Targa Telematics has unveiled its first solutions after the acquisition of Viasat, expanding its portfolio of offerings for the transportation and logistics market.

The new Viasat Fleet Start and Advanced solutions are the first Viasat solutions integrated with Targa Telematics’ IoT platform

Developed for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, the new Viasat Fleet Start and Advanced solutions are the first Viasat solutions integrated with Targa Telematics’ IoT platform, providing advanced fleet management solutions.

Viasat Fleet Start and Advanced convert real-time data into fleet management services that enable costs reduction, processes improvement and protection against theft or misuse through Stolen Vehicle Tracking. They also allow users to view reports on driving style and accidents. The Viasat Fleet Advanced version includes a maintenance management function and monitoring of fleet fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The onboard devices are quick to install and non-invasive, ensuring fleet productivity is not impacted.

Launched less than a year after Targa closed its acquisition of Viasat, the new services confirm the company’s commitment to extend its international reach and strengthen its presence in existing markets.

Alberto Falcione, vice president for sales of Targa Telematics, said: “Viasat Fleet Start and Advanced are the result of the integration of Viasat solutions into the Targa Telematics technology platform. This integration, accomplished in less than a year after the acquisition, was made possible by the harmony and synergy between the sales and Go to Market teams, who have worked together to provide a highly innovative solution. On the one hand, we have benefited from the expertise in the logistics and transportation sectors. On the other hand, technological innovation has been constantly driven by an ongoing commitment to R&D, allowing us to enrich Viasat solutions with new features.”

Fleet Start and Advanced solutions provide an immediate fleet overview, identifying efficiency opportunities within seconds through a web-based platform; if necessary, data streams can be integrated with the customer’s IT systems or existing platforms, enabling automation of activities and the billing process.
