GoMetro builds your virtual fleet

From its founding in 2012, GoMetro has remained true to its mission to enhance the movement of people and goods, with better IoT. GoMetro’s founder and CEO, Justin Coetzee, is an engineer who recognised the importance of devices and integrated data.

Globally experienced, GoMetro worked on diverse mobility and logistics data projects, from Mexico to the United States and Europe, before launching its Bridge telematics aggregation platform in 2022.

GoMetro’s Bridge does what carrier companies and transport contractors need an advanced telematics platform to do – create virtual fleets with consolidated telematics data.

Data is the 21st century’s digital gold, but many carriers risk becoming the victims of outdated data management. Global daily data production is estimated at 400mn terabytes daily. If you physically tried to stack that volume of daily data in DVD form, your tower of 1.6bn DVDs would be more than 90km tall, well beyond the stratosphere – literally.

Fleet managers are at risk of drowning in the volume of diverse data flooding their networks and devices. GoMetro’s Bridge consolidates fleet and subcontractor data, building real-time visibility and efficiency, while preventing unstructured and unshaped data from flooding your operations and creating costly misinterpretation.

Trying to control primary fleets and subcontractors with poor mobile network coverage, dropped calls, and messy Excel spreadsheets is wildly inefficient. Bridge enables true digital transformation for your fleet management, evolving your business beyond all these legacy layers of outdated communication, issue resolution, and customer frustration.

Bridge consolidates your data sources to create a unified telematics dashboard with real-time data and actionable insights: everything about your fleet, on one screen. With a Bridge-networked virtual fleet, you can react to route real-time emergencies and understand core data that matters, such as fuel spending, recurring maintenance issues, tyre health, and driver performance.

Bridge removes the risk of overpromising and under-delivering. Issues in the virtual fleet are immediately flagged and visible, ensuring you can manage challenges and changes to a schedule transparently. Data integration and fleet visibility are becoming a compliance requirement between large fleet customers and subcontractors, with Bridge being the ideal solution for both.

South Africa’s variable road conditions and delivery environment mean that real-time alerts and virtual fleet oversight are often the difference between managing an issue and suffering a crisis. This is why GoMetro developed ConnecTyre, to complement Bridge.

An integrated tyre pressure monitoring system, powered by rim-mounted sensors, ConnecTyre signals tyre health status and pressure alerts to a driver’s dashboard and your control centre staff. With nearly one in four breakdowns being tyre related, ConnecTyre mitigates the costly breakdowns triggered by tyre failure with a proven solution.

The more you know, the more you can control. From the integrity of GoMetro’s Bridge platform to our integration and configuration support, we create a solution that makes everyone in your business a real-time decision-maker. Bridge’s dashboard creates easily viewable insights and actionable data of your virtual fleet across all devices.

The demand for South African road freight is only increasing. More frequency and complexity mean greater revenue opportunities if your virtual fleet and subcontractors are connected, integrated, visible, and responsive.

You don’t need a data science degree to make that happen. You need Bridge. Reach out to the GoMetro team for your demo and free 30-day trial, to create a virtual fleet that saves you real money.
