "game-changing business intelligence".

The new platform promises a step-change in features, integration, performance, scalability and accuracy.

Following €20 million investment and 18 months of development, the result is a future-proof telematics platform, which is sufficiently robust and scaleable to handle big data demands.

Masternaut Connect is a suite of modular applications, hosted on a private dedicated cloud infrastructure. A range of integration points are provided, including: cloud side for TMS, ERP and other systems; APIs for external data feeds from other devices; and in-vehicle using Masternaut's wireless network to integrate custom tablet or smartphone applications.

The platform has real-time event processing, giving fleet managers information as it happens, and stores data for longer, so facilitating analytics and compliance requirements.

Alex Rothwell (pictured), Masternaut's chief technical officer, says: "Incorporating custom-designed user interfaces, in-stream processing and data aggregation and analytics engines, this is a true first for any organisation within our industry.

"Masternaut Connect leapfrogs current platforms on the market, providing a comprehensive and future-proofed telematics service via one single technology stack, in order to deliver game-changing business intelligence."

Martin Hiscox, chairman and CEO, adds: "The landscape has changed considerably since we introduced our first generation telematics solutions. The growth of floating car data, advances in driver performance management, vehicle scheduling and data aggregation means there is more intelligence available to acquire – and more opportunity to harness it."
