With all the pressures on modern fleets, there’s still three distinct challenges that top the list of priorities: how to streamline operations, enhance safety and drive sustainability for their operations.
What’s more, fleet managers are under increased pressure to manage all three in the most efficient way – and this is where adopting smart solutions that can help address multiple issues while also making overall operations smoother and more efficient.
Advancements in technology, elevating telematics into a multi-problem-solving mobility platform are having a markedly positive impact on driving cost reductions, operational efficiencies, safety improvements and alternative energy transition plans. The smart technology can be used to provide operational intelligence in real-time, to deliver valuable and actionable insights that fleet managers can turn into informed decisions.
Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Teletrac Navman’s TN360 fleet management platform delivers telematics functionalities in real-time through a single pane view, providing businesses with simplified, smart, predictive and actionable insights, and also integrates with other business operations software for more efficient decision making. It analyses fleet data to highlight instant shortcomings and opportunities. Areas of analysis include route planning, logistic workflows, maintenance, compliance, driver behaviour, and fuel management.
Advanced fleet management platforms such as TN360, with the ability to integrate with AI-enabled smart dashcams, provide a view of both inside and outside the vehicle to give fleet managers the complete picture on the roads. These insights can be fed back to drivers in real-time for instant adjustments, as well as help to inform future training and rewards programmes for those who demonstrate safe driving – a strategy which also helps to retain drivers and make them feel more valued.
Adding to the list of challenges fleets face is the continuous pressure to change to low carbon energy types in an efficient and cost-effective way, all without disrupting business operations. That’s why Teletrac Navman has designed a new smart tool to help simplify what can be a very complex process. EVE (Electric Vehicle Evaluator) by Teletrac Navman is an electric vehicle (EV) transition platform that utilises telematics data and predictive analytics to build a plan that supports a fleet’s decarbonisation goals.
Designed to work in tandem with TN360 through an integrated dashboard, EVE helps to identify the vehicles suitable for transition to electric based on trip and cargo data and the optimum battery and charger types to use. It also indicates which vehicles would be more cost effective to transition through a detailed cost analysis of the total cost ownership (TCO) between EV and ICE. Finally, the tool models the most efficient charging infrastructure to support and sustain a transition plan from start to finish.
Thanks to Teletrac Navman’s solutions, fleet managers can save precious time making operations more efficient, while also enhancing safety and driving sustainability for their operations, all tracked through a single pane of glass in TN360.
