Additional Add-on Services
If you’re a fleet or asset manager who has taken the proactive approach of implementing Telematics to your vehicle operations, you may be reaping the rewards of geo-fencing without even knowing it.
Here at Fleetsmart we’re experts in such matters and want to inform our customers on how our products work for them.
In this article we will discuss exactly what Geo-fencing is, how it works as well as the benefits of utilising this technology.
A geo-fence is the name given to a virtual boundary or perimeter set in a real world geographical location.
Geo-fencing works by using GPS, RFID or cellular technology to trigger a pre-set programmed action, such as sending an alert notification when a device tag on a tracked asset enters or leaves a pre-curated virtual ‘fence’.
The mobile applicability of geo-fencing is huge, that’s why it is a perfect software to be utilised for vehicle tracking systems (Telematics), especially when your business has numerous expensive mobile assets that can’t be effectively monitored at once by traditional methods.
Telematics technology is the use of telecommunications and informatics to monitor an asset, eg. rental vehicle’s location, safety metrics and engine diagnostics in real time. Our proven solutions help you to keep track of your company’s mobile assets while providing a myriad of benefits for both your business and your customers. Telematics has proven excellent results in the following areas-
Asset tracking via means of geo-fencing provides the ultimate security boost, real time vehicle monitoring and geo-fence notifications (said to be ten times more effective than traditional push notifications) keep fleet managers and asset supervisors in the know regarding their expensive mobile property.
If your business has fallen victim to theft, the accurate tracking data as a result of geo-fencing can be used by the police as a property recovery tool.
Reports on idling time, bad driving habits, and even fuel usage can all help a business reduce on outgoings while simultaneously improving productivity.
Pre-selecting geo-fence perimeters around loading/unloading areas promotes non verbal communication, which can save your business time and money.
Geo-fencing allows for more optimised and efficient route planning, more accurate ETAs and trip adjustment factors.
It’s proven that Telematics can help boost productivity, employee efficiency and vehicle operations as a whole; all the while reducing hazardous driver behaviour, fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance costs.
Fleetsmart offer a range of the latest Telematics technology at extremely cost effective prices with scalable options starting from just £6.95 per vehicle per month.
