Technology is constantly changing, and this is no truer than in the fleet automotive world. Just like a business manager at a finance company relies on programs and systems to help run his troop, the same goes for fleet managers managing a party of cars.
Car fleet management is important because it gives you the peace of mind and benefit of having a company that is well-organized. When great management is in place, the rest of your company can run like a well-oiled machine.
When the process of vehicle tracking (utilizing technology such as telematics) is in operation, you’re able to easily monitor driver activity which keeps your business abreast of what’s happening with workers on the road. With driver management, you can keep the morale of your business in check and improve that satisfaction of your workers, which makes a happier work environment and less expensive turnover.
At Corporate Fleet Services we offer things like DMV record checks to help clients be aware of the driving history of workers. This background history provides the necessary information for proper delegation of employees. We also provide bi-annual reviews of your fleet to search for any problem areas to make sure you’re continuing to save money and are getting the most out of your investment.
But then there’s the technology aspect, such as telematics, that is important to car fleet management as well.
Here’s a look at some popular GPS software that’s designed to make car fleet management much more easier:
