Have you ever stayed awake at night worrying if your fleet is being as efficient as they can be?

If you’ve invested in a fleet management system, the answer is probably yes.

No doubt about it, purchasing a fleet management platform with vehicle tracking capabilities is a massive step in sharpening up your operation.

While basic GPS fleet management solutions enable you to track the progress of your vehicles, adding analytics to the equation dramatically increases their functionality. Now you can monitor and report on the key performance indicators that matter to your business.

Now that you’ve got the data in front of you, you can do something about it.

Performing on a vehicle-to-vehicle basis, you’ll be able to drill down deeper into the performance of both individual vehicles and drivers to find out if they’re as cost-effective as they could be.

Analytics will help you build an accurate picture of how your assets are being used. Real data is more reliable than your gut instinct. Data analytics tools will allow you to track individual vehicles or whole fleets more precisely. You might find some assets are lying idle, meaning you can downsize the fleet, or that others are in need of servicing after heavy use.

With vehicle tracking analytics tools, you’ll be able to:

• View specific details, dates, and times of events and trips.
• See how far your vehicles have travelled—and for how long—including how much fuel was used during specific travel.
• Get the best and worst vehicle rankings for key items like idle time, fuel waste, vehicle usage, and more.

As you might expect, it’s critical to understand that implementing a fleet management system in your business is not going to be an overnight success. You’ve got to work in close collaboration with it.

It may feel like a little “big brother,” but one may argue that individuals own the entitlement to minimise expenses.

The potential for a positive return remains; however, there are opportunities to further enhance it. Vehicle tracking cuts out the cluttered communication and shows you the black-and-white results so that you can make decisions that are good for business.

It’s your creation, after all, and demanding the best from all of your assets is how you grow.

So, how is the performance of your vehicle tracking analytics? Could they be improved?
