Geotab and Logmaster collaborate to transform Australian trucking

SYDNEY, Australia, 10^th December 2024: Geotab Australia Pty Ltd. (“Geotab”) and Logmaster Trading Pty. Ltd. (“Logmaster”) are proud to announce that they have entered into a commercial agreement, which will offer the Australian trucking industry with enhanced telematics and compliance capabilities.

This commercial agreement celebrates a powerful integration between Geotab and Logmaster, combining Geotab's world-leading telematics with Logmaster's Electronic Work Diary (EWD) and fatigue compliance automation solutions. It enables Geotab to offer Logmaster subscriptions in a more seamless manner, making EWDs more accessible and empowering heavy vehicle businesses with the tools they need to stay competitive and compliant.

Today, many trucking businesses manually reconcile driver logbook records, telematics data, and schedules to ensure compliance. This is a time-intensive process that leaves room for human error, potentially compromising driver safety and fleet productivity. Under this new commercial agreement, users of Geotab’s products and services in Australia will be able to purchase subscriptions to Logmaster’s  digital solutions that improve driver safety, operational efficiency and compliance.

The combination of Geotab’s products and services with Logmaster’s electronic work diary (EWD) software solutions allows for:

• Automated Fatigue Compliance - Logmaster’s EWD and fatigue compliance automation ensures drivers remain within legal working and rest times, reducing the risk of breaches and associated penalties. The platform provides minute-by-minute precision, addressing the limitations of traditional paper logbooks and removing the burden of manual compliance management.
•  Smart Alerts for Real-Time Action - Logmaster’s smart alert system notifies drivers and fleet managers when they are approaching a fatigue threshold.These proactive alerts are integrated with Geotab’s fleet management insights, giving operators the power to act in real-time for optimal route adjustments and scheduling changes.
• Data-Driven Planning and Analysis - Fleet managers can now use historical and live data to identify areas for improvement in route planning and scheduling. The platform offers data-driven insights that reveal patterns and inefficiencies in past operations that help fleet managers improve planning and reduce costs.
• A Comprehensive Compliance Solution - The integration provides record keepers with an all-in-one compliance solution, giving them oversight of driver activities and ensuring alignment with Australia’s fatigue management laws. Compliance checks and real-time data analysis make regulatory oversight simpler and more effective.

"Logmaster’s reputation in the Australian compliance world is in a class of its own. This commercial agreement enables us to strengthen our relationship with Logmaster and our commercial offerings in Australia. We believe that this relationship is only going to get better and that the result will be a world-class product for Australian customers. Looking ahead, both companies are exploring further integration possibilities to further enhance the customer experience even more," said Sean Killen, Geotab’s Vice President for Australia/ New Zealand.

 “Our agreement with Geotab aligns perfectly with Logmaster's mission to provide Australian truck and bus companies with unmatched tools for compliance, efficiency and safety," said Josh Saunders, Logmaster’s Managing Director.

"This agreement brings an incredible opportunity to offer a deeply-integrated solution that directly addresses the growing need for digital compliance and operational insights in the heavy transport industry. Together, we’re delivering on expectations to shape the future of transport compliance in Australia, making it safer and more efficient than ever before.”
