Kooner Fleet Management introduces FleetIQ to boost uptime and operational control
Kooner Fleet Management Solutions recently launched FleetIQ, a next-generation technology platform designed to help fleets streamline service management, reduce downtime, and make smarter data-driven decisions. The platform combines predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and real-time connectivity to unify operations across ERPs, CRMs, telematics, and routing systems, providing a single view of fleet health.
“FleetIQ is the next step in our mission to transform fleet management,” Gary Kooner, founder and CEO of Kooner Fleet Management Solutions, said. “Fleets today face growing pressure to control costs, improve uptime, and navigate complex regulatory requirements. FleetIQ was purpose-built to meet those challenges head-on, giving fleet operators actionable intelligence, predictive insights, and a seamless user experience that drives real-world results.”
Early deployments have shown 40% faster service response times, 30% less downtime, and 25% fewer unnecessary work orders, while FleetIQ’s predictive maintenance, automation, and mobile-first design keep people, platforms, and performance in sync across operations. Learn more…
Birdseye launches facility supervisor portal to improve yard visibility and reduce security costs
Birdseye Security Solutions launched the Birdseye Facility Supervisor (BFS) Portal, a real-time platform that gives logistics teams full visibility into yard operations, gate transactions, appointments, and inventory. The portal reduces manual checks, cuts average gate processing times by more than 50%, and provides structured data for operational decision-making while supporting integration with TMS, YMS, and WMS systems.
"Security comes from operational discipline," Milan Luketic, CTO at Birdseye, said. "We built the portal to align with customer protocols in real time while protecting their company data every step of the way."
The BFS Portal combines AI accuracy with human oversight to track trucks, trailers, and documentation with 99.99% accuracy.
BeyondTrucks launches AI-powered optimization to improve dispatch planning for fleets
BeyondTrucks recently launched a real-time, AI-powered optimization solution built into its transportation management system (TMS) to help fleets improve dispatch planning and adapt to dynamic operational conditions. The platform integrates proprietary TMS data with other systems, such as ELDs, fleet management tools, and driver tracking systems, allowing for faster decision-making, fewer manual overrides, and real-time re-optimization across drivers, tractors, trailers, routes, and schedules.
“Suboptimal dispatch planning decisions cost American truck fleets between $150 and $200 billion every year,” Hans Galland, CEO of BeyondTrucks, said. “Dispatchers either rely on tribal knowledge or struggle with optimization tools that don't fit their workflow. Plans become obsolete the moment they're created. And making adjustments requires either waiting days for engineering support or manually overriding the system—undermining the very efficiency the technology promised to deliver.”
The solution allows fleets to respond to last-minute changes, re-optimize load assignments on demand, and provide fleet managers and shippers with greater flexibility, efficiency, and resilience. Learn more…
