Main trends in productivity and fleet utilization
As you focus on making your fleet more efficient and productive, and ensuring that the vehicles in your fleet are put to good use, you need actionable data to support your ideas and claims. Fleet management software provides that data, and companies that implement it see a return on investment as their fleets become more productive and efficient. According to a recent report, 41 percent of fleets surveyed indicated that they use vehicle GPS systems. That number continues to grow, as more and more fleets find the benefits of vehicle tracking for their businesses. These are some of the benefits your company could experience by implementing vehicle tracking in your operations. Fuel savings related to fleet telematics
One of the first benefits fleet managers notice when using vehicle tracking is a reduction in fuel costs. This is due to a number of factors: First, drivers are more likely to take the most efficient route to a destination when their locations are tracked. Second, fleet tracking systems allow management to stop side trips and excessive idling, both of which increase fuel use. Finally, vehicle technology significantly improves maintenance and well-maintained vehicles get better fuel consumption. Improved environmental impact
Going green improves your company’s image in the eyes of the public. One way to go green is to use GPS vehicle tracking to improve routing and fuel usage. The estimated global impact of fuel use results in a reduction of 5 million tons per year in carbon dioxide emissions. Reduced working hours lead to improved payroll costs A surprising benefit of implementing tracking systems is the reduction in standard working hours. When employees drive more efficiently, they can often make more stops per day. In fact, companies report a 13 percent increase in stops after implementing fleet management software. Fleet utilization also increases by 15 percent. Both of these statistics add up to a shorter workday, without a decrease in the number of jobs performed. The average reduction is 10.6 to 8.5 hours, or 20 percent. This, in turn, reduces payroll expenses – the total nationwide cost savings due to reduced recorded payroll hours is $34.9 billion. That’s a staggering amount and one that should spark a greater desire to use these systems for your business.
