What is Fleet Tracking?

Fleet tracking is a management system that uses GPS tracking to monitor the activity of fleet vehicles and assets (e.g., workers, equipment). It is often referred to as vehicle tracking or AVL. A fleet is generally a collection of land-based assets, such as cars, trucks, field workers and powered or unpowered equipment (e.g., trailers).

GPS fleet tracking uses telematics technology to collect fleet performance metrics from commercial vehicles and assets. Using a GPS tracking device, this data is normally collected in near real time (actively), so it is more useful for dispatchers, fleet managers and business owners. Fleet tracking software can help to make strategic decisions about fleet operations (e.g., Which vehicle should I dispatch to a new job? Where is the nearest crane? Is unauthorised personal use of vehicles a problem? Has my lone worker returned from the jobsite?)

Benefits of a fleet tracking system

An effective fleet tracking solution can help improve:

Driver behaviour by reducing engine idling time, harsh braking and hard cornering
Fuel consumption and reduce fuel usage and fuel costs
Dispatching with intelligent routing
Fleet maintenance costs by tracking vehicle diagnostic information
Fuel tax reporting
Asset security with geofencing functionality

GPS fleet tracking is an important part of fleet management software.

For fleet tracking to be effective you need fleet tracking software that intelligently interprets the huge amount of data coming in from the fleet and converts it into easy-to-use reporting dashboards and exception alerts.
