Telematics giant Webfleet Solutions has partnered with navigation specialist TomTom to launch a new all-in-one solution for both professional drivers and fleets to help deal with everyday challenges.

The new Webfleet Work App and TomTom Go Fleet App bring the best from both companies: workforce management features, navigation for all vehicle types, up-to-date maps with live traffic information, reliable ETAs etc

The pooled expertise from the two firms creates a single integrated tool for drivers to address operational issues, including route compliance, on-time deliveries and safety management – all via a mobile device. 

The new Webfleet Work App and TomTom Go Fleet App bring the best from both companies: workforce management features, navigation for all vehicle types, up-to-date maps with live traffic information, reliable ETAs and more.  

The Webfleet Work App gives access to a wide range of workforce management features, including locating vehicles, logging working times, registering drivers, setting trip modes, managing orders and schedules and staying in touch with the back office via two-way communication.    

Integrated within it is TomTom Go Fleet, which provides drivers with up-to-date maps with latest traffic and navigation information, while giving fleet managers real-time visibility of their current ETA and destination.  

By using the Webfleet Work App in conjunction with TomTom Go Fleet, drivers get professional navigation for all types of vehicles, including availability of advanced truck routing and dedicated points of interest (POIs) for large vehicles such as parking and fuel stations.  

It’s part of ongoing work between the two firms. Webfleet Solutions was formerly known as TomTom Telematics and part of the TomTom business until April 2019 when it was acquired by Bridgestone Europe, to reinforce its move into mobility solutions. The two business remain collaborative, supporting their visions for a sustainable future of mobility.  

Paul Verheijen, vice president product management at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, commented: “Webfleet Work App is the perfect solution for businesses and drivers who want to leverage their existing mobile devices to effectively manage day-to-day tasks. Set-up and onboarding are quick and easy, allowing great flexibility with an intuitive user interface, making it a perfect combination with the TomTom Go Fleet app. Together we can offer even greater value to our customers providing an integrated solution.” 

Mike Schoofs, managing director at TomTom Enterprise, added: “Simplifying location technology and helping to solve challenges for drivers has always been at the heart of TomTom. 

“It’s exciting to work with partners who have similar goals as us, like Webfleet Solutions. This collaboration has enabled both companies to integrate what they do best into one solution for professional drivers.” 

The Webfleet Work App is now available for all Webfleet Solutions customers who have a compliant Link tracking device installed, and TomTom Go Fleet is available as an additional service to Webfleet Solutions customers only. The option for mobile tracking – without any hardware installation necessary – will be available in the coming months.
