Fleet Management: Operational
Transparency to Raise Fleet Productivity
In quest to drive revenue, curb costs, and ensure regulatory and company compliance, commercial fleets are installing fleet management systems on fleet vehicles. Fleet management systems are used as an information hub offering various information ranging from work orders and routing and navigation suggestions to real-time traffic and weather information. Fleet management systems also help log vehicle data and maintain electronic records for tax reporting and other legal obligations.<br><br>
Fleet dispatchers also depend on fleet management systems to track fleet vehicles, keep contact with fleet drivers, arrange maintenance schedules, and draw up driving guidelines.<br><br>
Dynamic tracking and positioning of fleet vehicles and goods in transit is one major function of fleet management systems. Ability to integrate a wide variety of real time or non-real time data also plays an important role in fleet management and is the foundation for filing and analysis of such as driver behavior, insurance policy, and fuel consumption. Moreover, fleet management systems need to establish audio and data
communication between drivers and dispatchers.
