Knowing in real-time which driver is the closest to any job that needs to be assigned, and being able to dispatch and message drivers dynamically is key to customer service success. A fleet management solution provides the fleet operations team with the visibility and insights to be able to plan, enact, and respond swiftly and effectively.

MyGeotab, Geotab's fleet management software, is scalable, flexible and customizable. Marketplace lets you integrate the solutions that best suit your fleet requirements and objectives so you can focus on enhancing those aspects that allow you to improve your delivery operations.

To improve the safety of delivery and courier fleets, MyGeotab provides risk and safety reports, in-vehicle driver advice, accident notification, safety belt use detection and safety alerts for reckless driving behavior, such as hard braking or sharp turns. 

 

To increase productivity and provide better customer service, MyGeotab provides fleet managers with a complete, consistent view of vehicles on a real-time map, with itinerary data, exception rules to improve driver productivity, trip and activity reports, messaging, dynamic contact with drivers (two-way messaging) and route optimization.

Even when following the same routes, there are many other factors that affect fleet management and can be optimized through MyGeotab. Among many other benefits, these include regulatory compliance, increased asset and load safety, increased productivity from every vehicle and driver, fleet optimization and reduced fuel costs.

Through Geotab software, estimated delivery times become more accurate as a result of continuously tracking the vehicle fleet. By tracking idle time, you can detect when drivers are spending too much time idling, communicate with them and notify the customer of the delay.

Transportation management is essentially fleet management but applicable more directly to the operations of courier and delivery services. It creates insight into fleet movements and, when used correctly, enables fast, secure and reliable deliveries that better meet customer needs.

When it comes to transportation management, every fleet is different. Geotab's courier and delivery solutions can help improve fleet operations by providing accurate arrival estimates, tracking vehicle idling and optimising routes to ensure faster delivery.

Transportation management is incredibly important for optimising the fleet for your delivery operations. It can reduce costs and improve driver safety with real-time fleet tracking, alerts and detailed reports. The visibility and detailed overview that this creates allows fleets to reduce costs while improving driver safety. In addition, it is possible to provide accurate status updates to customers to increase satisfaction.

Geotab technology can track vehicles of all types and sizes. We support passenger vehicles, trucks and electric vehicles with our easy-to-install GO devices and also work with a large number of OEMs to transfer data directly from vehicles without the need for device installation.

Fleet technology is crucial for helping support the fleet operations of carriers. Geotab technology provides a complete overview of your company's staffing, assets and costs. It helps with shipping, navigation and route optimisation and also provides crash detection and notifications and high-performance GPS technology.

Companies are operating at greater and greater speed, which means that demand and competition for delivery services are increasing. Fast, safe and reliable transportation of time-sensitive goods is essential to customer satisfaction. Geotab can help you reduce the costs associated with your fleet, increase on-road productivity and improve driver safety using high-performance technology that is scalable, flexible and adaptable.
