Open Visibility Network was created to promote the concept that collaboration between supply chain technology vendors is necessary. Supply chains are more interconnected than ever before, and that trend is only accelerating. Frequently, the journey encompasses multiple modes of transportation across multiple geographies, with multiple stakeholders being responsible for the on-time, in-full transportation of goods. In order to move goods from origin to destination in the most efficient manner, collaboration is a must. By working in collaboration and synchronizing, each party strives to support end-to-end visibility. Many benefits result from the level of transparency and cooperation driven by OVN, including an optimized supply chain, increased transparency for customers, access to other open visibility providers, and an accelerated journey to partnerships and other collaborations.
TruckerCloud is a telematics and ELD data company that provides the fastest and easiest way for carriers to access this data within their technology and services ecosystem. The newest member of the OVN will provide mutual customers with one-stop API integration to 30+ telematics and ELD data providers—to optimize carrier business efficiency. This will enable carriers to instantly connect their ELD data with their technology and service providers, and use telematics data to improve efficiencies by connecting this data to their fleet management system, insurers, fuel cards, and payment providers. In addition to these business efficiencies, carriers can also provide real-time load visibility into shipping and delivery.
“We’re excited to join the Open Visibility Network,” says Spencer Mitchell, CEO of TruckerCloud. “Open visibility is a major driver of logistics innovation and efficiency, in which OVN is a major contributor. By joining OVN, TruckerCloud will play a role in the discussion regarding how open visibility encourages innovation—while promoting the stewardship and integrity of data-sharing principles.”
“While OVN is still nascent, technology providers increasingly agree that end-to-end visibility across all geographies and modes of transportation is a necessary ingredient to continuously optimize supply chains,” said Krenar Komoni, CEO & Founder of Tive and founding member of OVN. “As more members join and participate via data and open APIs, we can combine and complement data point inputs—and move closer to 100% visibility for the end customers around the globe. Customer success remains our collective northern star, and OVN enhances our individual capabilities to deliver on that mission.”
OVN looks forward to onboarding new cutting-edge data insights providers. Learn more about this rapidly-growing network at www.openvisibility.com or by emailing at [email protected].
