Terion and Add On Systems, two Great Plains software companies that participate in the market for OS/400-based trucking systems, have completed the first stage of a joint development project to integrate their respective products using Web services, they announced this week.

The integration involves FleetView, the CDMA- and GPS-based trailer-tracking system offered by Terion of Plano, Texas, and the Trailer Monitoring and Management (TMMi) application from Add On System, which is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. As a result of the integration, a trucking company's OS/400-based dispatch system can now be automatically hooked up to the tractor's mobile communication system, thereby simplifying the process of tracking a trailer for usage, location, history, or status.

"The joint development effort between Terion and Add On Systems has been hugely successful in leveraging the benefits of both technologies," says Terion president and CEO, Ken Cranston. "This most recent collaboration increases our products' flexibility, speeds the transfer of information from trailer to dispatcher, and puts new tools in the hands of drivers that allow them to be more efficient and increase their revenue miles."
