To stay ahead in the transport trade, Giraud International, an international freight business, has equipped vehicles with the EutelTRACS messaging and positioning system, supplied in Europe by Qualcomm and operating through Eutelsat capacity.

“Giraud International operates like a freight exchange with trucks and drivers tracked in real time. This allows us to anticipate incidents and be extremely proactive”, explains Fabrice de Biasio, Director of Information Systems for the group.

EutelTRACS enables trucks, trailers and freight to be tracked, and tracing of pallets and products. Giraud International selects, mobilises and monitors sub-contractors and its own network.

“We have equipped the entire fleet of 2400 engines and 3100 articulated trucks”, says Fabrice de Biasio. “By optimising vehicles and drivers we are raising productivity and competitiveness.”
