Telematics can help ease the burden related to high fuel consumption, driver safety concerns, costly maintenance requirements and much more.

App or smartphone-based telematics are becoming more and more popular among small and dynamic fleets. Large fleets are utilising this app technology to test drive fleet management and see whether it’s a good fit for their needs, without the big cost commitment.

If you’re still on the fence, this e-book explores all the ways that app-centric telematics can benefit your fleet’s safety, efficiency, scalability, downtime, driver privacy and much more so you can make an informed decision on what’s best for you.

Hardware-driven telematics solutions will always be the go-to for fleets in any industry but now that the world is more mobile and nearly every person has the capability to access a smartphone, app-centric telematics is on the rise.

We take a look at what exactly app-centric or smartphone-based telematics is, what fleet data it can track and measure, and which type of fleets telematics apps are ideal for.

The more advanced vehicle technology and manufacturing become, the more important it is for a symbiotic relationship to exist between OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and TSPs (Telemetry Service Providers). In the automotive industry, this refers to a company that manufactures parts in-house for vehicles and then those vehicles are sold under a value-added reseller’s brand name. OEMs sell products business to business while value-added resellers sell to consumers or other end-users.

The telematics industry has grown significantly over the past years. And this is due to the increased demand for advanced telemetry solutions that provide improved safety, increased efficiency and reduced expenses.

It is estimated that by 2023, 50% of product-centric businesses will have invested in a real-time transportation visibility platform. In addition, with the continuous invention of new digital technologies, vehicle manufacturers are equipping their vehicles with advanced connectivity and user technology services.

The use of application programming interfaces and software development kits has increased the use of telematics through integration with other business systems, namely maintenance, route planning, safety compliance and risk management.

Let’s discuss the top telematics trends that will take center stage in 2022.

No matter how small or large your fleet is, you generate a lot of data. This data is extremely useful but it’s often not utilised properly. There are many reasons for this but one of those are that the data is not organised properly.

This is where data integration becomes vital. It has the ability to combine all of your incoming data from multiple sources to provide a unified view. From there, you can pick out what information is most important to you, see emerging patterns, identify areas that need improvement and analyse the efficiency of actions taken.

To introduce you to the power of data integration, we’ve developed a white paper giving you some background on the technology and laying out all the benefits of it for your fleet.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that has been a source of research and interest since the early 1900s. However, today, AI is more attainable and present in everyday life than it was back then.

The fleet industry has embraced this technology because of the many benefits that it can provide when it comes to driving as much of the risk comes from human error. Using new AI technology and combining it with existing dash cams, that risk can be drastically decreased.

The main way to reduce carbon emissions is, of course, minimising fuel consumption as much as possible. However, there are actually many other factors that can help your fleet become more eco-friendly and even save you money in the long-run! In this e-book, we’ve laid out 7 easy ways a fleet of any size and in any industry can become more sustainable using the data it already generates on a daily basis.

Brexit came into effect on 1 January 2021, marking the day the UK left the EU. This has brought on new trade deals and legislations as well as many other changes for both individual and companies. In an article by the BBC, a fish merchant that has been in business for 60 years lamented the extensive new requirements that they have to meet to simply get one haul of fish to a country within the EU.

When it comes to climate change causing carbon emissions, vehicles are the main culprit. That’s why fleets are increasingly switching to electric vehicles. Worldwide, more and more governments are implementing regulations in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions and this has prompted many companies to become more conscious of their social responsibility when it comes to environmental issues.
