SkyLab ELD App
---Market Need---
In the trucking industry, a new mandate requires certain vehicles to electronically log driving hours and for companies to operate within rules known as HOS (hours of service) required by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
---Our App Solution---
We have developed a unique solution that meets the FMCSA requirements by attaching a self-install ELD (electronic logging device) that plugs into the engine electronics port and communicates via Bluetooth to the phone application.
--Our Success Story---
With an executive team with deep understanding of this problem and a combined 60 years of industry experience, we have created an app that is easier-to-set up, easier-to-train and easier-to-use than comparable products on the market. Launching the company in late 2017, we are at 200% of our invested sales plan and feedback on the app is pacing to meet our goal of setting a new highwater benchmark for NPS in the ELD market. Just some of our recent commentary:
• “I don’t get calls from my drivers with questions or problems with the SkyLab ELD app, it just works”
• “Great price, great product and class A support. These guys know what they're doing”
• “I’ve used a couple of ELD Apps and SkyLab is the easiest by far”
• “I just opened the box and gave the hardware to the drivers and didn’t have to worry about scheduling or waiting on installs. It was really quick and easy, they just plugged in the devices and got on the road”
--How Our App Innovates the Industry---
