Knowledge is money: how telematics can help optimize performance and reduce downtime

Speaker: Irfan Zardadkhan, product manager, telematics, Tigercat

In recent years, loggers’ operating costs have gone up drastically, making it increasingly difficult to turn a profit. This means getting data on machine performance, downtime, maintenance, etc., is critical. Tigercat product manager Irfan Zardadkhan will present the latest developments for Tigercat’s telematics systems, RemoteLog and LogOn, including how logging contractors can manage their fleet, optimize their performance and reduce downtime. He will also share how contractors have leveraged these features and the impact they have had on their operations.
