In a former post we detailed how service companies, the construction industry and government fleets enjoy the benefits of fleet management solutions. In this post we look at how three other sectors, which operate fleets, could potentially benefit from similar technology.
#1 - Delivery fleets
Managing a delivery fleet effectively means recognising the link between well organised dispatch times and excellent customer service. With the assistance of technology, managers can keep tabs on fleet vehicle locations in real time, see that deliveries are on schedule, receive updates on deliveries—the monitoring system in the trucks and vans also have the advantage of proving that they have been completed.
#2 - Rental fleets
Equipment rental companies can also employ technology for their fleets—they can utilise GPS trackers to keep tabs on all their vehicles, both delivery and sales, but also on the equipment they rent out to customers. Fleet telematics keep track of all vehicle movements: the time taken to complete deliveries, stop and idle time (this data helps improve fuel efficiency), run-time and the location of stolen equipment. Furthermore, all this information makes for far more accurate invoicing.
#3 - Education fleets
Telematics are extremely useful for tracking trucks, vehicles and vans on and around education facilities, contributing to a safer environment for all the staff and students. Efficiency will be greatly improved, helping to keep maintenance tasks and general upkeep from falling behind schedule and enhancing the public perception of the university, improving PR and much, much more!
There is a golden opportunity for fleet telemetry in just about every industry that uses vehicles and equipment in order to run their operations. If you want to learn more about the genuine advantages of fleet technology and how they can benefit you, contact us!
