The case of XYZ Trucking is a testament to how adopting modern device management solutions can lead to improved operational efficiency and cost savings in the trucking industry.

weDaaS Benefits

WeGuard’s Mobile Device as a Service (WeDaaS) offers several advantages for trucking companies, helping them enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall operations. Here are the benefits of WeDaaS for trucking companies:

At WeGuard, we understand that time is an invaluable commodity for businesses. Our device as a service model is the solution.

Cost Efficiency - WeDaaS allows trucking companies to avoid the high upfront costs associated with purchasing and maintaining mobile devices. Instead, they can opt for a subscription model, which can be more cost-effective, especially for smaller and mid-sized companies.
Scalability - Trucking companies often need to adjust the number of mobile devices and services based on their fleet size and operational requirements. WeDaaS provides the flexibility to scale up or down as needed, making it easy to accommodate changing business needs.
Fleet Management - WeDaaS solutions can be integrated with fleet management systems, allowing trucking companies to track vehicle and driver performance, optimize routes, and monitor fuel efficiency. This data-driven approach can lead to cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
Security Management - Managing mobile devices and ensuring data security is a top priority for trucking companies. WeDaaS providers often include mobile device management (MDM) solutions to help with device security, compliance, and remote monitoring.
Real-time Information - Mobile devices provided through WeDaaS can provide real-time access to critical information, such as weather updates, traffic conditions, and route changes. This enables drivers to make informed decisions and adjust their routes to avoid delays.
Reduced Administrative Burden - WeDaaS providers can handle device procurement, configuration, and ongoing management, reducing the administrative burden on trucking companies and allowing them to focus on core operations.
Up-to-Date Hardware - Staying current with mobile device technology is crucial for trucking companies. WeDaaS ensures that drivers and staff have access to the latest and most capable devices, which can lead to improved performance and safety.
Maintenance and Support - WeDaaS providers typically offer device maintenance, support, and repair services. This ensures that devices are well-maintained, reducing the risk of breakdowns and minimizing downtime for drivers.
E-Log Compliance - The trucking industry is subject to electronic logging device (ELD) regulations to track driver hours. WeDaaS can include ELD-compliant solutions, helping trucking companies maintain compliance with these regulations.
Driver Productivity - Mobile devices play a crucial role in improving driver productivity and communication. WeDaaS can provide access to apps and tools that assist with navigation, communication, and compliance with industry regulations.
Device Management - Reduce the burden on IT department/personnel, by automating tasks like provisioning, configuring, updating, and troubleshooting devices.
Customization - WeDaaS allows trucking companies to customize their device packages to meet their specific needs, ensuring that drivers have the right tools and apps for their particular operations.
