Launch of the new IMT Web Application takes the transformation and digitisation of fleet management to the next level

Intermodal Telematics (IMT), specialist and market leader in full-fledged tank container and rail telematics solutions, launches its new telematics web application including new, state-of-the-art features that make managing rail and tank container fleets even easier. The design,  application flow and structure were redesigned with user-friendliness in mind. Years of experience, hundreds of user stories and extensive test sessions with customers formed the basis for this new release.

IMT’s dedicated software development & business intelligence team works continuously to provide shippers, leasing companies, and other partners in the tank container and rail car industry with unparalleled value through digital technologies and (big/AI) data-driven solutions. Bernard Heylen, Sales Director: “The new web application, with its outstanding UI/UX and data analytics tools, enables users to access and analyse their asset and cargo data, such as temperature and pressure sensitive goods – which need to be continuously monitored for quality and safety reasons – quickly and in a configurable way. IMT enables logistics companies to streamline their supply chain even more efficiently by means of settings that can be defined by the user, such as thresholds, alert notifications and dashboards.”

Bernard Heylen: “Following the general IMT values, the user-friendliness of the web application is key, so that despite the amount and complexity of the data, a user can quickly find his/her way around the system. Another starting point is the ‘management by exception’ principle; if certain values and thresholds are exceeded, an alert notification will go out to enable timely action. For example,when a certain temperature or pressure is exceeded during the transport of chemicals of food products. The new Event Notification Module allows a user to easily create, view, edit and delete notification subscriptions in one place. New options are also included for users to subscribe to pressure notifications, and notifications for temperatures of assets that have a Heating and Cooling Terminal.”

IMT has customers in several markets (tank container and rail cars) and segments (such as operators, leasing companies, cargo owners, manufacturers, etc.). Therefore, another starting point is also essential: flexibility for the user. A modular structure was therefore deliberately chosen, which allows a lot of flexibility to create different types of users with different permissions for access to different parts of the application and their functionalities.

Pedro Bilbao: “For customers that have larger fleets, there is another new feature released: the Asset Group Navigator (AGN). With the AGN, a user can create a hierarchy of business groups within which the entities such as assets, geozones, products and users within those asset groups can be conveniently grouped. In addition, the new release provides the support to add Custom Fields to entities like asset groups, assets, geozones or products. These business attributes could be defined for a whole account, or only in the scope of a particular asset group. A company could therefore set up certain business attributes for an end-customer that will only be displayed for the asset group of that specific customer. In addition to this, Custom Fields can be synchronised through the API, making integration with external systems even more seamless.”

With this powerful data-driven tool, IMT offers state-of-the-art and field-proven telematics solutions that provide users worldwide with the data they need to optimise and streamline their own logistics processes and those of their end customers reliably, quickly and securely.

The new Web Application offers customers a powerful digital tool for:

• Fleet management
• Predictive maintenance and condition based maintenance
• Cargo monitoring
• Transport management
• Powerful and flexible Notification system
