Transense and TIRETASK Launch Innovative Tyre Management Solutions in Key Markets

Strengthening Fleet Management with Advanced Technology

Transense Technologies plc, a leader in sensor technology and measurement solutions, has announced an exclusive partnership with German software firm TIRETASK GmbH, to bring an all-in-one tyre management solution to the UK, North America and Australia.  The collaboration introduces a powerful, integrated tyre management system that combines Translogik's highly respected tyre inspection tools with TIRETASK's advanced digital management software.

The all-in-one solution will be available from Transense via a flexible monthly subscription model, aimed at fleet operators, tyre dealers, and other industry professionals.  It integrates Translogik's precision tyre inspection tools, which are widely used by global tyre manufacturers and fleet operators, with TIRETASK's adaptable software platform.

Designed to simplify tyre management, the bundled solution provides users with a centralised system for tyre inspection and management, enabling them to access and act on crucial insights regarding tyre performance, safety and lifespan.  By capturing and analysing tyre data efficiently, fleet operators can reduce operational costs, enhance safety standards and extend tyre life.

"We are thrilled to partner with TIRETASK to offer this comprehensive solution," said Ryan Maughan, Managing Director of Transense Technologies. "By combining Translogik's inspection tools with TIRETASK's user-friendly software, we're bringing commercial vehicle fleet operators and tyre dealers a powerful resource that meets the evolving demands of the sector. This all-in-one system is especially beneficial for vehicle fleet operators in key markets, who can now gain actionable insights into tyre condition and performance, supporting better decision-making and cost savings as well as drastically reducing the time and cost of carrying out fleet tyre checks."

The partnership also marks TIRETASK's expansion from its primary market in Germany into the UK, North America and Australia. Transense and TIRETASK have closely collaborated to adapt the software platform for these regions, adding features such as a streamlined tyre audit option for basic management needs and a comprehensive, full lifecycle management solution for more advanced requirements.

"We're excited to introduce our tyre management software to new markets alongside Transense and Translogik," commented Markus Schubert, Co-Founder and CEO of TIRETASK GmbH. "Our platform is designed to enhance fleet efficiency and safety through data-driven decisions. This partnership allows us to provide fleets in English-speaking regions with a unique, integrated solution that brings together the best in tyre inspection and management technology."
