Discover the possibilities of digital fleet management
This is possible with IoT in fleet management
More transparency
With GPS tracking and a fuel level analysis, our fleet management solution prevents your vehicles from being used by employees or unauthorised persons for their own trips outside business hours. In the event of unauthorised use or theft, you are alerted by SMS or email. It also prevents theft of construction machinery. The route planner not only optimises trips, but also tracks the driving behaviour of your employees and makes it transparent. They therefore drive more responsibly and efficiently – which saves costs and benefits the environment.
Lower costs
Our solutions capture all the data (vehicle reporting & vehicle-specific billing) you need to evaluate vehicles and fleets economically, such as expected repair costs or expenses for insurance. This allows you to make more informed financial decisions with fewer risks. Route planning automatically finds the most economical route for you, thus reducing fuel consumption. The digital logbook can also help you save fuel: It documents driving behaviour that leads to higher fuel consumption, such as longer idle times or driving at excessive speeds – and thus helps to prevent it.
Reduced administrative workload
A fleet management solution significantly reduces administrative efforts. Master data management draws attention to expiring leasing contracts, TÜV inspections or expiring insurance policies. The digital driver's logbook records routes and standing times, thus accelerating invoicing and improving data quality. The driver's licence check via app and control seal relieves your employees and avoids errors.
Legal security
For fleet managers, it is crucial to be able to prove compliance with legal requirements at all times. Our fleet management solutions relieve you of the organizational burden of documenting driver data, tachograph discs or instruction. With our solution, the driving licence check is done via app, for example. It can be carried out by the driving personnel regardless of location and time, and the test data is immediately documented in the portal. This standardizes documentation, gives you security during audits, and simplifies the identification of violations by driving personnel.
Better service
It is crucial for your customers that they receive their goods reliably and undamaged at the agreed time. Our navigation avoids surprises by taking traffic data such as closures into account during planning. This enables the drivers to deliver and pick up efficiently. It also plans the loading order for efficient delivery. Because they transmit the vehicle's position in real time, they are able to make adjustments to the route at any time and provide customers with reliable predictions of the estimated time of arrival.
More sustainability
The transport sector is the third-largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany after the energy sector and industry, with around 20 percent of CO₂ emissions. Sustainability in logistics is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage, as customers increasingly expect transparency regarding carbon emissions. Our solutions accurately record kilometres driven and fuel consumption. That enables a more precise evaluation of CO₂ emissions. This in turn gives you the ability to view the CO₂ footprint of each vehicle to help reduce emissions across your entire fleet.
