Conclusion: 6 Months of LSVA at Planzer
6 Months of LSVA III at Planzer – Initial Insights from Real-World Experience
After half a year of our new LSVA III solution being in production at Planzer, our CEO Armin Marty met with Patrick Gnepf (project manager at Planzer) to discuss the experience.
Patrick closely oversaw the implementation and offers a clear summary.
The key insights from Planzer’s perspective:
🚛 Physical trailer detection is crucial:
Our decision to use physical detection was absolutely the right one. Without this safeguard, we’d be facing a problem today. The separation—hardware for detection, Bluetooth for identification—ensures that the process remains stable even in the event of a transmitter failure or when dealing with third-party trailers.
👨🔧Our drivers can focus on what matters most:
Whereas in the past, drivers had to interact with the Emotach during every coupling process—which carried a certain risk of data entry errors—today’s process is fully automated. This significantly reduces the workload for drivers, and their satisfaction is correspondingly high.
🔍Transparency & Controlling at a New Level:
Through reporting, we link up-to-date information directly with the billing records. The reconciliation of telematics and billing data gives us a level of transparency we didn’t have before. Administrative effort has been reduced to a minimum.
Looking Ahead:
For Planzer, this is just the beginning. The new database now makes it possible to manage processes even more precisely, consolidate operational data, and identify opportunities for optimization that go far beyond mere billing.
A big thank you to Patrick and the entire Planzer team for their trust and collaborative partnership!
