With today’s fleet technology solutions, you have the power to make your fleet into the lean, productive machine your company needs. The ability to optimize productivity and supply chain efficiency while decreasing fuel consumption is at your fingertips like never before. Here are some amazing benefits to consider for your fleet.
- Using location-based data to keep track of your vehicles. You’ll know where your vehicles are all the time. You can keep your customers up-to-date about deliveries and plan future routes efficiently. Location-based data also helps lower your fuels costs as this technology provides visibility into three key areas: speeding, idling and vehicle maintenance.
- Maximizing driver safety by tracking relevant data. Monitor acceleration rates, braking habits, and vehicle speed. Geo-fencing data will ensure your vehicles are where they should be, and digital camera recording can give you a first-hand account of events.
- Diagnostics data can provide alerts for damaged or malfunctioning vehicles, maintenance scheduling, vehicle code information, ecological driving data, as well as data about fuel usage and CO2 emissions – all benefits for your business and your clients. As a result, your vehicles will be on the road longer and your business will prove to be very efficient.
- Communications features can provide up-to-the-second reports. With email, in-vehicle messaging, two-way messaging or SMS alerts, you’ll know exactly what’s happening with your fleet and where to allocate resources, and input systems can provide tracking reports on stops. This is a huge benefit for driver-to-driver communication and will keep you as a fleet manager in the loop of what’s going on at all times.
- Using your communication tools to promote user interaction. Utilize social media platforms for mapping, navigation and providing real-time updates. Let your clients feel connected with your business and your fleet. Social media platforms are great channels to communicate extreme weather conditions or traffic delays.
High tech fleet management solutions have arrived. By exploring them, you’ll find ways to achieve greater service, safety, and cost efficiency. Choosing the right tools for your business is vital, so it’s important to know what you want and research your options accordingly.
