Bridgestone Mobility Solutions is collaborating with Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, to offer integrated mobility services to their fleet customers.
Bridgestone Mobility Solutions is the business of Bridgestone, focused on data-driven mobility solutions including Europe’s leading fleet management solution Webfleet.
As part of the collaboration, Webfleet joins Bosch’s Logistics Operating System L.OS, to offer additional solutions seamlessly integrated into the Webfleet fleet management platform.
The goal is to intelligently connect different services and systems into a uniform solution to empower businesses to run their fleets more efficiently based on real-time data.
As a first use case, Bosch Secure Truck Parking, a leading European booking platform for secure truck parking, will integrate into the Webfleet fleet management solution via Bosch L.OS.
The digital solution will allow fleets to quickly and easily plan and book secure parking spaces across a network of verified parking lots, minimising cargo theft risk and prioritising driver well-being. The solution also helps to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions from time wasted searching for a parking space.
Customers will gain access to Bosch Secure Truck Parking, directly within the Webfleet fleet management platform. The ambition is for dispatchers to also get recommendations for available parking spaces, based on remaining driving time and order schedule, to prevent drivers from exceeding legal driving times and improve planning.
Moreover, ETAs will be calculated and communicated even more precisely depending on the current traffic situation. All secure parking booking details can be automatically shared with drivers via Webfleet’s dedicated driver app and terminals.
“We are thrilled to join the Bosch L.OS platform,” said Taco van der Leij, Vice President Webfleet Europe at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “With this collaboration, we are bringing together two powerful entities in the mobility landscape to address critical challenges for fleet businesses.
“The Secure Truck Parking solution is just the beginning of our collaboration; we are committed to providing more and more impactful features and innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Webfleet and Bosch L.OS plan to evaluate the integrated Secure Truck Parking offering with a select group of customers starting in spring 2024. This initial phase will allow product experts from both partners to gather feedback and explore other potential value-added features, before a broader rollout.
Through this partnership, Webfleet continues to expand its partner ecosystem, offering fleets unparalleled access to cutting-edge technologies that empower them to operate more efficiently, safely and sustainably.
