Our state-of-the-art fleet management tools help our customers to succeed in crafting sophisticated business plans. Today’s shipping industry runs on digital efficiency and data-driven micromanagement. Companies cannot afford to try to innovate with yesterday’s tools.
Here are three aspects of modern fleet management that most managers will agree companies can’t do without.
Dash Cam Services
This aspect of fleet management is the ‘eyes’ of the remote management system.
Without dash cams, text data can tell you certain things about packages and shipping, but there are many things that it can’t tell you – about specific events like accidents and collisions.
On the other hand, a dash cam is like a black box on an airplane. When an event happens, that triggers the recording, and the recording gets sent to the stakeholders who need it. This in turn shows investigators the visuals of what happened at a particular time, which can be so valuable when it’s time to figure out accidents or losses or anything else.
Fleet GPS Tracking
GPS tracking is the birds-eye view of your fleet management system.
You may have read in the early days of GPS about enormous shipping efficiencies gleaned through looking at a vast trove of GPS data. For instance, we heard about how UPS decided to cut out left-hand turns, which resulted in improved delivery times.
This is the type of crucial data that you get from GPS fleet management services. Many municipalities also have some version of this, not just for vehicles, but also for equipment and tools. No matter what you’re deploying, the locational data is paramount. You need it in your archive in order to make the best decisions about business every day.
Asset Tracking
Then there are also asset tracking features built into the platform to help stakeholders to know where everything is, and how it is being used.
In other words, in addition to location, the status of an asset is important. Resources can be utilized or spent in different ways. How do you know what’s going on, unless you’re on the ground? You don’t – unless you are behind one of these cutting-edge dashboards that will essentially tell you.
Broadly, some types of micromanagement are cutting-edge in terms of managing freight. For example, now, in covid19 times, specimens of vaccine have to stay below a certain temperature. How do you make sure that’s the case? Or how do you plan for cold logistics for food and perishables?
You do it through these modern fleet management and shipping management tools. Ask us more about what we provide for everything that moves in your business model.
