Since the early 20th century, Great Dane has advanced from a manufacturing company to the goods mobility company of today. The company stays ahead of competition by constantly evolving within the transportation industry and focusing on relevant cutting edge technologies and methodologies. With the goal of disrupting their current maintenance program, Great Dane began implementing standards and systems designed to advance their accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Much of these advancements were made possible due to their adoption of IBM Maximo and MxMobile.
