WESTLAKE, Ohio and SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TravelCenters of
America (NASDAQ: TA) and Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) today announced a software integration, which will
offer a more convenient and more efficient way for major fleet
companies to receive truck maintenance. Fleets tracking their
needed repairs and maintenance in Trimble's TMT Fleet Maintenance software will
now be able to leverage an add-on module to connect and schedule
their work order at a TA Truck Service center with ease.
The new direct connection enables a more seamless collaboration
between fleets and the nearly 250 TA Truck Service Centers,
allowing fleets to more easily schedule maintenance, track and
record service status, access parts and labor records and create
invoices. Managing the connectivity through TMT Fleet Maintenance
can also help eliminate duplicate data entry, result in fewer data
entry errors and provide a more accurate and complete track record
of maintenance over the entire lifecycle of a fleet's equipment.
The module extends Trimble's
ability to manage outsourced repairs by facilitating communication
between fleet maintenance personnel and TA service locations with
respect to scheduling and approval of repair work.
"We're committed to enhancing the entire travel center
experience at TA and are taking steps to improve efficiencies and
convenience in all we do. We're listening to what our guests want,
and this integration is a perfect example," said Brian Lukavich, divisional vice president,
TravelCenters of America. "We've provided superior service to major
fleets for years in our TA Truck Service centers and we're proud to
make our expert technicians even easier to access through this
technological advancement."
"The new TravelCenters of America module is an extension of our
commitment to help fleets harness technology to make more informed
decisions about their assets," said Mike
Keus, vice president, Asset Maintenance, Trimble
Transportation. "By utilizing this new module, TMT Fleet
Maintenance users gain direct connectivity to TravelCenters of
America repair locations to help streamline the repair process and
maximize utilization of their equipment."
The new TMT module with TravelCenters of America is available
from Trimble as an add-on to TMT
Fleet Maintenance. For additional information regarding the TMT
