With this acquisition, ORCODA aims to leverage Future Fleet’s expertise and combine it with their own ORCODA Logistics Management System (OLMS) to offer customers optimised and real-time management capabilities. By integrating Future Fleet’s telematics devices and ORCODA ‘s advanced software solutions, the company will unlock new opportunities to accelerate customers’ digital transformation journey.
