CalAmp and PluService Transform the Management Of Public and Private Transport VehiclesMILAN and IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a global technology solutions pioneer transforming the mobile connected economy, today announced its subsidiary, LoJack Italia, and PluService, an Italian-based leader in enterprise resource planning (ERP) for the mobility sector, have launched an innovative telematics service designed to transform the maintenance and management of public and private transport vehicles. This new service aims to make bus maintenance smarter and prevent mechanical breakdowns, enabling more timely and efficient repairs with less cost. The LoJack Connect technology gives transport companies the ability to monitor the health status of their vehicles in real-time and promptly notifies them if a malfunction occurs. The system provides logistics managers with the information necessary to make appropriate operating decisions about whether a bus needs to be returned for regular maintenance or kept completely out of service due to mechanical problems. LoJack Connect helps shorten the time for diagnosis and repair, thus avoiding more serious failures as well as inefficiencies and problems related to recovery and transport of passengers. "The collaboration with LoJack has allowed us to develop an important value add to our workshop management product," said Giorgio Fanesi Managing, director of PluService. "This technology creates an effective tool offering a substantial reduction in maintenance costs. We have confirmed our mission to design and develop software services aimed at improving the income statement of our clients." "The real-time monitoring of bus fleets allows optimization of the vehicle maintenance process and a reduction in costs associated with repairs, service availability and vehicle downtime," Justin Schmid, general manager, LoJack International Operations for CalAmp. "By proactively managing their vehicle maintenance programs, fleet operators are able to also protect passengers and improve road safety." How does it work? The LoJack telematics solution deployed in the vehicle detects a diagnostic trouble code coming from the electronic control units of the vehicle. The relevant information is sent immediately to the PluService body shop network where they are able to provide a real-time alert to the transport company. This enables prompt intervention and a swift resolution to the mechanical problem. The timeliness of the communication allows fleet operators to respond rapidly to critical maintenance issues, ensuring safety and reducing costs.
