Location data and technology platform HERE Technologies has announced the expansion of its partnership with Australian telematics solutions provider Netstar Australia to enhance its asset and fleet management capabilities for heavy vehicles.
The pair’s partnership began in 2008 delivering valuable location-based solutions for transport and logistics companies.
As part of the relationship, Netstar Australia has been using a comprehensive suite of HERE location services and HERE map content to power its asset-tracking solutions for commercial and heavy vehicles. This means it has provided customers with real-time guidance for commercial and heavy vehicles on the road while also improving driver safety and fleet management through optimised routing and precise tracking.
The next phase of the partnership will be to focus on enhancing truck navigation through Netstar’s use of HERE’s Software Development Kit (SDK) Navigate, building Netstar’s smarter navigation applications.
Grant Fraser, Netstar group managing director says, “Our partnership with HERE Technologies has been instrumental in enabling us to provide our customers with industry-leading asset tracking and management solutions,” Fraser says.
“With the addition of HERE SDK Navigation, we are well-positioned to support businesses with its fleet management across Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific region.
“We are enthusiastic about our upcoming global expansion and the impact we will make on the fleet management landscape.”
Netstar is preparing to expand across the Asia-Pacific region within the next three years, with its plan including introducing solutions developed in partnership with HERE Technologies to a global audience.
The expansion aligns with Netstar’s mission of transforming the way companies manage assets and fleets.
Mark Wallace, HERE Technologies Australia and New Zealand head of partners says“We are excited to continue our journey with Netstar, who has been a remarkable partner over the years.”
“This expansion of our partnership reinforces our commitment to delivering cutting-edge location-based solutions for the trucking industry – one that relies heavily on fleet management to streamline operations and maximise efficiency.
“In alignment with the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy in Australia, this partnership allows us to provide innovative and reliable tools for asset tracking and navigation, addressing the evolving needs of businesses in this dynamic market.”
