Geotab to Enhance Puerto Rico's Fleet Management

In a significant move towards better fleet management, the government of Puerto Rico has chosen Geotab USA Inc., a pioneering name in connected vehicle technology, to implement advanced telematics solutions across its extensive vehicle fleet. This selection was made by the General Services Administration (ASG) of Puerto Rico, a critical step towards enhancing the performance and safety of various government-operated vehicles.

The fleet in question includes an impressive array of vehicles, such as light and heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles, police patrol vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, cargo vans, and passenger buses. With these telematics solutions in place, Puerto Rico aims to achieve near real-time tracking and oversight of its vehicles, thus improving emergency preparedness and community safety throughout the island.

Commitment to Public Safety

Neil Garrett, the Associate Vice President of Public Sector Business Development at Geotab, emphasizes the company's dedication to strengthening public safety through data insights. He notes, "Puerto Rico is eager to manage its government fleet more efficiently, save costs, and elevate operational success using our data-driven tools and solutions." This commitment to public safety aligns with Geotab's broader mission of utilizing technology to foster safer, more effective fleet management practices.

Geotab's innovative vehicle and asset management solutions provide fleet managers with crucial data that can lead to improved safety outcomes. For instance, the Geotab Safety Center and Maintenance Center offer valuable insights that facilitate risk management, safety performance enhancement, and predictive maintenance. Such proactive measures can significantly reduce costs and incidents, translating into improved operational effectiveness.

Predictive maintenance, for example, not only enhances the efficiency of the fleet but also reduces the downtime of vehicles, thereby saving money in the long run.

Optimizing Resource Management

According to Karla G. Mercado Rivera, the Administrator at CPO for the Government of Puerto Rico, this initiative is crucial for optimizing resource management and enhancing the speed of emergency response, while also ensuring transparency within government operations. She reinforces that the telematics technology mirrors that of existing systems used by U.S. federal agencies and highlights that Geotab was selected through a competitive procurement process managed by the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO).

Geotab has been officially reaffirmed by the General Services Administration (GSA) to deliver telematics solutions for over 400,000 vehicles within GSA's leasing and agency-owned categories. The company's robust security measures have earned it certifications from FedRAMP and ISO 27001, and its telematics platform has achieved FIPS 140-3 validation, which indicates some of the highest standards in cryptographic security available in the market today.
