Cartrack, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Karooooo, has partnered with European semi-trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull to integrate TrailerConnect telematics data into Cartrack’s software-as-a-service fleet platform, enabling transport operators to access real-time trailer insights including temperature, location, route and load condition. The company said the integration takes place automatically when customers opt in and use OEM-fitted telematics devices, with no additional hardware installation required.
Cartrack said the platform enables fleet operators to track and manage trailer performance, monitor cargo temperatures for sensitive freight, predict and schedule maintenance, and increase visibility across mixed-asset fleets. The integration is compliant with EU data protection regulations.
Soeren Danielsen, Manager of Strategy and Business Development at Schmitz Cargobull, said: “The TrailerConnect Data Management Center gives transport companies full control over their data and allows them to selectively share it with third parties. By intelligently linking vehicle, route and order information, users can go beyond just position and temperature data.”
Richard Schubert, Group Chief Operating Officer at Cartrack, added: “Together, we offer complete transparency, smarter insights and secure, scalable data solutions to simplify complex logistics workflows.”
