Technology to Keep Your Business on Top
Telematics
A combination of telecommunication and informatics, telematics works to provide data about fleet drivers and vehicles. When installed on a car, truck, or any other large motor vehicle, telematics allows management to receive large amounts of data, including:
- The vehicle’s position
- Speed
- Trip distance
- How long the vehicle has been running
- Idling time
- Sudden stopping or braking
- Fuel use
- Vehicle maintenance needs
When data is being delivered straight to fleet management, there are endless possibilities for improving driver performance and saving money for your business.
Get it Delivered
We do live in a mobile world now, where you can look up anything you want in a matter of seconds. With so much technology available, why not have data and information delivered straight to your phone? Rather than waiting for paperwork from a driver, or reports from human resources, get information in real time in the palm of your hand. With GPS tracking solutions, you can see exactly where your drivers are, where they are headed, and determine an arrival time. If you run a dispatch company, you can determine the closest available vehicle in seconds and provide them the most direct route to where they need to be. This allows drivers to save time, gas, and vehicle mileage.

Autonomous vehicles are still new on the scene, but the boom of driverless vehicles is in the very near future.
