Who is TGI Connect?
TGI Connect is a trailer tracking solution. Formed in 1992, TGI originally provided trailer marketing opportunities to trucking companies. And with many successful relationships being developed over the past 18 years TGI has gained valuable knowledge and expertise in trailer asset management. Through this experience TGI has developed a very powerful and cost effective solution for trailer asset management.
TGI Main Benefits

The strong relationship that we have established over the last few years has been based on similar business vision, values and team spirit which makes it an asset to both our companies and our customers.
Main Features of Our Integration:
1. Automated trailer odometer update
Our solution, MIR-RT automatically gets the trailer’s odometer from TGI, which allows better monitoring of maintenance schedules on all equipment and provides cost per distance traveled statistics.
2. Geofencing integration
In MIR-RT, Fleet Maintenance Managers can see a list of the tasks to complete on units (whether they are preventive or corrective) and with this integration they can also see in real-time which trailers are available in any of their yards. This feature allows them to take a proactive approach to maintenance.
