948 General Motors (GM) has partnered with 1623 Telogis to provide fleet customers a one-of-a-kind telematics solution that provides actionable data to help control costs, increase safety and enhance fleet operations.

Telogis is integrating its location intelligence platform with GM’s 5861 OnStar’s proprietary application program interfaces, or APIs, to provide information about vehicles to fleet customers. Through the new offering, commercial fleets can receive actionable intelligence relating to vehicle location, odometer, fuel consumption and other maintenance information on their GM connected vehicles.

On properly equipped GM fleet vehicles, OnStar technology is integrated into the vehicle from the point of vehicle manufacture and is covered under GM’s standard bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and can be serviced at any of GM’s 4,300 US dealers.

Telogis provides a comprehensive cloud-based location intelligence platform for companies that require route optimisation, real-time work order management, commercial navigation, telematics and mobile integration services for their mobile workforces.

“The combination of OnStar’s industry-leading, unique infrastructure and the Telogis platform will allow fleet managers to keep their vehicles running smoothly on the road,” said Ed Peper, US vice president, GM Fleet and Commercial. “This is the next step in expanding our connected vehicle service offerings to help fleets operate more efficiently and identify cost savings.”

"By leveraging GM’s OnStar connected services infrastructure, we make it easier for customers to access our comprehensive location intelligence platform directly through any GM OnStar-equipped commercial vehicles,” said Susan Heystee, executive vice president, worldwide sales at Telogis. "GM customers have easy access to powerful analytics and connected intelligence that will transform the way their business is done outside the four walls."

The Telogis fleet telematics solution will be available in spring 2014.
