Krone, one of Europe's largest trailer manufacturers, was facing a growing demand for trailers with built-in Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction capabilities. This was driven by the evolving digital requirements of shippers who were increasingly expecting more smart features to be integrated into their products. The company, which generates €1.9 billion in sales annually and employs over 5,300 workers, wanted to add more world-class connected services to their portfolio.

In response to this challenge, Krone embarked on a global strategic partnership with Shippeo, a leading provider of real-time visibility solutions. The partnership aimed to integrate Shippeo's real-time data services into Krone's own telematics solution, marking a significant step towards Krone's ambition of leading the market with a new trailer-as-a-service (TaaS) business model. The collaboration resulted in Krone becoming the first trailer manufacturer to provide real-time ETA predictions within their own trailer management solution, Krone Telematics. This service, powered by Shippeo’s proprietary machine learning algorithm that references over 200 data parameters, is now the most accurate and reliable ETA service for shipments and deliveries on the market. Looking ahead, Krone plans to continue collaborating with Shippeo to incorporate more automation, digitization, and artificial intelligence into trailer transport processes.
