Michal (Mic) Yariv discusses how the supply chain and trucking industry leverages data analytics to react to the pandemic in real-time and keep much-needed goods moving. She also shares how she has led an initiative to supply truckers with real-time alerts about COVID-19 cases in regions they were driving through as well as updates on stay-at-home orders, mask requirements, and restaurant and rest stop closures.

We also discuss location intelligence and leveraging data to provide information about mechanics, food, rest stations, as well as calculate how long truckers are likely to spend at warehouses and where they need to go within those locations.

Finally, we talk about the technology that provides real-time micro-weather information for truckers, helping them make decisions on the road that increase safety and efficiency. For example, if heavy rain is approaching, a driver can turn off cruise control before hitting bad weather.
