Business Wire
New partnership will allow school districts to order IC Bus
vehicles with dealer-installed Tyler Telematic GPS, helping
districts improve vehicle uptime and save money
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) is partnering with IC Bus™,
a provider of K-12 transportation vehicles and a subsidiary of
Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) to provide
telematics products and services. The new relationship means school
districts and bus contractors ordering IC Bus vehicles can choose
to have the Tyler Telematic GPS™ system dealer-installed, saving
the expense and inconvenience of hiring their own installers after
newly ordered vehicles are delivered.
The integration partnership is part of Navistar’s Connected
Vehicle program for its IC Bus line of business. The companies will
integrate key software and hardware that help school districts
realize measurable ROI by receiving a complete view of vehicle,
driver and engine performance data.
Through the new relationship, IC Bus dealers will install an
integrated solution that combines Navistar’s OnCommand™ Connection
system with Tyler Telematic GPS to deliver diagnostic-related data
as easy-to-understand vehicle health reports. Tyler’s solution,
which incorporates Geotab® telematic GPS hardware, provides
actionable data focused on driving cost savings in four operational
areas: driver training and risk management; productivity; fleet
maintenance; and regulatory compliance. Tyler will also be
connecting Versatrans® users with the OnCommand Connection
solution.
Visibility into the operational health of a district’s school
bus fleet empowers the district to better understand the severity
of vehicle issues and determine the appropriate actions, which
support the goal of increased vehicle uptime.
“OnCommand Connection has been an industry-leading remote
diagnostic solution and we are now excited to bring this offering
tailored for the school bus market to help our customers keep their
buses on time and bring down maintenance costs,” said Navistar Vice
President and General Manager Mike Cerilli. “Tyler is a leading
K-12 technology provider and we are excited to introduce them as a
partner in this market. The Tyler partnership not only allows our
customers to access OnCommand Connection but also provides access
to the other school solutions that Tyler offers in areas such as
routing, student tracking and more.”
“We’re pleased to work with Navistar, not only because
dealer-installed telematics is convenient for our clients, but
because like Tyler, Navistar wants to help school districts get the
most from their school bus fleet investments by keeping vehicles in
service and out of the shop,” said Ted Thien, senior vice president
and general manager of Tyler’s Versatrans solution. “Coupling Tyler
Telematic GPS with Navistar vehicles and systems creates value for
our clients. This partnership allows them to take delivery of
school buses with the telematics unit already installed, helping
districts to get new buses into service weeks sooner than if the
districts have to install the systems themselves.”
