Technology veteran joins team to focus on big data mining
PORTLAND, OREGON – September 9, 2014 – Vigillo LLC, creators of the
transportation industry’s most advanced big data and data mining software
products, today announced that due to increased demand in big data projects it
has added expertise and capabilities to its Athena big data platform. In the five
months since its launch the Athena Cloud has exceeded 1 billion records on 17
enterprise servers.
“We developed Athena to be the hub of all of the data that is critical to trucking,
and have experienced tremendous growth in its use by the industry across a
range of disciplines,” said Steve Bryan, CEO of Vigillo. “Athena’s ability to absorb
a huge volume of data and to analyze big dollar challenges to a modern trucking
company and provide valuable analytics is helping a growing number of
companies make better business decisions. In order to meet the needs of our
rapidly expanding customer base, we have added to our capabilities and our
expertise.”
New capabilities in Athena include customized Fuel and Maintenance
dashboards:
• Fuel Dashboard provides views of the location, volume and total
purchases of fuel so a company can make more informed decisions about
fuel contract purchases and shipping routes and optimize purchasing. Fuel
reports in Athena provide location information organized by supplier based
on volume and cost, and supplier information relating to pricing trends.
• Maintenance Dashboard uses private CSA data combined with internal
vehicle maintenance and breakdown information to create reports that
identify types of breakdowns and how this information compares to or is
affected by corresponding inspections, violations and CSA points across a
specific date range.
• U.S. Legal Channel and the Court Dispositions Dashboard reveals the
disposition of driver citations by state, county, violation type, CSA/MVR,
fine reduction, and time to disposition.
Adding to Vigillo’s expertise is Andy Kaplan, who has joined the company as
Athena’s Technical Account Manager. Kaplan previously led a team at a
datacenter solutions provider with a specialty in Big Data Analytics, Microsoft and

2. Oracle, and has established and expanded partnerships for IVOXY Consulting,
Symantec Corporation and Hinds Instruments.
“The entire Vigillo team is focused on delivering big data in a useful,
understandable format so business owners can operate their business fluidly,”
Kaplan stated. “A team with this much interest in providing a platform that drives
their customer’s success is one that I’m excited to join. As a previous business
owner myself, I understand the incredible value of Vigillo’s Athena big data
platform that provides the trucking industry with organized, actionable data.”
“We’re delighted to have Andy Kaplan join Vigillo,” added Steve Bryan. “His deep
experience in data solutions, coupled with his extensive business development
background in the field of big data, makes him a natural fit for our team. Kaplan
will play a key strategic role as we develop and deliver innovative solutions that
provide fleets with the data they need to make informed decisions.”
