At the recent Geotab Extend virtual event, Geotab’s Fabian Seithel and Tim Ruhoff of Fleetster discussed how keyless technology combined with telematics is facilitating in-vehicle deliveries, more automated pickup and return processes, and private carsharing trips with business cars.
Turo is using Smartcar’s APIs in a pilot program that offers secure keyless rentals to its customers in Canada. Other Canadian customers include Pitstop and ACE Marketplace.
Trov is also offering a new program in which over 70 million data points such as vehicle, driver, and road data help fleets to monitor, manage, and mitigate risk in real time.
The digital key solution is engineered to enable public, corporate, leasing, and government fleets to better pool and optimize their assets while integrating with telematics data.
