Astrata is a leader in advanced location-based connected vehicle and operating software solutions. It serves more than 1,200 customers worldwide in a variety of fields: logistics, multinationals, governments, homeland security and utilities.

More and more companies expect carriers to provide up-to-date information on the location, condition and precise delivery times of their cargo. Process automation helps to meet these requirements while offering an opportunity to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and attract new customers. Plus, it helps to plan the exact route and cut out “empty kilometres”, thus reducing fuel costs – an important aspect at a time of petrol shortages and increasing diesel prices.

New, simplified setup to sharpen focus on serving multinational customers in the region
