Control and Connect your fleet with Bridge

Control and Connect your fleet with Bridge

Bridge is GoMetroโ€™s integrated telematics and fleet management platform, developed to enhance real-time oversight and control of vehicles, assets, and transport subcontractors.

With features and tools developed to power data insights, enable complete asset overwatch, and create real-time alerts, Bridge brings the digital transformation advantage to a fleet business. This is all consolidated into a user-friendly dashboard on a single screen, delivering excellent real-time live asset tracking and interactive mapping.

Bridge allows seamless shareability while retaining excellent security. This is the power of GoMetroโ€™s Bridge platform: allowing multiple connections in your transport and fleet ecosystem to view the same asset and live tracking journey in real-time.

Bridge offers customisable access control and shareable asset tracking, while retaining system integrity and driver safety. You choose and set the time duration for sharing a specific asset tracking journey. GoMetroโ€™s operational support team can assist in managing asset track sharing for smooth inter-organisational networking with the Auto Asset sharing service.

Another powerful Bridge feature is Geofence, which allows the easy building of virtual boundaries where required and the tracking of fleet asset entries or exits. These customisable Bridge Geofences send an alert when vehicles and assets enter a collection or delivery area, or venture into risk zones where they are not supposed to be. Geofences are ideal for controlling vehicle risk on off-highway sites like mines, quarries, construction projects, or sensitive agricultural areas.

Bridge Geofence also has a Polygon function to align alert zones with real-world boundaries like fences, walls, unidirectional entrances/exits, temporary barriers, and road works.

Creeping dwell times degrade fleet efficiency and increase scheduling pressure on drivers, leading to speeding and/or reckless driving. Dwell time risks can be reduced by deploying Geofenceโ€™s Dwell Alerts to create loitering limits for vehicles in zones that matter. An alert will notify you if an asset exceeds its maximum allowable dwell time. The benefits of Geofence Dwell Alerts include less wasteful fuel burn from idling engines during excessive dwell times, and less chance of a journey falling behind schedule because of tardy loading and unloading.

A fleetโ€™s journey history can reveal valuable insights that help plan better routes and schedules, while reducing risk. Bridge Replayโ€™s interactive mapping and customisable time frame data can resolve driver or subcontractor disputes with detailed vehicle movement data. This in turn lowers the risk of route deviations, unauthorised passengers, and driver compliance issues related to route deviations and reckless driving.

Data can redefine fleet management and freight contracting, powering better efficiencies, enhancing trust and reducing operational risk. The Bridge platform enables real-time data streaming via WebSocket integration, creating a valuable data source for diverse solutions and business needs. With Bridgeโ€™s excellent data streaming architecture, you can create bespoke dashboards and data visualisation โ€“ all featuring live analytics to develop advanced reporting.

Gain oversight and access to the insights and fleet performance metrics that matter to your business, instead of trying to understand and analyse unstructured and messy data. Transform your fleet operations with integrated data management, real-time asset awareness, and advanced reporting โ€“ all on a single screen, with GoMetroโ€™s Bridge platform.
