Shell expanding its telematics offerings
Shell Fleet Solutions, a subsidiary of Shell Oil, has been in the fuel card business for more than 30 years in the United States. Last month the company expanded with a new Shell Telematics offering that comes with a fully compliant electronic logging device (ELD).
Shell Telematics uses a Geotab device in the vehicle to capture data for reporting driver behavior and vehicle performance. The cloud-based Geotab platform works with all vehicle classes and “there are so many different use cases,” said Tim Murray, sales director at Shell Fleet Solutions.
Shell Telematics is powered by Geotab and comes with a fully compliant ELD.The primary use cases are saving fuel and improving safety and operational efficiency, he noted. Shell Telematics gives fleets dedicated account managers to tailor the fuel card and telematics offerings to their needs. The account managers stay with customers for the life of the contract, Murray said.

Great Quarter, Guys is typically headlined by lively debate between Andrew Cox and Seth Holm, but on this special live session for FreightWaves Global Supply Chain Week, Kevin Hill took Holm’s co-host spot to play “you care or nah?” They followed the debate with interviews from the CEO of ZUUM Transportation and two leaders of Home Depot.
First up, Walmart’s earnings report was released showing same store sales up 8% in the fourth quarter, but Hill doesn’t care. Cox does care, noting “Walmart is America’s largest retailer,” but said growth is decelerating as pandemic buying slowly trickles off.
