In every industry sector we work with, daily challenges are like a game where you need to develop tactics or solutions in order to solve problems.

In our long experience with fleets, we see companies with different requirements and ideas on how to use cloud-based fleet management software, but all have the common intent of winning the kind of daily challenges that fleets are up against.

Such challenges and their solutions may differ from company to company and you might not have even considered some of them. But while reading this post you could indeed learn about what is doable with cloud-based fleet management software—maybe even something you would not expect!—and then start to enjoy the benefits for yourself.

So, how can cloud-based fleet management software help you find success?

 

#1 - Saving money on insurance by having a safe fleet

Enhancing safety by monitoring driver behaviour enables, as a direct consequence, the reduction of insurance claims. A system capable of getting real-time data on vehicles and driver activity is also able to help you defend employees against fraudulent claims or false allegations concerning their driving. The potential to provide the exact location of a vehicle at the time of a supposed collision can help your company in the event of a dispute.

 

#2 - Letting your customer know when a delivery is expected

The efficiency guaranteed by fleet management software proves itself most effective when managing delivery vans and notifying customers regarding the position of your vehicle when it is getting close to its destination. This makes for better customer service.

 

#3 - Optimising use of resources through increased visibility

If you have a large fleet operating in different areas, and even if they are equipped with mobile devices, it might sometimes still prove tricky to make sure you have control of everything and that all the assets are used efficiently. If you use fleet management software, you will see everything and should be able to make the most out of all your vehicles.
