Telematics - Driving Business Further

Telematics has been a buzzword in the transport industry for some time . But as pressure mounts from compliance officers and safety regulators to provide improved transport services , companies are turning to telematics as a must-have to bring about broader business success .

Managing what you measure
Telematics provides real-time data on specific driver behaviours such as speeding , hard braking , hard acceleration , hard turning and idling . Using this data , managers are able to pinpoint areas where drivers can improve their services . They can then ensure the areas that need improvement are imminently addressed , while also encouraging awareness about the importance of safety .
Better fuel efficiency
Improving driver habits has a significant impact on fuel efficiency , as less speeding , braking and acceleration reduces fuel consumption . Smoother rides also increase safety and passenger comfort , which in the long run signals a better service .
Integrate new drivers quickly
Vehicle operators involved in major shipments , or those operating during peak-times , can struggle to ensure there ’ s enough supply to reach increases in demand . However , by installing a telematics system , companies can quickly allocate new drivers and trucks to meet the demand .
Accurate maps with less stress
Instead of investing time and money in training drivers on each individual route , they can pick up their terminals before the start of each shift and follow the directions provided by highly accurate maps . Such technology is specifically tailored to heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and buses , and by using these maps , this can save businesses time and money , while reducing driver stress levels .
Not just another buzzword
The use of telematics is a no-brainer for companies aiming to save time and money . Solutions such as those provided by Webfleet Solutions will reduce fuel consumption , support positive driver behaviour and ensure that a high-quality service is continuously maintained . Most importantly , telematics solutions ensure company ’ s are compliant on every front .
