3 min read

"Navigating through change and regulation is our daily business; ensuring that every route our drivers take is safe and compliant isn't just a goal—it's a necessity. " Doug Haebig, Director of Product Management at Teletrac Navman, points out the significance of strategic route planning in transportation. This is especially critical for large trucks and hazardous material carriers that must comply with strict road regulations.

The Challenge

Teletrac Navman’s clientele who also use Sygic’s navigation are located across the globe, from the United States and the United Kingdom to Australia and New Zealand. These clients operate across diverse industries, including transport, construction, field services, and government. Each sector presents its own unique requirements and challenges.

  • Compliance with local laws
  • Reliable navigation for different types of vehicles, from heavy trucks to light commercial vehicles
  • Safety on the road
  • Maximizing productivity by completing tasks efficiently
  • Data Security: Protecting sensitive information
  • Integration of navigation tools with other solutions
  • Managing data consumption


The Solution: Sygic Professional Navigation

Teletrac Navman manages more than 700,000 vehicles and assets worldwide, some of which rely on Sygic’s professional navigation. " Our customers need navigation services to tell them which roads are OK to go to and which are not," Haebig states. "They rely on us to make sure they're always on the right side of the law," he adds.

Integrating Sygic Professional Navigation allows Teletrac Navman to offer tailored navigation solutions, enhancing their ability to meet some of the critical demands of modern fleet management. Together, they deliver solutions that not only guide drivers through optimal routes but also ensure that these routes comply with local traffic laws and regulations.

Doug Haebig explains, "Our collaboration with Sygic has helped us significantly. Sygic’s navigation tools give our drivers the details they need to avoid unexpected issues on the road, which is crucial for making sure they can do their jobs effectively."

Key Benefits & Impact

  • Compliance and Safety: Ensuring vehicles are on approved roads and providing safety alerts about upcoming restrictions and hazards are vital. "One of the primary needs is ensuring our trucks are compliant with the routes they take, avoiding roads that are not suitable for large vehicles. They use Sygic to avoid underpasses and illegal U-turns," Doug Haebig from Teletrac Navman clarifies.
  • Enhanced Navigation: Lane guidance helps drivers make timely lane changes and turns, while bridge height warnings prevent accidents with low-clearance bridges. Haebig shares "The drivers appreciate features like lane guidance and bridge height alerts, which help avoid last-minute maneuvers and ensure safety."
  • Offline capability: Drivers who operate in areas with low coverage deem offline capabilities crucial. "For mining and construction, offline maps are essential due to low coverage areas," Haebig noted.
  • Smoother onboarding of new drivers: As Doug Haebig mentions, "Our tools are designed to make life easier for new drivers, helping them settle into their roles quickly and reduce the learning curve."
