Global and regional exchange of materials, commodities has resulted in giving a lot of push to infrastructure as well as logistics. Technology has paved the way to a more robust and transparent logistics and transport network which is an order of the day when it comes to keeping a track on the fleet as well as materials in transit. Taking this into account, several companies both big and small have started to invest a lot in fleet management solutions. And by the way these companies are not only involved in the movement of goods but people as well. So what are the elements involved in the fleet management in the transport industry these days?

Real-Time GPS Tracker

One of the most critical things that have taken shape is the real-time GPS tracking wherein regardless of the number of vehicles that are operated by a travel or transport company, one can keep a check on its whereabouts across any landscape and geography. This helps in monitoring and protecting the assets taken in the container from theft and the parties involved can easily have an idea on the time frame within which a particular vehicle shall reach the destination.

Auto-Lock and Start

Upgrade in technology has also ensured certain attributes which were not possible a few years back. In case of an eventuality, fleet management solutions these days offer a benefit of turning on the vehicle lock from a distance. Not only that, even the vehicle won’t start without your consent. This goes on to show how frequent enhancements have been made to make sure that the vehicle, the goods or passengers are provided with the highest level of safety and security.

Live Alerts

Alerts on over speeding as well as alerts on entry and exit points are shared with the relevant authorities these days. It is well to be noted that the containers engaged in transport involve materials and goods which are often of high value. It is very important that once handed over to the transport company, they need to be taken care of with a lot of alertness and supervision. This is where they must be handled with the utmost professionalism. Fleet management these days involves alarm-triggering as and when the vehicle deviated from a pre-decided and accustomed path.

Savings on Fuel Cost

Transport companies due to a superior fleet management system in place can reduce the expenses on fuel to a large extent. Due to the frequent signals coming from the sensors within the vehicle, these companies get to keep a track on the driver behaviour and his driving pattern as well as idling time. This helps in making sure that appropriate alternative arrangements are made which in turn helps in less or even no wastage of fuel.

Frequent check on maintenance

Operational expenses of transport companies are huge. This is where the importance of having a good fleet management system comes into the picture. With vehicles plying day and night and at huge distances, it becomes imperative that proper check is put in place that involve timely diagnostic and maintenance of the fleet. A decent fleet management system takes this into account and triggers an alarm as and when there is an immediate requirement for vehicle maintenance to take place.

Most of the fleet management solution which we have discussed here are primarily aimed at making the life of the transport players as well as the manufacturer of commodities easier and hassle-free. There are many players globally who offer monumental services when it comes to managing the fleet. Technology, by all means, plays a very important role because when it comes to the transport industry, a lot of time frame is involved where the vehicle and the material are out of sight. The primary concern of the merchant who is shipping his priced goods is its safety and intactness. Fleet management solutions offer just that. Some may provide limited attributes while there may be others offering top-notch techno superiority. In either case, it is the transport vendor as well as the owner of goods, who have got immensely benefited out of this solution imparting technology. It is all about focusing on business rather than the logistics involved and a proper fleet management system takes into account just that.
