The Australian arm of global telematics provider Navman Wireless has acquired Melbourne-based Transtech Driven to strengthen further its driver fatigue management capability for customers in Australia and New Zealand.
Navman Wireless Australia and Transtech Driven first partnered in 2012 to address safety risks triggered by driver fatigue.
The Transtech Driven Sentinel system is integrated into the Navman Wireless GPS fleet management solution to enable business fleets to better manage and monitor adherence to their driver fatigue policies.
The acquisition extends Navman Wireless Australia’s commitment to providing technology that improves the productivity and safety of the Australasian Transport industry.
“Navman Wireless does plan to extend Transtech’s solutions to customers in New Zealand once the business integration is complete,” says Navman Wireless Asia Pacific vice president and managing director Ian Daniel.
“This means that New Zealand customers of Navman Wireless could benefit from solutions like the Sentinel system to better manage and monitor driver fatigue,” says Daniel.
“As workplace health and safety across the transport industry becomes increasingly regulated, vehicle safety is critical in maintaining the on-road duty of care for businesses,” he says.
Transtech Driven will operate as a business unit of Navman Wireless Australia and will continue working from its current Melbourne office.
