Business problem: The keys to efficiency were locked in the truck
Trucks produce an incredible amount of data. As a market leader in fleet management with a global reach, Daimler Trucks North American (DTNA) knew that data had incredible potential—if only they could harness it.
To unlock efficiency and maximize fleet performance, DTNA needed transparency into:
-
vehicle health and performance
-
fuel economy
-
driver scores and safety
-
vehicle trip details
Technology solution: Leading-edge telematics platform
Metal Toad built Detroit Connect’s telematics portal to revolutionize DTNA’s fleet management. The system harvests data directly from vehicles moving around the globe into a single easy-to-use portal. Advanced analytics give users insights to drive predictive maintenance, gain efficiencies, and rapidly innovate.

Users can spot vehicle faults during ongoing operation and deploy solutions quickly
-
Fuel economy data and trip details help users spot inefficiencies and improve performance
-
Interactive graphs enable fleets to quickly spot outliers and risks, then identify solutions before problems arise
