FLEETDRIVE
When it comes to managing environmental responsibilities , many councils are investigating the adoption of electric vehicles ( EV ) to replace CO2 producing vehicles . Data is helping to tell them what vehicles can be replaced by EVs , and where the best points for installing recharging stations are .
Fleet management is a 21st century task which requires a reasonable understanding of technology . For council fleet management to be effective , staff need to adapt to new fleet management technology that can help them allocate assets more efficiently . The switch to a paperless workforce is imminent .
What are three ( 3 ) technologies that are hot with local government councils right now ?
Councils are moving toward a digital future at a rapid rate , and Cloud technology has been accepted quickly by many councils across Australia . The scalability , accessibility , security , and costs savings associated with adopting cloudbased fleet management solutions and telematics make them attractive to councils .
Councils are getting better at analysing and applying the data they collect to make better informed decisions in real-time and improve services by uncovering hidden insights while increasing the speed and efficiency of operations .
Then there is the Internet of Things ( IoT ), which is how we connect fleets and assets , collect the data mentioned above to deliver insights , improve worker safety , and drive efficiency .
Technology is helping local government organisations solve the many challenges they face . They increase efficiency and speed , reduce costs and environmental impacts , and allow councils to deliver high levels of service despite budgetary pressures .
