00:00 This week’s CCJ Tech Shorts shares details of an upcoming event, a new payment feature and an advanced temperature monitoring solution.
00:21 Trucking technology provider Motive is set to host an inaugural event that will bring together business leaders, industry experts, and innovators for hands-on expert training, educational sessions highlighting real-world customer successes, and product demonstrations.
The Motive Innovation Summit will take place in Nashville, April 9-10.
Motive’s CEO (Shoaib Makani) said “Our vision is to unlock the potential of the people who run the physical economy. The Motive Innovation Summit is a chance for leaders from different industries to come together to discuss their big strategic challenges, hone their skills with industry experts, and share their own experiences and expertise. Attendees will go home with new ideas and access to cutting-edge technology from Motive to make their operations safer and more productive.”
The agenda includes sessions that share insights on how to build a world-class safety strategy that reduces risk on the road; how businesses can spot and reduce fraud; the regulatory landscape of the future; and what’s next for the physical economy, among other topics.
01:25 Fleetcor company Comdata has rolled out a new “pay-as-you-go” feature for the Comdata Connect Card.
The cardholder links an existing credit or debit card to the user’s Connect Card. The cardholder pulls up to the pump and swipes the Connect Card to get cash price, plus additional cents off. The funds are instantly drawn from the linked credit or debit card at the point of purchase.
Major benefits of the Connect Card with pay-as-you-go funding include:
• Savings at major truck stops with no special fuel codes needed.
• Avoiding stress over short due dates and late fees
• Taking advantage of big fleet security, fraud alerts and detailed reporting and more
Comdata President Eric Dowdell said, “This is a game-changer for trucking fleets. The Comdata Connect Card already delivers the best discounts and controls in the marketplace, while allowing users to earn rewards from their linked credit or debit cards. Our new, pay-as-you-go functionality delivers a seamless transaction that charges linked accounts at the time of a fuel purchase. No need to worry about preloading funds; no need to remember when your invoice is due. It is all automatic.”
02:35 A supply chain visibility solutions provider has launched a new temperature monitoring solution tailored to the needs of the life sciences industry and logistics organizations.
Sensitech’s TempTale GEO X monitors temperature-sensitive medicines and vaccines transported globally across different modes, including air, ocean, rail and road.
Key features of the device include real-time location visibility, monitoring temperatures from minus 95 degrees C to 55 degrees C, global connectivity flight compliance, a screen to display live product quality information and built-in battery management. When combined with the SensiWatch platform and Lynx Logix digital solution, the TempTale GEO X provides real-time data and analytics for precise shipment visibility and alerting, automation of product accept-reject decisions, and acceleration of root-cause analysis and product release decisions that are critical in the life sciences cold chain.
