As the world’s supply chains become more and more data-led, more than ever, fleet operators are being forced to take a holistic approach to fleet management – not using telematics to monitor where the vehicles are, but to make informed, forward-looking decisions that aid the bottom line.

The fleet management solution of today represents something between the coach and the satellite, from GPS tracking, diagnostic reporting, and driver analytics. This single-source approach gives you a distinct advantage to address immediate concerns as they arise, whether we’re talking about route delays, fuel abuses or maintenance alerts, minimizing downtime and costs while adding to the bottom line.

One of the major innovations of recent years has been the growing use of predictive analytics in fleet telematics. Using predictive analytics based on historical and real-time data, these platforms can predict a breakdown before it occurs and provide maintenance teams with a prompt to intervene. This means fewer breakdowns, reduced repairing expenses and more extended life periods for vehicles.

Businesses that rely on traditional fleet tracking are ignoring smarter, deeper insights they can unlock with the telematics fleet management available today, commented an industry insider at a leading logistics company. The peace of mind of being able to foresee issues, optimize routes on the fly and better driver performance is a real competitive advantage for our operations.

Another great improvement area is safety and compliance. Stricter government mandates and the higher price of insurance are leading more and more companies to use telematics systems to monitor good driving habits and ELD compliance. Fleet managers can now track seat belt use, speed limits, idle times and aggressive braking events — all of which can impact accident rates and liability exposure.

And, let’s face it, the environmental advantages of smarter telematics fleet management are pretty damning. Through automated fuel consumption data and eco-driving feedback, these businesses are actively reducing emissions and adopting greener strategies whilst maintaining service level provision.

With the industry digitizing across the board, telematics is no longer a luxury when it comes to forward-thinking fleets. Mid-sized logistics companies to global delivery networks are adopting sophisticated telematics platforms to stay afloat and competitive in an uncertain international market.

As continuous developments occur alongside growing adoption, telematics fleet management will transform how transportation businesses run, making fleets smarter, safer and more sustainable than they’ve ever been.
