About Daimler Fleetboard
As the central brand of Daimler AG’s truck telematics, Daimler Fleetboard offers telematics-supported services for cost-effective control of logistics processes and commercial vehicles. These services combine information from the areas of transport management, vehicle management and time management for companies from the long-distance, distribution and construction transport industries. Everything is displayed in common user interfaces, including a world map. The data can also be integrated into the company’s own shipping software using public interfaces. The company’s own hardware is used to communicate with the vehicle and driver.
Telematics services are used throughout Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, Brazil and many other parts of the world. Customers include large distribution chains, such as Edeka, Tesco and Aldi, as well as fleets with thousands of vehicles, such as CharterWay.
