New partnership between Mapon and Schmitz Cargobull delivers integrated trailer management for smarter fleet oversight

Riga-based Mapon and Germany’s Schmitz Cargobull are collaborating to make trailer management smarter and simpler for fleet operators across Europe. Through their partnership, Mapon’s fleet management platform will now integrate data from Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect® system, bringing critical trailer insights—such as temperature, humidity, and maintenance needs—directly to fleet managers in one interface. This streamlined access removes the need to switch between systems, making it easier to monitor and manage trailers with enhanced accuracy, particularly for businesses moving temperature-sensitive goods. By merging their technologies, both companies aim to create a more cohesive and efficient approach to fleet operations, cutting down on complexity while supporting safety, security, and sustainability.

Mapon, headquartered in Latvia, is a well-established fleet management company focused on providing tools for monitoring and optimizing fleet operations. Serving clients across Northern Europe, Mapon offers solutions that include asset tracking, vehicle diagnostics, and route planning, aiming to improve fleet efficiency and safety. As part of the Draugiem Group, Mapon has expanded its reach with offices in Estonia, Finland, Spain, and beyond, helping transport and logistics companies manage both vehicles and cargo more effectively.

Schmitz Cargobull, founded in 1892 in Germany, has grown to become Europe’s largest manufacturer of semi-trailers, producing equipment for temperature-controlled, general cargo, and bulk goods transport. Known for its focus on connectivity and innovation, Schmitz Cargobull developed the TrailerConnect® telematics system to give fleet managers real-time data on trailer conditions, such as temperature and maintenance needs. By integrating digital tools directly into trailers, Schmitz Cargobull supports logistics companies in managing cargo quality and delivery efficiency, meeting the complex needs of today’s transport industry.

This integration allows fleet managers to connect without additional equipment and use the Mapon platform to gain streamlined access to Schmitz Cargobull data. This eliminates the need for multiple systems, offering a unified vehicle and trailer operations overview. The synergy supports more cohesive reporting and decision-making, all from a single interface.

The partnership between Mapon and Schmitz Cargobull brings critical trailer performance data directly to the Mapon platform, enabling fleet managers to monitor and manage their trailer fleets according to specific business needs. This collaboration enhances high-performance data monitoring, provides preventative maintenance alerts, and strengthens security controls to address potential security breaches, minimising cargo theft risks, and tampering. Additionally, environmental sensors offer temperature, humidity, and container refrigeration data—essential for temperature-sensitive cargo and a priority for industries such as logistics, pharmaceuticals, and perishables.

“Teaming up with Schmitz Cargobull is a game-changer for our customers, and we’re thrilled to bring Schmitz Cargobull’s advanced trailer telematics to the Mapon platform. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions that meet the complex needs of modern fleet managers, allowing our clients to harness data that optimises operational efficiency, enhances safety, and reduces costs. Together, we’re streamlining fleet management and paving the way for a more sustainable and accountable transportation industry,” says Davis Siksnans, Mapon’s CEO.

Søren Danielsen, Manager of Strategy & Business Development at Schmitz Cargobull, adds, “The Data Management Center enables haulers to have complete control over their data and efficiently pass on selected data to third parties. By intelligently linking vehicle, route, and order information, more than just position and temperature data can be selected, processed, and transmitted to external systems at the touch of a button in the future. The TrailerConnect® Data Management Center stands for connectivity and transparency. All actors in the supply chain benefit from this.”

The Mapon-Schmitz Cargobull partnership reaffirms both companies’ commitment to empowering clients through technology, ensuring that the future of logistics and fleet management is more intelligent, safer, and more efficient. Current and new customers can immediately access Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect® telematics data on the Mapon platform.
