For all the benefits those assets bring, their increased quantity means that fleet managers are also increasing the risk of loss through operator theft and/or misuse. According to [automotivefleet.com](http://automotivefleet.com), there’s an average of [2,248 vehicles stolen each day](https://www.automotive-fleet.com/318154/days-with-high-vehicle-thefts-ranked) in the United States alone, and these numbers increase on holiday when the majority of vehicles are supposed to be out of service due to holidaying drivers. Fleets contend with many related asset-tracking problems regularly, which ends up all but stalling productivity.

Or are you having to look for information in so many different places you aren’t sure how they connect? Have you lost a few along the way? In today’s business settings, everyone has many more tasks to attend to, and some things will slip through the cracks when we don’t use some simple tools to help us along. For instance, advanced [fleet maintenance software](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/preventive-maintenance) (e.g. [SM2- Maintain](https://www.coencorp.com/sitemanager)) and GPS tracking data have replaced the manual and time-consuming processes traditionally associated with managing your fleet maintenance. Since most of the other areas of fleet management are automated under your Fleet Management System software (FMS), automation should also be part of your maintenance management program.

In fact, they tend to complement each other in transparent 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.   [Read More](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/a-very-liquid-asset) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/a-very-liquid-asset#comments-listing) Topics: [fuel management](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fuel-management), [maintenance management](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/maintenance-management), [fleet management](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-management), [AVL](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/avl), [driver behaviour](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/driver-behaviour), [vehicle tracking](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/vehicle-tracking) [All posts](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/all) ### Subscribe Here! ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Tag - [fleet management (13)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-management) - [fleet fuel management (12)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-fuel-management) - [fuel management (10)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fuel-management) - [fleet maintenance (9)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-maintenance) - [maintenance management (7)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/maintenance-management) - [preventative maintenance (7)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/preventative-maintenance) - [vehicle tracking (7)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/vehicle-tracking) - [vehicle data (6)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/vehicle-data) - [AVL (5)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/avl) - [automated fuel management (5)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/automated-fuel-management) - [driver behaviour (5)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/driver-behaviour) - [real-time data (5)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/real-time-data) - [construction fuel management (4)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/construction-fuel-management) - [fleet management solution (4)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-management-solution) - [automated fleet data (3)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/automated-fleet-data) - [fuel management system criteria (3)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fuel-management-system-criteria) - [fuel tank management (3)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fuel-tank-management) - [maintenance software optimization (3)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/maintenance-software-optimization) - [public transit fuel management (3)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/public-transit-fuel-management) - [Mass Transit (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/mass-transit) - [fleet efficiency (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-efficiency) - [fuel inventory management (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fuel-inventory-management) - [how select fuel management system (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/how-select-fuel-management-system) - [mining (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/mining) - [mining fuel management (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/mining-fuel-management) - [preventive maintenance (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/preventive-maintenance) - [safety (2)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/safety) - [SM2 (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/sm2) - [automated reports (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/automated-reports) - [exceptions (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/exceptions) - [fleet GPS tracking (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-gps-tracking) - [fleet cost management (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-cost-management) - [fleet productivity (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-productivity) - [fleet safety (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-safety) - [fleet telematics (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/fleet-telematics) - [going green (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/going-green) - [how select maintenance management system (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/how-select-maintenance-management-system) - [oil and gas fuel management (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/oil-and-gas-fuel-management) - [public works fuel management (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/public-works-fuel-management) - [trucking (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/trucking) - [what is fuel management (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/what-is-fuel-management) - [why fuel management system (1)](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/why-fuel-management-system) [See all](https://info.coencorp.com/blog/tag/vehicle-tracking#) Call us Toll-Free or email us --- [T 450 672-4222](tel:4506724222) [F 450 619-6323](tel:4506196323) --- 1 866-COENCORP [ --- info@coencorp.com ](mailto:info@coencorp.com) [ --- 190-3705, Place de Java, Brossard (Québec) Canada J4Y 0E4 ](https://goo.gl/maps/PPNzAWRKnYB2) [![Coencorp](https://info.coencorp.com/hubfs/Coencorp_September2018/Images/coencorp-logo.svg)](https://www.coencorp.com/) © Coencorp 2021
