350-truck fleet Grant Group is first to utilize Innovative Access Plus TMS option
ISAAC Instruments announced today it has become the first external telematics platform to complete an integration through the TrimbleⓇ Transportation Cloud (TTC) with the cloud-based Trimble Innovative Access PlusⓇ transportation management system (TMS), further validating the value of the Trimble Transportation Cloud in connecting the transportation and logistics supply chain.
ISAAC has long integrated with Trimble’s on-premise Innovative TMS through the ISAAC Open Platform. This additional integration via the Trimble Transportation Cloud provides fleets greater flexibility for integrating different current and legacy versions of Innovative TMS to best fit their operations. It is the result of a multi-year cooperative effort between the companies to help fleets be better positioned for a connected future.
“ISAAC is pleased to be the first external telematics provider to offer fleet clients this cloud-based integration with Trimble,” said ISAAC CEO and Co-founder Jacques DeLarochelliere. “ISAAC continues to invest in our integration team and strengthen relationships with technology partners like Trimble to deliver greater value to fleets.”
“Through our collaboration with ISAAC, we’re not only expanding our service offerings—we’re delivering unparalleled value to our joint customers,” said Rishi Mehra, VP of Commercial Mapping & Routing Technology at Trimble. “The ISAAC-Trimble integration offers customers additional benefits to streamline their efficiency, operations and maximize their success.”
Recent ISAAC fleet client and longtime Innovative TMS users, the Grant Group of Companies is the first fleet to utilize the cloud-based Innovative Access Plus integration. Based in Ontario, the Grant Group has more than 350 trucks across a number of operating units, including John Grant Haulage.
“Platform changes can be challenging, especially across the uniqueness of our different business units, but commissioning the fleets went smoothly with minimal disruption,” said Heather LeBlanc, Manager IT Solutions GGC.
LeBlanc said the company has been pleased with the integration’s easy driver onboarding process and strong system connectivity. In addition, the dedicated ISAAC and Innovative teams are continually working together behind the scenes to support the fleet.
“We are anxious to expand our knowledge of what we can do with the integration,” LeBlanc said. “We know we are still just scratching the surface and want to better exploit these new advantages.”
The new integration is available to Trimble TMS customers currently implementing the cloud-based Innovative Access Plus transportation management system.
