REACH – Bridgestone's Fleet Management Solution

When your company depends on a fleet of trucks and your job is to manage fleet performance, you know that fleet downtime costs money. REACH is a service delivery platform designed by Bridgestone to simplify and speed up roadside assistance requests for commercial fleets. 

Differentiated from our competitors' fleet and tire management systems by offering emergency services by the closest provider regardless of service network, REACH gets drivers back on the road more quickly, increasing critical uptime. The web and mobile applications harness the latest in mobile technology, creating an end-to-end solution that centralizes communications between fleet managers, drivers, dealers and service technicians with real-time updates and GPS support.

REACH utilizes a web portal and smart devices to connect fleets directly to service providers for over the road and local service needs. The platform speeds service delivery by reducing or eliminating phones calls which accelerates event setup and dispatch. REACH allows drivers, service providers and fleet managers to retain a digital record of events that include real-time chat functions and data uploads like photos and documents.
