Averitt Rolls Out Virtual Vehicle Platform to Entire Fleet
COOKVILLE, Tenn. & SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Virtual Vehicle makes it easy for Averitt to develop, deploy, and manage its mobile devices and applications for its entire fleet. Through the open platform, Averitt can craft their own solution set, and connect their Averitt Drive app to their other platform apps, enabling services like SSO and shared mobile identity, to create a more secure, unified, and efficient experience for all of their drivers. Virtual Vehicle also allows ongoing configurability, a tightly integrated experience, and tier-1 support for the entire solution.
“Creating the best driver experience is our top priority and Platform Science uniquely allows us to do this. While it may have been possible to achieve our basic objectives by stitching our app together with a few others, Platform Science is the only solution that doesn’t just enable the use of our driver application; it takes our app and the other solutions we leverage to the next level,” said Tim Saylor, Vice President, Information Services, Averitt. “Virtual Vehicle gives us tremendous flexibility. We can make adjustments to our combined offering, whether that be through simple modifications or wholesale replacement of particular applications, without the need to break up any hard coding, degrade the user experience, or even touch the truck.”
“Averitt is an industry leader and a technology innovator. We are thrilled to be their partner of choice to bring the Averitt Drive app to the center of their in-cab experience,” said Luke Wachtel, Senior Vice President of Transportation and Logistics, Platform Science. “Averitt came to us looking for flexibility without compromise. With our proprietary application platform, Virtual Vehicle, Averitt’s drivers will find that completing their daily tasks will take less time, require less data entry, allow for fewer errors and leverage more functionality without the need for additional training or knowledge.”
