Vehicle fleet monitoring system - what is it, and how does it benefit the customers of a transport and logistics company?

Collecting data from various sources, such as GPS devices, electronic logging devices and third-party data providers, monitoring systems deliver valuable insight into vehicle fleet performance to logistics staff and their customers.In this post, we will look at how a vehicle fleet monitoring system can benefit not us as a transport company - but you. The customer.

1. Schedule efficiency. One of the benefits of using a fleet monitoring system is that it can help you optimise your transport schedules and routes. For you, this means that your freight will arrive on time - and along the most cost-effective route.

2. Less wear and tear on vehicles. Fleet monitoring systems can also be used to monitor and schedule vehicle maintenance. By tracking how often and how far vehicles drive, transport companies can ensure that the cars are not worn out to the bones yet. As a result, this helps to extend their lifespan and prevents costly and stressful breakdowns on the road. For both parties!

3. Safety. Monitoring systems are an excellent tool for increasing the safety of both drivers and the loads they carry. If a collision or accident occurs, transport companies can use the data from a fleet monitoring system to locate vehicles and ensure everyone is safe - or respond accordingly. In addition, by knowing the location of their vehicles at all times, it is easier to take steps to avoid accidents or theft hotspots (e.g. during an overnight stop).

4. Full control and peace of mind. For customers entrusting their goods to a transport and logistics company, they must be confident that they are being handled safely and efficiently. A fleet monitoring system provides this peace of mind by responding promptly and substantively to any queries relating to the transport.
