Asset tracking problems = lost revenue

As fleet operators, companies acquire a range of mobile assets for a variety of reasons. For all the benefits those assets bring, their increased quantity means that fleet managers are also increasing the risk of loss through theft and/or misuse by operators.

Where Your Fuel Management System Makes You Money

When discussing the high costs of fleet management, our customers often tell us fuel consumption is on par with expenses related to labor. In fact, they tend to complement each other in clear and trackable ways. The most obvious is when your fleet increases in size, so do labor and fuel expenses. However the relational increase isn’t always a one to one ratio. The question is why it sometimes seems to increase exponentially.
