Future-proof telematics and logistics applications for all fleets
“IT Sonix is an important strategic partner for our product development – one we can always count on.”
Christina Grimm | Head of Engineering Fleetboard
Since 2011, we have been undertaking extensive tasks in the areas of project management, software development, and design for Daimler Truck AG. Together, we are working on a cross-platform solution for truck telematics – spanning the vehicle, the backend, and graphical user interfaces. Currently, we are also supporting the globally successful commercial vehicle manufacturer in transitioning the Fleetboard Cockpit (legacy system) to an innovative cloud solution (Fleetboard Portal).
