Home service companies offer a wide menu of services. This can require vehicles with plenty of space for equipment, upfitting to keep supplies organized, and a system that helps the main office keep track of vehicles.
If there is one constant with telematics, it’s change. New technology emerges rapidly — and the way that technology is used evolves at the very same time. That means new trends are always on the horizon.
Cost savings is about more than simply spending less, it also doesn't require a degree in quantum physics to come up with new solutions. Here are some ideas that can help.
With more than 13,000 vehicles nationwide, the fleet team has saved millions of dollars and lowered greenhouse gas emissions by selecting the right vehicles, streamlining operational processes, and implementing GPS.
Truck fleets were among the earliest adopters of GPS technology. GPS is used to reduce fuel spend by optimizing routing, increase driver accountability by deterring speeding and excessive idling, track hours of service and overtime, and prevent unauthorized usage of assets. A new generation of more powerful and sophisticated satellites are being deployed, which promise to take the GPS to the next level.
Increasingly, drivers are relying on personal GPS devices for route directions; however, this can be potentially dangerous and expensive for truck fleets. A car GPS device maps out the quickest and shortest routes, but doesn't identify truck-restricted routes or roads with weight, height, and hazardous cargo restrictions.
Telematics has proven useful to fleets in reducing fuel consumption, idling, and emissions, and keeping track of company vehicles.
“Find me the nearest hardware store that sells Western Red Cedar shingles at the lowest price. Then direct me there.” Talking to your car using telematics, Wi-Fi, and mobile computing promise to revolutionize productivity in the vehicle.
The next step in using GPS tracking technology is to manage miles, fuel and customer activity together to achieve greater net profit per visit.
Employee monitoring can be used to ensure employees are where they should be, mitigate risks, counter theft, and more. However, there are legal pitfalls if handled incorrectly.
