Trackunit breakthrough with Operating Data Platform IrisX

Global ConTech Trackunit has launched its Operating Data Platform IrisX tailored specifically to the off-highway segment of the construction industry .

The new platform effectively breaks new ground by building on the tried-and-tested Iris platform , allowing customers to leverage Generative AI and Large Language Models in a dynamic , evolving and open environment .
“ It was Gartner that predicted the rise of Industry Cloud Platforms in a report in the fall of 2023 , highlighting that more than 70 % of enterprises will use ICPs by 2027 ,” said Trackunit CEO Søren Brogaard . “ IrisX is , in essence , an ICP for off-highway construction , and will exponentially transform productivity and speed to market .
“ This is a purpose-built platform that connects , streamlines and empowers data from the back office to the frontlines that takes its place within a wider Cloud and IT architecture ,” he said . “ The beauty of IrisX is that it co-exists and integrates with all your other tools so customers can choose how much they wish to leverage .
“ IrisX is designed to help companies overcome the significant challenges of Digital Transformation , such as high upfront investment and the scarcity of tech talent ,” said Brogaard . “ By offering a platform that coexists and integrates with existing tools , we ensure faster time to value and impact , making it easier for companies to scale their digital investments .”
“ Our customers and partners already have experience in building proprietary solutions through Iris ,” said Brogaard . “ Now IrisX unlocks deep insights and capabilities through integrating AI and Machine Learning that will specifically target customer pain points such as downtime , maintenance schedules , and keeping track of fleets between sites to mention just a few . and scalable platform with stronger cyber security while also guaranteeing privacy over data ,” he said .
“ Trackunit has spent years harmonising and cleaning telematics and operations data in a well-structured data lake and customers can be absolutely confident that they only share the data they want to share when they are ready to do so ,” said Brogaard . “ Their data scientists will effectively be able to start building their own ecosystem on top of IrisX from the day they sign up , enabling them to ring fence data that is integral to maintaining their competitive edge .
IrisX will also enable users to integrate equipment , fleet and site insights across their tech stack knowing compliance and cyber security concerns are covered via privacy and governance protocols embedded through the ISO 27001 certification .
“ The scope of what IrisX can do is really incredible ,” said Brogaard . “ The automation studio , for example , will help eliminate a lot of manual tasks , leaving teams to focus on highervalue activities and use blueprints to optimise app integration and create workflow automation .
“ Customers will also be able to use software development kits to build apps and extensions specifically tailored to their customer base , not only enhancing the service offering , but extending the power of their telematics data , proprietary data , and third-party data ,” he said .
For OEMs , that means , as just one example , transforming predictive analytics into proactive sales while contractors will , among other things , be able to create a cross-jobsite comparison of external rental assets with internal assets to optimise usage and minimise costs . Rentals will also benefit . They will , for example , be able to optimise their depot turnaround time through data analytics .

“ With an accelerated time to value and at fractional cost , IrisX is developer friendly and will facilitate the combination of telematics data , operational data and commercial data in one secure
“ We are moving into an era where IT can no longer be viewed as a side project running parallel to what your company does ,” said Brogaard . “ The pace of learning demands putting it at the center of everything you do to leverage the tremendous opportunities with unlimited scalability that are coming in the new business transformation .
“ IrisX will continue to evolve and develop dynamically ,” he said . “ For our customers that are already on board , they will have a headstart on all the truly exciting developments that will unfold as the platform becomes ever more sophisticated .” �
