Safer driving and decreased driver turnover are just two of many positive outcomes X2o saw once they implemented the telematics solution from Azuga Fleet Mobile.
Fleets can find some of their greatest savings in annual expenses, including millions in both direct and “hidden” costs, by preventing accidents. That’s the message the CEI Group, Inc. (CEI) will be bringing to attendees of the Risk Management Society’s 2015 annual conference in New Orleans next week.
“The word still hasn’t reached every fleet that a significant number of vehicle collisions can be prevented through the right kind of driver safety program,” said Brian Kinniry, CEI’s senior manager of strategic account services. “We’ve seen accident rates reduced by up to 35%, and that’s saved fleet tens of millions of dollars just in avoided repair expenses. With the hidden costs added in, the number can be several times that amount.”
Since GPS tracking was first introduced to the fleet industry, there has been a debate whether this technology is really beneficial for fleets or not. Some of the most common objections include the fear of employee pushback, budget concerns, big data and not knowing what do with it.
On the other side of the discussion, businesses that have implemented GPS tracking to their operations believe the "great debate" shouldn't even exist. Fleets that use GPS tracking technology have been able to increase productivity and efficiency, reduce costs, improve safety, and overcome many other business challenges.
To help you decide if this technology is right for your fleet, compare the common objections versus the benefits to GPS tracking in this helpful white paper from GPS Insight.
PARS launched its new public website at www.parsinc.com along with its new branding.
According to PARS president Lori Rasmussen, the new website is the first step in a much broader program to utilize state-of-the-art technology in support of its broad array of value-added ancillary fleet services.
These enhance the value of the company’s vehicle transport services for busy fleet managers who face more complex vehicle transport requirements.
It's an exciting time in the fleet industry, and changes and opportunities are everywhere you look.
