Fleet management

What is telematics?

Telematics is a combination of telecommunications and computer science. Why put them together? It makes it possible to send object-specific data to a central system. This enables the remote monitoring of vehicles and machines, which makes supervising and maintaining a fleet much easier! For example, want to know when the engine of a machine was active, and for how long? Telematics lets you check at any time.

How does telematics work?

Vehicles and machines are equipped with telematics fleet management software and tracked by a GPS system. Valuable data is transmitted from each machine to the owner or company and converted into useful information. This information is easily monitored, analysed and stored for future reference. You always know where your vehicles are and where they’re headed. Plus, you have access to a range of helpful details, including the speed the vehicle is travelling at, fuel consumption, engine efficiency, and more. 

How does telematics benefit fleet management?

A telematics system gives you the insights you need to optimise your fleet, regardless of the fleet size or specifics.

Enjoy a multitude of benefits with telematics:

• Get more out of your vehicles and machines with the data you need to maximise productivity.
• Save money by reducing operational costs. 
• Improve safety for your drivers. 

How can telematics serve you and your fleet?

You manage a fleet of forklifts, mobile elevating work platforms, mini-excavators, skid steer loaders or other industrial equipment. Business is good. Everything seems to be under control. But are you seeing the whole picture? 

Can you locate your machines at all times? Do you know who has been operating them? Or how long each machine has been active for? Do you know when each machine is due for maintenance?

Fleet telematics gives you answers to all these questions and more! When you have all the right information at hand, you’re able to ensure things run smoothly and efficiently.
