Fleet Management Automation: What to Know

Written by Joe Kinney | Dec 11, 2015 5:00:00 AM

Companies that operate vehicle fleets face different challenges at different stages of growth. But customer service, fuel costs, driver behavior, and vehicle costs matter at almost every stage.

There are so many moving parts to fleet management that any business owner and fleet manager has a laundry list of tasks and would benefit from fleet automation.

What is Fleet Automation?

Fleet automation uses technology to streamline common fleet tasks and improve operating efficiency.

For example, reports that were once completed manually — timecards, speeding reports, landmark activity, and other fleet summaries — can often be generated and delivered automatically.

What if instead of worrying about every driver, you had the ability to manage by exception. Set up rules and thresholds that you define and be alerted via email or text if any of your drivers pass that line. No messages received means that the fleet is doing exactly what you need it to be doing.

What if you could control fuel costs by controlling speeding which in turn affects fuel costs?

The GPS fleet tracking application from Zonar allows you to do just that. Fleet automation can help reduce manual work, support faster decisions, and make it easier to manage by exception.
