Telematics are everywhere you look these days, and they’re also on the minds of pretty much every fleet manager out there. And given that maybe 20% of fleets, at most, have incorporated them thus far, the time for telematics is most certainly upon us.
On Thursday and Friday of this week, I will be attending Connected Fleets USA 2014 in Atlanta, and I’m pretty excited to immerse myself in learning more about the various benefits that telematics have to offer fleets — and network with some of the key players.
Speaking of telematics, we’ve got some great content on the topic in today’s issue, including a video of Rob Donat from GPS Insight talking about how you can easily optimize your drivers’ routes, every day. We’re also featuring a video from Kevin Moore from Telogis talking about how you could almost think of connected vehicles as smart phones on wheels, and an article on why fleet tracking is so important during winter driving conditions.
Keep watching this newsletter — Fleet Management Weekly — for more updates and info on telematics!
