Trimble Transportation (TMW.Suite, PeopleNet, Trimble Maps) is widely deployed across large US OTR fleets with deep dispatch and route-aware reporting. Vethy parking AC integration with Trimble surfaces parking-AC run-hours and ROI alongside dispatch, hours-of-service, and route data inside the Trimble platform.

Why Trimble Transportation fleets retrofit Vethy parking AC

Trimble Transportation fleets typically run mature data programs on idle time, fuel economy, driver behaviour, and DEF/DPF events. The same data infrastructure that justifies a Trimble Transportation subscription is exactly what justifies parking AC retrofit: every saved idle hour is already measured per-tractor per-day in large US OTR fleet markets operations, so the parking-AC payback case can be built directly from the existing Trimble Transportation dataset without bolt-on instrumentation. Fleets running Trimble Transportation typically see the cleanest pre/post baselines and the shortest internal approval cycles for Vethy retrofit programs.

Integration approach with Trimble Transportation

Vethy parking AC integrates with Trimble Transportation via the Trimble Transportation API set spanning TMW.Suite (dispatch/TMS), PeopleNet (mobile/ELD), and Trimble Maps (route). Vethy events publish to the appropriate Trimble surface with serial-number-to-vehicle-ID mapping. The integration is read-mostly from Vethy to the fleet's Trimble Transportation tenant: Vethy run-hours, ambient temperature, cabin temperature setpoint, compressor cycle count, battery SOC, and any service alerts are surfaced as custom data items inside the Trimble Transportation tractor record. Trimble Transportation's native alerting, dashboards, and reports then operate on Vethy data the same way they operate on engine, fuel, DEF, and DPF data. No new dashboard product is required — Vethy data joins the fleet's existing operational view.

KPIs to report once Vethy is live on Trimble Transportation

Recommended Trimble Transportation report set after Vethy rollout: (1) per-tractor Vethy run-hours by route segment from Trimble Maps, (2) idle-hour reduction vs the 90-day Trimble pre-install baseline, (3) fuel cost reduction by lane, (4) DPF regen interval shift, (5) Vethy uptime and alerts on the dispatch dashboard. These KPIs typically reach steady state 60-90 days after install for OTR fleets in large US OTR fleet markets and 30-45 days for regional fleets with denser duty cycles. The same KPIs feed into ESG/SmartWay/CSRD reporting (see the sustainability hub) and into the fleet retention dashboard (see driver wellbeing hub).

Data engineering and ETL detail

For fleets with internal data engineering teams or analytics partners: Vethy events flow via the Trimble Transportation API with route-segment joins from Trimble Maps. Pre/post idle baselines join Vethy install date to PeopleNet idle records. Route-aware reporting allows fleets to identify which lanes deliver highest parking-AC ROI and optimise spec-out of new tractor orders accordingly. Vethy can deliver historical backfill on request for fleets that retrofit existing tractors mid-life, so the Trimble Transportation dashboard shows like-for-like pre/post comparison from day one. Vethy customer success works with the fleet's analytics owner to validate joins, units, and time zones during the first 30 days of rollout.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vethy integrate with Trimble Transportation (TMW.Suite, PeopleNet, Trimble Maps)?

Yes — Vethy publishes events via the Trimble Transportation API set, surfacing run-hours, idle reduction, fuel savings, and route-aware reporting inside TMW.Suite dispatch, PeopleNet mobile, and Trimble Maps route surfaces.

Is custom dashboard development required?

No — Vethy data is surfaced as custom data items inside the Trimble Transportation (TMW.Suite, PeopleNet, Trimble Maps) tractor record. Trimble Transportation (TMW.Suite, PeopleNet, Trimble Maps)'s native alerting, dashboards, and reports then operate on Vethy data the same way they operate on engine, fuel, DEF, and DPF data.

What KPIs should I track first?

Start with per-tractor Vethy run-hours by route segment from Trimble Maps, idle-hour reduction vs Trimble 90-day baseline, fuel-cost reduction by lane, DPF regen interval shift, and dispatch dashboard uptime/alerts.

How long until KPIs reach steady state?

Typically 60-90 days after install for OTR fleets and 30-45 days for regional fleets. Vethy customer success works with the fleet's analytics owner during the first 30 days to validate joins, units, and time zones.
