How fleet management specialists use technology to help you become more efficient

Reducing fleet costs and increasing efficiency with enhanced technology

Strategic priorities for businesses that operate fleets include reducing costs and ensuring high return on investment.

As an article in Success Factors notes: “Business productivity software ensures organisations have the tools to overcome the challenges of executing on strategy every day and prospering in today’s economic times…automated processes allow for faster communication of strategy and increased time spent on strategic priorities.”

We highlight two examples of superior technology, developed by fleet management specialist Avis Fleet, that particularly, ensure greater fleet efficiency:

Telematics

There is no doubt that telematics – the ability to track and analyse driver behavior with the goal of reducing overall costs – is going to become one of this century’s greatest technological achievements.

Automotive Fleet predicts that all future vehicles will use integrated technology to “directly manage fuel purchases and capture telematics data to manage driver behavior and initiate proactive maintenance scheduling.”

Moreover, the telematics data, combined with maintenance data on a particular vehicle will allow fleet management specialists to do a target replacement for that vehicle rather than abide by a generalised replacement date.

Fleet management specialists are also excited about cloud computing and its ability to enable fleet solution providers to offer higher degrees of data and system integration.

Avis Fleet has been one of the pioneers of telematics technology in the service of reducing costs and improving fleet efficiency.

Avis Fleet’s telematics product tracks driver behaviour, gauging if a driver:

• speeds
• engages in over-revving
• idles
• brakes too fast
• takes an inefficient route to carry out business activities
• pinpoints when the driver begins and ends his/her car journey
• alerts the driver when they speed to so that they can reduce their speed

Telematics reports have assisted Avis Fleet clients to save up to 20% in fuel costs.
