The new year brings with it new business opportunities and, in the case of fleet management, new digital solutions to better automate your workflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your team’s goal should always be ensuring that your enterprise has the best solutions provider for meeting your fleet’s individual needs. That\u2019s why there are some key aspects to bear in mind before renegotiating your business contract.<\/p>\n

When assessing your business needs (and how your existing provider has measured up over the past year), you will want to ask yourself several questions, including: How safe were my drivers because of our software? How many of our vehicles remained secure? Were compliance or servicing issues addressed ahead of time? Did route optimization software really work for us? Was delivery route optimization successful? <\/em><\/p>\n

On a more nuanced scale, the following factors provide a framework for assessing the services and expertise of your fleet solutions provider.<\/p>\n

Technological & Industry Expertise<\/h2>\n

In the fleet industry, time is money (literally). Whether you operate in construction or the emergency industry, you need a solutions provider that can tailor technology to fit your industry needs.<\/p>\n

With the emergence of recent ELD mandates<\/a> and the constant evolution of digital technology, it’s wise for all fleet-related industries to stay ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you choose your provider wisely, taking into consideration both technological know-how and effective, scalable optimization for your specific industry’s needs.<\/p>\n

Scalability<\/h2>\n

All fleets have had to adapt to major changes over the past few years; the pandemic, a global backlog in supply chain, regulatory compliance changes and the ongoing shortage of trained drivers have all contributed to a seismic shift in how fleets operate.<\/p>\n

Across industries, fleets need the flexibility to either scale down or grow their operations on command. Make sure your fleet solutions provider has the bandwidth and digital tools to help your enterprise grow responsibly.<\/p>\n

Support Capabilities<\/h2>\n

The best part of having the right fleet management software is the 24\/7 support. With resources available on a continuous basis, your drivers are never alone. No matter how near or far from home, fleet tracking software can help your team stay safe, automatically recording videos of accidents, anywhere on Earth.<\/p>\n

Fleet command centre support has never been better, offering a growing toolbox of telematics that include live real-time asset tracking, vehicle temperature tracking, driver safety coaching, and so much more.<\/p>\n

Innovative Culture<\/h2>\n

A good fleet management solutions provider<\/a> should be both wise and nimble, not only in adapting to emerging software capabilities, but to stay steps ahead of industry needs. In the telematics industry, the motto is ‘measure or perish.’<\/p>\n

An innovative<\/a> telematics provider will be able to fine tune your specific fleet needs and pair them with the best of emerging technology\u2014in tracking devices, software interfaces and command centre platforms. Don’t make the mistake of trusting your fleet’s integrity to a provider that’s unable to out-innovate both the competition and global challenges.<\/p>\n
