Ridgefield Park, NJ \u2013 August 1, 2019 \u2014 <\/strong>Samsung Electronics America<\/strong> and truckload carrier company Paper Transport, Inc.<\/a> today announced the successful implementation of digital solutions using Samsung\u2019s tablet technology<\/a> across Paper Transport\u2019s trucking fleet. Wisconsin-based Paper Transport \u2013 which has nearly 900 truck drivers in the field \u2013 modernized its fleet by deploying Samsung tablets with essential applications, including hours-of-service logging, route optimization, driver-to-driver communications and training tools that transformed how the company trains its workforce.<\/p>\n

Paper Transport\u2019s mobile solution for its fleet included deployment of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2<\/a>\u2014a ruggedized tablet tailor-made to withstand harsh conditions. This enabled Paper Transport to upgrade its antiquated in-cab system to a newly digitized, real-time fleet management solution that includes a new Learning Management System designed to improve driver education, training and support. As a result, Paper Transport has seen improved driver recruitment, engagement and retention \u2013 essential elements for success in a fleet management operation.<\/p>\n

Fleet Training Transformation<\/span><\/h3>\n

By deploying the new tablets in truck cabs, Paper Transport can more effectively deliver fleet-wide training to its drivers\u2014most of whom are remote\u2014and offer a simpler way to remain up to date on the latest compliance mandates and safety guidelines. Moreover, Paper Transport\u2019s drivers gain access to the company\u2019s Learning Management System, which provides a self-educating method of training that is accessible from anywhere. Drivers have the ability to ask questions in real-time and engage in a virtual classroom format through face-to-face video, as well as audio and text communications.<\/p>\n

The tablets also enable Paper Transport to provide their truck driving fleet a way to enjoy their personal time. During breaks, they can choose from a pre-approved suite of games for entertainment, enabling them to unwind before getting back on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the Samsung implementation, we\u2019ve seen driver engagement increase nearly four times, and turnover has reduced nearly 10 percent \u2013 even as we see 19% growth year over year,\u201d said Peter Covach, Director of Information Technology at Paper Transport<\/strong>. \u201cThe ruggedized Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 tablet is essential technology for an industry like fleet management and transportation \u2013 and it is a key tool in our digital transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Business-Ready Devices<\/span><\/h3>\n

To ensure consistency in device management, including updates, Paper Transport implemented a company-wide mobile device management (MDM) policy using Samsung Knox<\/a> security APIs. Paper Transport also partnered with Omnitracs, LLC<\/a>, a global pioneer in fleet management solutions to transportation and logistics companies, to incorporate workflow management and electronic logging device (ELD) compliance software on the Samsung tablets. Samsung\u2019s Android-driven open architecture allowed Paper Transport to easily import the apps needed to track driver scorecard progress on factors such as speed and safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamsung\u2019s enterprise tablet solutions are designed with the business user in mind, and we\u2019re excited to help Paper Transport equip their fleet with a solution that not only improves driver experiences but also assists in driver retention,\u201d said Taher Behbehani, Senior VP and General Manager of Mobile B2B, Samsung Electronics America, Inc<\/strong>. \u201cAs the digital transformation of business accelerates, mobile workers in the transportation industry can benefit from solutions that are purpose-built to fit specific enterprise needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Samsung Tablets<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Tab Active2 is MIL-STD-810-certified[1] \u2013 the military standard for durability during excessive pressure, temperatures, vibrations and drops \u2013 and IP68-rated for water[2] and dust resistance. Physical buttons are included for easy operation with work gloves, and the display can be used while wet, enabling access in rainy or inclement weather. This is ideal for fleet management, where Paper Transport drivers can use the device in the rougher environment of their truck cab, or while working outside during extreme conditions. For instance, drivers can use the tablet to more easily handle maintenance tasks outside their truck by reporting issues through sharing photos of the vehicle, and gathering feedback from maintenance staff.<\/h6>\n
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 is available in the U.S. through Samsung\u2019s IT reseller partner channel (both Wi-Fi and LTE versions). For more information and full product specifications on the Tab Active2, visit here<\/a>.<\/h6>\n
