Technology is being used today in fleet management to collect and analyze data from various systems to improve efficiency, performance, and safety while helping to lower costs.
Traditional fleet management relied on dongle connectors for multiple devices that would monitor basic information like GPS, routing, and fuel consumption. Disparate data could only be aggregated and collectively analyzed after the fact, delaying use of the data for decision-making.
Today, IoT-enabled fleet management solutions are being used to collect, consolidate, and analyze data in near-real time, giving fleet managers access to more information more quickly for real-time decision-making. Data is also being sent to the cloud for deeper trend analysis to inform proactive and preventative operational improvement measures. This digital transformation of fleet management is paving the way for tomorrow’s digital vehicle.
