Filling The Void: How Centralized Fleet Management Software Activates Telematics Data

Telematics systems have been logging data for fleet manager’s equipment for years, however, this information is relatively static when it isn’t incorporated into a larger system that allows for reporting and analytics. Integrating your telematics data with a comprehensive fleet management system allows fleet managers to turn static data into actionable information.

If you are currently using a telematics system to track fleet performance and are concerned your company is not making proper use of that data, you are not the only one. In this post, Fleet Cost & Care’s Technical Product Manager, David Thornton, discusses the problems telematics systems can solve and those it cannot. He also explains how centralized fleet management systems are essential in transforming data into action.

How Does Telematics Help Manage Fleets Of Equipment Across Multiple Job Sites And Multiple Regions?

Currently, there are many GPS providers that enable fleet managers to track their units across job sites, projects, and regions; and, some have started working towards a more granular approach by incorporating unit components. This is being achieved through a variety of technologies including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Long Term Evolution (we all know it as the 4G standard – LTE). These smaller, long-life battery powered systems enable fleet managers to track their non-motorized components with considerable accuracy.
