Velociti helps GE set record for fastest deployment of VeriWise™ Asset Intelligence

Team effort with GE filled initial
Wal-Mart order @ 514 per day.

When GE needed help fulfilling its largest-ever VeriWise™ trailer tracking order (with Wal-Mart, for 46,000 units), it turned to the mobile installation and deployment specialists at Velociti Inc. The two companies' team approach resulted in the first 7,200 units being installed at 14 sites in 12 states - all in a record rate of 514 per day.

Although GE mechanics install VeriWise at the 100 branches of its Trailer Fleet Services business -- and Wal-Mart had its own mechanics as well -- the initial deployment had to be completed in a short period while the trailers were available.

GE's Veriwise™ Asset Intelligence System celebrates third year since introduction

 

GE is marking the third anniversary this month of the launch of its VeriWise™ Asset Intelligence system, one of the fastest-growing commercial vehicle telematics products on the market. Initially designed for truck trailers in the U.S. and Canada, VeriWise subsequently was launched in Europe, and will soon launch in Mexico.

Earlier this year, GE announced an order to equip Wal-Mart's entire 46,000 trailer fleet with VeriWise, which when completed this year will bring the total installed base to 75,000 units.

GE industry experts answer your fleet management questions
 
Ask an expert question: Can you provide an example of how GE's Trailer Fleet Services is able to help Private Fleets?
John Lima, VP - Private Fleet market, answers:
We just returned from the annual National Private Truck Council meeting where we were excited to share more about why the Wal-Mart private fleet chose GE for its trailer tracking solution.

The installation of our VeriWise™ trailer tracking on the Wal-Mart fleet is well underway, and when completed this year will make the world's leading retailer GE's largest trailer tracking customer. But this is just one example of the many solutions we can provide for private fleets - from financing to remarketing to maintenance.

Let me tell you about three very different real-life examples. Right now for instance we are working with a national retailer, a national building supply distributor, and a national equipment rental company.

GE's Trailer Fleet Services business has announced a pledge to have 10,000 of its rental trailers carry "Good Stuff, Trucks Bring It" decals to support the image campaign of the American Trucking Associations.

Bill Graves, President and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, noted, "This major support of the trucking industry's 'Good Stuff, Trucks Bring It' image campaign by GE's Trailer Fleet Services business is exactly what we need to keep the momentum going-even if we have to do it one truck at a time, one trailer at a time, one driver at a time. We're going to let America know that we're good people doing good work, and GE's assistance is helping us make that happen in a big way."
