Powered by artificial intelligence, TN360 delivers telematics functionalities in real-time, providing businesses with simplified, smart, predictive and actionable insights.
TN360 uses a scalable cloud ecosystem that connects data from sensors, cameras, mobile and third-party applications in real time and translates raw signals into context.
The electronic RUC system uses an NZTA-approved Electronic Distance Recorder to automate the purchase and display of Road User Charges (RUC) licences. The system can cover everything from light fleet up to individual trailers - independent of the tractor/truck unit. It also captures private road and off-road use of vehicles and equipment to automatically populate forms for RUC rebates.
The stand will feature case studies on agricultural businesses, such as Cambridge based Professional Farm Services, that have used the Teletrac Navman system to manage operations, compliance, health and safety, customer communications, administration and more.
