Many transport companies struggle to have control over how their vehicles are used. It becomes a time-consuming process that is hard to prioritize, which means that possible management improvements go unnoticed. We also see increased demands for route planning, which, alongside today’s complex regulations, creates difficulties in building a great strategy.
So, what’s the end result? It becomes difficult to plan routes, provide customers with reliable delivery times and overall have efficient operation of the vehicle fleet.
Benefits of digitizing your vehicle fleet
Modern transport companies have understood the value of digitalization, and of utilizing the smart tools that are being invented at a furious pace. Tools that increase security, reduce administration and give you full control over how you want to run your business.
Let’s go through 6 of the most popular tools that you can start using in your transport company.
Fleet Management System
Having a Fleet Management System gives you a clear overview of all your vehicles, machines or equipment. In a system like this you can, for example, have mileage logs that automatically document all mileage, smart analysis tools that identify areas where you can save money, and real-time tracking that increases safety for all drivers.
GPS Tracker
In the past, it’s been tough to recover stolen items because of low quality tracking options. But thanks to modern technology, the chances are now much higher! With today’s GPS trackers, you can track your vehicles 24/7, decide rules on where the vehicle is allowed to drive, and get notified as soon as a vehicle deviates from the plan.
With GSFleet’s tracker, we have managed to recover 90% of all stolen items for over 30 years.
Temperature control
With refrigerated transport, for example, it is extra important to keep track of whether the temperature deviates, unless you want a risk of spillage, loss of quality and dissatisfied customers. A temperature control allows you to monitor the temperature in real time and the driver receives a notification as soon as it deviates from the predetermined levels.
Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs)
ELDs are used to automatically record driving and rest times for drivers. These types of tools are particularly useful for complying with legislation and improving drivers’ working conditions. With an ELD, you can ensure that the fleet complies with regulations and laws, you reduce your tedious paperwork and can offer your drivers a safe working environment.
Travel log
With a Travel log, you can finally document all mileage, which is important when tax agencies want to audit your business. By having the information documented, there’s no need to worry about incorrect tax calculations and fines. In addition, you get a detailed insight into how your vehicles are being used, helping you identify areas where you can save on unnecessary fuel costs, among other things.
Tachograph
A tachograph system helps you in several ways. For example, you can monitor all vehicles in the fleet – regardless of car brand and tachograph manufacturer. You get all the tachograph data gathered in one place where it is presented in an easy-to-understand way.
GSFleet’s Tachograph offers automatic data download and stores everything securely in the cloud. You get a customized solution based on your specific needs!
