Background
A European leader in full truckload transportation operates over 4,000 trucks and utilizes an on-board system with an extensive array of telemetric sensors to collect and store data about each vehicle. To be able to effectively leverage such a massive amount of data to drive business decisions, the company needed a solution to feed the data into a data warehouse, and from there into a tool that would enable analysis, feedback and decision-making.
