Solution
Netcorp GPS already had a thriving presence in the people moving industry, and was impressed with the track record Telstra had in assisting them deliver these solutions. This made Telstra a top-of-mind choice for a technology partner. To ensure Netcorp GPS’ new solution thrived, Telstra was able to deliver a tailor-made technology solution incorporating Samsung tablets, running a Mobile Managed Device (MDM) solution for easier device management, connected to the Telstra national mobile network.
With best-of-breed technology and a scalable roll-out model, Netcorp GPS was able to integrate Telstra’s leading network services and leverage its tech partnerships to deliver the potential of their heavy-vehicle fleet management solution.
“Telstra empowered us to deliver our solution using only the best mobile coverage and a tailored technology solution to suit our customers. Telstra also found new ways of working with us so we could scale the solution as we needed to - ordering hardware and services as demand for our solution grows.”
Anthony La Malfa, Managing Director at Netcorp GPS.
Outcome
Netcorp GPS have assigned their first customer for this solution with a fleet of over 600 trucks.
“Telstra has worked with us to get our solution up and running. Everything works, and it’s a great competitive advantage to have Telstra as our partner because our customers are confident with Telstra’s extensive network coverage,” Anthony La Malfa, Managing Director at Netcorp GPS. “When it comes to the IoT space and assets moving around the country, reliable network coverage from Telstra ensures that we send data in real-time and help our product fulfil its promise to customers.” “We are also looking into diversifying into other areas of IoT administration and monitoring, like non-vehicle assets. Now that we have evolved into such a flexible platform, we want to work with Telstra for future opportunities, and if possible, lend our own expertise with their future products and services,” added Anthony.
