Telematics is technology that monitors information about individual vehicles or entire fleets of vehicles in transportation or distribution businesses all over the world.
Telematics systems like Nexxo Fleet gather data specific to vehicle location, driver behavior, engine diagnostics and vehicle activity, and visualizes this data on a software platform that helps fleet managers control their use of resources.
Telematics alerts fleet managers of mechanical issues in real time which allows them to create work orders and address these problems quickly. This reduces downtime and makes scheduling preventative maintenance easier for the future of the fleet.
Communicating with drivers and operators out in the field in the past used to be a complicated job for fleet managers. Telematics streamlines and automates communication processes and ensures that managers have access to the information they need faster.
Safety is paramount for companies operating fleets of vehicles and equipment. Telematics software monitors both driver and operative behavior, as well as vehicle and equipment performance which improves safety management.
Unsafe practices can be quickly detected and addressed, and when things go wrong, emergency assistance can have access to location tracking in the software to find accidents sooner.
Fuel is one of the two biggest costs for businesses that depend on fleets to build revenue. Reducing excessive fuel usage builds overall efficiency of these fleets, and telematics helps manage fuel usage through providing direct route planning, cutting engine idling, and detecting unauthorized vehicle or equipment use.
In the last decade, telematics has transformed a number of industries, driving major improvements in transportation, distribution, construction, and site excavation.
Companies that manage fleets have adopted telematics because it assists in improving reliability, boosting customer service standards, increasing efficiency, and enhancing their bottom line.
In fact, studies show that telematics creates a positive return on investment to companies that take full advantage of its implementation in their fleet management.
