UAE-headquartered Restrata, a situational awareness and telematics provider, has won a contract with logistics company Aramex to supply 500 vehicles with customised, portable in-vehicle monitoring devices.
Shadi Abuhijleh, freight operations manager, Aramex said: Through Restratas technology, we are able to have total asset visibility, a portable solution for leased subcontractor vehicles and operational efficiency.
Aramex installed Restrata fleet optimisation technology on 500 vehicles operating in the UAE and cross border. Implementation began in Q2 2017 and positive results have already been achieved.
Abuhijleh added: Restratas technology has exceeded our expectations, and we are now able to quickly install hardware on vehicles as they arrive to collect consignments, dynamically route vehicles, and engage with subcontracted drivers in real-time. We have seen substantial savings in operational costs, and are able to work much more efficiently with our subcontractors.”
David Nicholls, vice president of situational awareness and telematics at Restrata said: We have secured a 36-month contract with Aramex to supply a customised, portable in-vehicle monitoring kit that will enable total visibility and monitoring in real-time, of their mobile delivery assets.
He added: Restrata is delighted to work with such a prestigious company who have a heritage deeply rooted in innovation, consistently challenging themselves to do things smarter and more efficiently for their customers. Restrata shares that same drive to innovate and disrupt.
Fleet technologies such as vehicle telematics can dramatically help organisations overcome the challenges facing the logistics and transportation sector, including not only improving efficiency but also safety.
