When it comes to fleet management, many companies have realised the benefits it can yield in terms of cost and efficiency. Unfortunately, there are a lot of companies out there that have put together what they call a “one size fits all” solution. Unfortunately, in this industry it is impossible to have a completely effective solution that is not customised for your business.
There are two very important aspects in properly managing your fleet, driver behaviour and vehicle performance. Most of the time, your fleet will be out of sight, and you are therefore unable to monitor what is happening on the road. On top of this, each vehicle is treated differently and the data provided must cater for that. This is why Orchid Telematics provides customised fleet management solutions via Orchid FMS 5 – which is a modular and scalable system backed by comprehensive technical support, and configured to your specific requirements.
Of course, there are key issues within all industries, including the likes of fuel consumption and vehicle damage. These issues will all be covered using this vehicle tracking and fleet management system as you can highlight bad driving habits which waste fuel and increase wear and tear, and even track route selection. Once you know which areas need to be improved, you are able to properly concentrate on training for each driver.
The Orchid FMS 5 system will give managers real time reporting (via SMS and email reports) so that you are alerted whenever predefined parameters are breached, including vehicle speed, idling, over-revving, harsh braking, route deviation, PTO applications and excessive driving hours. All of this is done through user-friendly reports that provide instant access to all the vital statistics.
Orchid Telematics achieves its success by going through a comprehensive consultation with all clients to find out exactly what is needed. Other solutions will simply swamp managers with too much information, which makes it difficult focus on what actually needs your attention.
