Transics International, Europe’s leading player in high-end fleet management solutions for the transport and logistics sector, today announced a commercial partnership with Cargobull Telematics, a subsidiary of the renowned Schmitz Cargobull trailer manufacturer. The two companies will bundle their expertise and experience in state-of-the-art management solutions for trucks and trailers, respectively, to develop a tightly-integrated set of fleet management and asset monitoring solutions.
Over the past few years, Schmitz Cargobull has experienced impressive growth.

Combined truck and trailer expertise
Schmitz Cargobull and Cargobull Telematics share lots of common values with Transics: a constant quest for innovation and high quality and an unremitting drive to deliver added-value solutions that provide a tangible return on investment. This dedication, combined with years’ of experience and deep-rooted expertise have made both players market leaders in the trailer and truck markets, respectively, and tech-benchmark beacons in the world of fleet management solutions. By teaming up, Transics and Cargobull Telematics aim to provide their joint customers with increased added value, and approach new customers with an all-in-one offering. Key to the success of the cooperation will be the total integration of the trailer information in Transics’ back-office application, thereby providing a real-time update on all remote assets, trucks and trailers, in a single overview.
Joint vision and commitment
