What is Fleet Tracking?

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

GPS fleet tracking uses telematics systems to collect data from an entire fleet of vehicles and assets. Using a GPS tracking device attached to a vehicle’s OBD port or CAN-bus, this data is normally collected in near real time (actively), so it is more useful for fleet managers and business owners, who can use the data to make strategic decisions about operations (e.g., Which vehicle should I dispatch to a new job? Where is the nearest crane? How many generators do we have in the yard? 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 and harsh cornering
Driver safety with integrated dash cams
Fuel consumption, reducing fuel usage and fuel costs
Optimise routing for delivery drivers
Compliance with EU and UK drivers hours rules
Fleet maintenance costs by tracking vehicle diagnostic information
Asset security with geofencing functionality

GPS fleet tracking is an important part of a fleet management system.

Verizon Connect fleet tracking software intelligently interprets the huge amount of vehicle location data coming in from the fleet and converts it into easy-to-use reporting dashboards and exception alerts.
