December - 20196 logisticstechoutlook.comLinda James Managing Editoreditor@logisticstechoutlook.comWhen it comes to fleet management, technology has become an invaluable tool. Gone are days of using atlases to keep a track of where one travels. Today, satellite navigators on mobile phones provide real-time tracking and enable individuals to know the location they are at and direct them to the destination they want to go. The movements of entire fleets of vehicles can now be tracked and analyzed through advanced monitoring. Telematics is another technology that is transforming fleet management as a whole. Companies that manage huge fleets can use telematics to collect real-time information such as vehicle behavior, fuel usage, speed, mileage, and driver insights to increase productivity and reduce expenses. Telematics integrates improved communication tools with GPS devices and allows fleets to target and monitor the overall success of their safety initiatives. GPS saves lives by preventing transportation accidents, aiding search and rescue efforts, and speeding the delivery of emergency services and disaster relief. Since 2018, electronic logging devices (ELD) have also become a significant requirement in the trucking industry. And while this regulation has received much backlash, the digitalization of logbooks and the connectivity of the vehicle present vital insights to help track and dispatch. That being said, cost tracking and reporting solutions offered by fleet management software also help automatically manage fleet costs. Fleets previously had to spend countless hours updating accounting numbers and the tedious work was prone to errors. Cost tracking and reporting solutions offered by fleet management software help automatically manage fleet costs. Further, fleet management software provides solutions that streamline fleet operations with automatic service reminders, consolidated billing. As more fleet data become available, the need for an organized fleet management database to collect and analyze trends grows exponentially.In this edition of Logistics Tech Outlook, we bring you the story of Kansas City-based Super Dispatch which is emerging as a game-changer in the industry.
