The utilization of fleet tracking technology has transformed how businesses oversee their fleet vehicles, providing real-time insights into their location, movement, and status. However, the advantages extend beyond mere vehicle tracking. Through harnessing telematics capabilities, fleet managers can elevate safety and liability measures, enhance efficiency, optimize routes, and streamline maintenance processes. This holistic approach results in substantial cost savings and operational enhancements.
Securing More Than Vehicles
While GPS tracking technology remains indispensable for Fleet Managers to monitor driver and vehicle whereabouts continually, telematics data (data from GPS technology plus on-board diagnostics) offers numerous benefits that you may not have considered that can allow you to maintain safety and compliance.
Top-tier telematics solutions offer a 360-degree view of your fleet's past, present, and future performance. This comprehensive visibility, ranging from generating proactive maintenance alerts to monitoring non-vehicle assets and equipment, extends beyond conventional tracking methods. Below are just some of the game-changing advantages of solutions like Linxup's Safety and Liability Solution that go beyond just vehicle tracking.
1. Optimizing Equipment Maintenance Procedures
Regular maintenance is important for preserving equipment condition and minimizing downtime. While applicable to vehicles, non-powered assets like trailers, drums, and large machinery are also perfect candidates for tracking solutions that can issue alerts for routine maintenance tasks based on planned intervals, equipment usage, and diagnostic data. Proactive scheduling of preventive maintenance lowers the chances of unexpected breakdowns, extending asset lifespan, and curbing costly repairs, ultimately saving both time and money.
Furthermore, effective equipment operation is crucial for cultivating a safe working environment, reducing the likelihood of employee injuries. Neglecting routine maintenance introduces hazardous working conditions, leaving the company at-risk to injuries, lawsuits, and compliance standard failures.
2. Preventing Accidents and Liability
Having eyes on your vehicles and drivers can do more than just reveal their locations. Monitoring driver behavior is essential for promoting safety, reducing fuel consumption, and minimizing wear and tear on your fleet. Advanced GPS tracking solutions can analyze data on driving habits such as speeding, harsh braking, and rapid acceleration to identify risky driving behaviors and provide targeted training to improve safety, reduce accident rates, and lower insurance premiums.
A comprehensive safety and liability solution with 360-visibility, which combines advanced GPS tracking with an AI-powered dash camera like linxCam, empowers Fleet Managers with a comprehensive record of driving and traffic data, serving as evidence for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 22% fewer crashes are reported among fleet-based businesses “when AI was implemented on route planning, which can detect roadblocks, heavy traffic, intersections, and roundabouts.” In total, across a variety of industries, telematics solutions help lower accident costs by an estimated 16-30%.
3. Elevating Company Reputation
Advanced safety and liability solutions with 360-visibility are valuable for maintaining a strong reputation among your customers and within your community. For starters, companies that combine telematics data, driver feedback, and coaching, experience a 50%+ reduction in safety-related events and close to a 60% reduction in the most severe safety-related events, giving your company a safety-conscious reputation.
Additionally, optimizing routes using telematics data leads to faster deliveries and more prompt service to your customers ahead of scheduled appointments or emergency visits, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. With solutions like Linxup’s new Shared Location feature, your drivers can even provide customers with a direct link that offers real-time map tracking of their trip progress, eliminating uncertain arrival times and increasing their peace of mind. This can go a long way towards improving customer loyalty.
