关于客户
Good Excavating & Hauling, LLC. is a Northern Indiana-based company founded in 1991 by John and Denise Good. Initially established as an excavating operation, the company became an LLC in 2001 and expanded its services over the years. In 2007, Brenna Goshert, the daughter of the founders, joined as the Director of Administration, leading to the addition of over-the-road trucking services. Starting with a single truck, the company has grown significantly, now operating eight trucks, 12 trailers, and collaborating with contracted companies. They offer for-hire trucking services across 48 states, hauling dry freight, refrigerated goods, and bagged animal feed, along with tanker services. The company has expanded its workforce from three to six full-time office workers, dedicating most of their time to 12 main-haul customers.
挑战
Good Excavating & Hauling, LLC. faced challenges as they began to outgrow their paper-based system. The company struggled with record-keeping and tracking numbers, which was becoming increasingly difficult as they expanded their operations. Brenna Goshert, the Director of Administration, was spending significant hours on manual labor to ensure accurate numbers. The company realized the need for a more efficient system to manage their growing fleet and operations. Brenna sought recommendations from peers and learned about Prophesy Dispatch from Tom Farms, LLC., which had experienced success with the system.
解决方案
To address their challenges, Good Excavating & Hauling, LLC. adopted Prophesy OnDemand software. Brenna and her father, John, participated in a live demonstration of the software and quickly decided it was the right solution for their growing company. After subscribing to Prophesy OnDemand, Brenna underwent two training sessions with Prophesy’s Training and Implementation Consultants to tailor the system to the company's needs. The first session involved transferring all necessary information to QuickBooks. Brenna also participated in complimentary group training sessions to learn how to effectively set up drivers and carriers in Prophesy OnDemand. Currently, the company uses the Prophesy OnDemand Carrier version with QuickBooks integration and the IFTA Fuel Tax reporting module.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
