Netradyne Announces Partnership with Boyle Transportation

Netradyne, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing focusing on driver and fleet safety, announced a partnership with Boyle Transportation, a specialized transportation logistics provider for life sciences and defense companies. Through the partnership, Boyle Transportation will deploy Netradyne's vision-based Driver•i safety camera platform throughout its fleet of vehicles.

Headquartered in Billerica, MA, Boyle Transportation applies comprehensive, proactive systems to ensure the safe and secure transport of critical cargo. Boyle Transportation specializes in transporting sensitive commodities for the U.S. military and life-saving medicine for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Notably, Boyle was one of the first to transport the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer's Global Supply manufacturing plant to distribution points across the country with their specialized temperature-controlled trucks.

In 2021, Boyle was the first carrier to achieve ISO 14001:2015 certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS) in North America and was also awarded the National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA) Distinguished Service Award. They have been recognized as one of the 20 "Best Fleets to Drive For" by TCA and Carrier's Edge for eight years in a row, the "Overall Best Fleet" in the smaller fleet category in 2021 and 2020, and a "Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation" by Women in Trucking.

Boyle Transportation selected Driver•i primarily for its reliability and heavy focus on improvement and positive recognition. They also use Driver•iHubX for four additional camera views around the vehicle's exterior. Due to the sensitive nature of their shipments, Boyle requires additional side cameras crucial to their operations.

"Netradyne is very Driver-centric; it's refreshing to have a system that recognizes positive driving behavior, not just highlighting areas of improvement," said Michael Lasko, Director of EHS and Quality, Boyle Transportation, "The Driver•i app puts our drivers in control; they can check their metrics and GreenZone score. That data is then presented to our safety department in an actionable way, which helps us determine how to provide the best possible assistance to our professional drivers. Driver•i enables us to identify individual training needs to help our drivers further develop their skills."

Lasko went on to say, Aside from a strong compensation package, drivers want to know they are supported the most. Protecting our drivers, reducing claims, and proving a way to accurately identify root causes -- that's where Netradyne hits a grand slam for us.

"We're proud to partner with a first-class service provider like Boyle Transportation, Driver•i aligns perfectly with Boyle's commitment to providing its drivers with the very best tools and technology to do their job safely, reliably, and effectively."

AIT Worldwide Logistics Acquires Global Transport Solutions Group

Business Wire | February 05, 2024

AIT Worldwide Logistics, one of the world’s leaders in global supply chain solutions, has acquired Global Transport Solutions Group (GTS), a prominent international freight forwarder specializing in time-critical marine spare parts logistics. Headquartered in the Netherlands, GTS and its more than 600 teammates across 16 locations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America, serve over 2,000 ports around the world. The GTS network also includes nine consolidation hubs totaling more than 45,000 square meters of warehouse space. AIT Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Vaughn Moore, said, “I’d like to welcome our new GTS teammates to the global AIT network. This is the largest acquisition in our company’s history and GTS’ marine spare parts business is an excellent complement to AIT’s time-critical supply chain solutions.” The company’s business is divided into two sub-brands: Marinetrans (founded in 1991), excelling in “door-to-deck” spare parts logistics for ship owners and managers, and Best Global Logistics (founded in 2007), providing time-critical solutions and general forwarding for other industries, including life sciences shippers. According to AIT’s Chief Business Officer, Greg Weigel, the acquisition provides the company with new geographic presence in Greece, Japan and the Nordic region while adding significant capacity and subject matter expertise to existing AIT networks in China, the Netherlands and Singapore. The deal also provides a strong foundation to expand GTS’ world-class marine spare parts solutions via AIT’s expansive global freight network. “The acquisition of GTS creates an incredible portfolio of solutions serving the maritime industry with delivery of time-critical spare parts across all geographies. This is a perfect complement to AIT’s vertical strategies focused on expedited mission-critical services like our Critical Solutions Group, government and AOG team, and Life Sciences Division,” Weigel said. “We plan to rapidly invest and expand GTS’ North American operations by capitalizing on AIT’s robust salesforce in the United States and offering maritime customers a world-class spare parts logistics solution in every port.” AIT President and Chief Operating Officer, Keith Tholan, noted that the GTS core values – customer first, operational excellence, and partnership and collaboration – closely mirror AIT’s core values. “We are delighted to welcome GTS teammates to AIT,” Tholan said. “Their deep marine logistics expertise and three decades of proven on-time performance in a very demanding segment will complement the diverse solutions we offer across our vertical sector strategy. We also expect our best-in-class global air freight procurement will instantly benefit their time-critical operations.” According to GTS co-CEO John Burgstra, the acquisition is an opportunity for GTS to further expand their worldwide operations. “We aim to provide our clients an unrivaled experience when it comes to global visibility, transparency and on-time performance, fully unburdening them of the required logistical handling of their vessels’ spare parts,” he said. “We are excited about becoming part of a larger group and the global development opportunities this acquisition will provide for our teammates.” “Because of the highly fragmented and international nature of our clients’ requirements, they need a trusted partner with a vetted and effective global network,” added GTS co-CEO Vegard Prytz. “GTS will gain enormous benefits from leveraging the global AIT infrastructure, creating an even more integrated and seamless solution for clients around the world.”
