Fleet Cost Management
Fleet cost management is the strategic approach to tracking, controlling, and reducing all expenses related to vehicle operation. The main cost items are fuel, maintenance, and labor, all of which can be significantly optimized using telematics data.
How does telematics help reduce the main costs of a fleet?
Fleet cost management is one of the most tangible benefits of telematics. It allows action to be taken on the three largest sources of expense.
Fuel
First, fuel, by optimizing routes to travel fewer kilometers, drastically reducing excessive idle time, and coaching drivers on eco-driving.
Maintenance
Second, maintenance, by moving from a reactive (expensive) repair model to a preventive or predictive scheduling model, which avoids serious breakdowns and towing.
Labour
Third, labor, by improving productivity through better dispatching (sending the right vehicle to the right place), validating timesheets, and reducing unauthorized vehicle use.
From cost to TCO
By consolidating all this data, a manager can calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for each vehicle and make strategic decisions about fleet renewal.
