Powerful fleet management software

Every fleet’s priorities are different. It is important to select a fleet management software platform which offers a range of rate plans so you only pay for the features and benefits you need. 

You should also seek out a secured telematics platform that integrates with your existing business applications. Be sure to invest in a solution which can provide real-time, historical, and predictive analytics via intuitive dashboards and reports. 

The fleet management platform you choose should provide flexibility for: 

• The ability to track where your vehicles travel, such as through custom zones, and relative to their configured routes 
• Insights to help fleets reduce carbon emissions and EV fleet management, including tracking of EV energy usage and charging status 
• End-to-end vehicle monitoring of key engine components like the engine, transmission, and emissions systems 
• The ability to track fuel consumption, and factors which might be driving up your fuel costs 
• Detection and alerts related to unsafe driving habits such as speeding, harsh braking and turning 
• Options for tracking vehicle use outside of business hours 
• Dashcams and keyless entry system integrations 
• A marketplace of third-party add-ons for fleet management processes like maintenance scheduling, tire pressure monitoring, and collision reconstruction

Whether your organisation employs a small fleet of vehicles or a large one, fleet management software can help you spot the root causes of lost productivity. 

For example, using telematics you can see how idling or harsh driving is impacting fuel usage. You can also use optimised routing and dispatch jobs to drivers in the field, without making them return to home office first.

Fleet management software enables you to gain a comprehensive overview of fleet metrics such as vehicle speed, fuel consumption, vehicle location etc. You will be able to focus on areas which need improving in order to remove inefficiencies. 

Using MyGeotab, you can also benchmark your organization’s performance against fleets of a similar size, makeup or geographical area. For example, you could see how driver behavior is impacted by weather or road congestion. Remember: You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

All of Geotab’s fleet management software packages include GPS vehicle tracking.
