Platform Science adds four PS Fleet tools for dispatch, driver coaching and delivery tracking

Platform Science, a connected vehicle platform, has added four products to its PS Fleet app suite: PS Command Center, PS Coach, PS Truck Tracker, and Vehicle Settings for PS Visual Intelligence. They let fleets spot problems earlier, scale safety coaching, share delivery tracking with customers, and control in-cab video settings from the back office. PS Command Center gives dispatchers one real-time dashboard of dispatch status, driver hours, and arrivals. PS Truck Tracker creates a secure, self-expiring link showing a single vehicle's live location, with no login needed. PS Coach lets small safety teams coach thousands of drivers and keep timestamped records. Vehicle Settings lets administrators tune detection sensitivity and privacy controls without asking Platform Science. Command Center and Truck Tracker are available now. Coach and Vehicle Settings are rolling out to select fleets.

Platform Science first to achieve Canadian ELD certification on Daimler Truck's factory-installed CTP2 platform

Platform Science has become the first company to achieve Canadian electronic logging device certification on Daimler Truck North America's factory-installed Common Telematics Platform 2. The certification enables fleets operating Freightliner and Western Star vehicles equipped with CTP2 to run integrated compliance solutions across the US and Canada without aftermarket hardware. CTP2 is DTNA's factory-installed telematics platform available in Fourth Generation Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner Plus series and Western Star X-Series vehicles. The certification allows fleets to use Platform Science's ELD natively, simplifying compliance for Canadian and cross-border operations. Built on Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle platform, the solution provides a unified system for compliance, telematics and driver applications. Canadian ELDs must be independently certified by third-party bodies accredited by the Minister of Transport and undergo annual retesting.
