09/08/2023 | by 3PL Systems

Emerging as the remedy, TextLocate provides non-intrusive text-based updates. Often dubbed ‘Slack for truck drivers,’ the platform facilitates streamlined communication via a dashboard or API.

This innovation addresses the prevalent issues of drivers becoming nonresponsive or disabling tracking features. Right after its launch, the swift acquisition of two dedicated customers attests to TextLocate’s avant-garde approach. Join us to discover how Rogers ingeniously turned a mere want into an industry-changing solution.
