Overview

Quickly validate tractor-trailer connections with no additional hardware required. SkyBitz SkyMatch™ is the transportation industry’s first virtual trailer ID (VTID) solution. Quickly streamline operations and improve trailer security with SkyMatch automating the delivery of accurate and consistent trailer identification data to your integrated back-office and mobile applications.

Prevent costly operational errors

SkyMatch improves the accuracy and automation of trailer data so fleet management systems can:

  • Prevent mistakes by quickly notifying dispatchers and drivers if tractors are pulling the wrong  trailers.
  • Feed accurate trailer numbers to back-office systems when drivers pick up loaded or empty trailers from yards.
  • Identify if and when trailers are being used without proper permission.
  • Validate the accuracy of trailer numbers entered by drivers into ELDs and mobile apps.

Expand ROI with the SkyBitz SmartTrailer™ ecosystem

SkyBitz is solving industry challenges with an open platform that allows technology providers to integrate with SkyBitz telematics solutions to increase asset utilization, safety, and security.

SkyMatch works by sending VTID data to a mobile app from the next-generation SkyBitz Kinnect™ and Kuantum™ platforms through a wireless local Bluetooth network. The app compares the trailer number to what the driver should be pulling via a real-time integration with your transportation management system (TMS).

The fast validation process:

  • Improves customer service by preventing errors to plan and execute on-time deliveries.
  • Maximizes security by quickly flagging unauthorized trailer use. 
  • Increases data quality by validating trailer numbers that drivers enter in mobile workflow apps.
