Asset utilization
Are the vehicles underused, overused or are there gaps regarding acquisition? Do you need more vehicles, more specialized car trackingor just better use of the assets that are already available to you from the company? You may be wondering if some of these actions can be taken, but you do not have the necessary data on your fleet activity to make an informed decision. With the help of a fleet management solution, the use of your assets is within reach of your keyboard.

Activity area
In some companies to do business, employees must travel to visit their customers or develop their number of prospects using commercial vehicles. This activity can be done in specific areas, leaving other areas untapped. Finding them on a map or in a series of reports obviously differs from a simple guest address book- it gives a return on new areas to explore.
