MONTREAL – Bell Business Markets announced today it has launched Smart Supply Chain powered by Bell IoT Smart Connect, an aggregation solution for fleet and supply chain operators.
“The new platform aggregates multiple IoT data sources and operational data sets into a single dashboard accessible through Bell’s Self Serve Centre,” a press release says.
The dashboard provides a unified view of trucks, trailers, drivers and cargo. This enables fleet operators to see “all events, incidents and alerts and provide near real-time status updates to customers while ensuring cargo and drivers safely reach their destination on time,” the press release reads.
Smart Supply Chain gathers data from sensors in trucks and trailers and sends it to the IoT Smart Connect cloud-based platform over Bell’s LTE network, which provides coverage in Canada and the U.S.
Features of Smart Supply Chain include cold chain monitoring, which automatically records temperatures and sends an alert if they fall outside a safe range, driver scorecards, which “aggregates telematics data and optional video analytics to monitor and rate the behaviour of individual drivers and teams,” and fleet management through pairing management and operational data so “fleet managers and dispatchers can optimize operations and prevent issues.”
“With the need to gather a broad range of data, fleet and supply chain operators are increasingly turning to smart IoT solutions as a core part of their business operations,” said Jeremy Wubs, Bell’s senior vice-president of marketing for Bell Business Markets.
“With Canada’s largest network and our professional managed services, Bell is uniquely positioned to provide organizations with a comprehensive, cloud-based IoT platform to gather insights and help them make better decisions, faster.”
