This year’s winners in the following 6 categories include:
Analytics Achievers – Best in Data Utilization: Master Fleet, LLC
After identifying a need for more robust reporting capabilities, Master Fleet built a complete Business Intelligence dashboard system using Power BI within Trimble’s TMT solution to more quickly find answers to the questions that their operations staff previously struggled to determine. Today, staff utilizes dashboards that provide at-a-glance reporting on staff workflows, status updates, rates and efficiency comparisons, underperforming tickets, inventory turnover and more.

To address the challenge of ensuring that drivers are able to clear cross-border customs in a timely manner, Bison Transport utilized several Trimble Enterprise solutions to automate many of the manual processes required to ensure compliance with government regulations and efficient crossing. After launching an initiative to verify data cleanliness, Bison adopted the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) systems submission process through TMW E-Manifest, as well as utilizing driver, trailer and customer profiles in TMW Operations, ultimately allowing it to achieve an average success rate of 89% automation of processes for clearing loads at the border.
