Infosys to drive Toyota arm in US on cloud

Global software major Infosys on late Tuesday said it would provide telematics software to carmaker Toyota’s material handling arm in the US on its cloud platform.
“Toyota Material Handling North America has selected us for a cloud-based IoT (Internet of Things) telematics product implementation with application support and development for its SAP platform,” said the city-based IT behemoth in a statement here.
The telematics solutions will enable the Japanese auto giant to focus on improving business performance, increase productivity and enhance customer satisfaction.
“As the development partner for global telematics solution (GTS), we will enable remote monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, including vehicle access control, system maintenance, condition sensing and location tracking of Toyota’s subsidiary in the US,” said the company in the statement.
Leveraging its experience and presence in the connected vehicle space, the outsourcing firm will help the Toyota arm draw insights from the data to provide better service and improve its after-sales experiences for consumers in the forklift industry.
“We will also provide SAP application maintenance services to the Toyota arm through its service offering that enables smart governance, higher productivity, business satisfaction and efficiency,” said the statement.
