Fuel costs have risen an average of 35% since January 2008, and operators of small to medium sized fleets of delivery and service trucks are feeling the pinch. Getting the most from a vehicle fleet requires solving several interrelated problems:

  • Driver behavior – ensuring that drivers do not waste fuel through poor route choices or excessive speed/acceleration/location
  • Route scheduling & selection – ensuring that vehicles are assigned to the closest stops
  • Equipment maintenance – ensuring that tires are inflated, engines are tuned, and lubrication is current for engine and chassis.

Few small to medium sized fleet operators have the personnel, expertise, equipment, and information to address all of these problems. GAC’s Fleet Management Solution directly addresses the highest value issues through vehicle monitoring equipment, satellite and cellular communications, and intelligent fleet management exception reports.

 higher efficiency - lower cost - increased profit


GAC’s telematics equipment installed in or on the vehicle includes GPS location, interfaces to engine controls, and satellite communications. It sends vehicle and location information to GAC’s secure servers, which analyze, record, and report the information. Exceptions and alerts can be emailed or paged to the fleet manager or field supervisors immediately.

Fleet managers can also access servers via the Internet to generate fleet management reports. This offers real-time benefits to the fleet manager and to their customers.

 

 

 

Special benefits

FMS customers have reported these actual benefits:

  • Sales productivity gain, up 7.5%
  • Reduced non-business related stops by 57%
  • Reduced driving time by 20%
  • Reduced fuel expense by reducing idle time and routing optimization.

FMS’s quick, easy-to-use exception reporting capabilities monitor fleet compliance and are customized to each company’s specific business rules, such as: excessive idle time, speeding, driving after hours, driving out of zone, driving too many consecutive hours, driving too many miles.

Flexible Reporting Options


FMS also syncs and integrates with customers’ information systems, including accounting, fleet maintenance and service databases. This integration permits FMS to generate preventive maintenance reminders coupled with “what, when, preventive maintenance schedule and history.” This can improve decisions about asset life.

Specific benefits include:

Fleet vehicles and equipment assets are quite often a significant segment of a company's total net value and they represent a large portion of the total organizational operating expenses. How well these assets are managed can have a profound impact on profitability.

Effective fuel management is an integral part of fleet operations because fuel can fluctuate substantially due to many outside influences. Since fuel is the second largest fleet vehicle expense, its management requires careful scrutiny to take every opportunity for minimizing costs and mitigating risk.

Vehicle maintenance directly impacts productivity, driver satisfaction, corporate image, safety and environmental compliance, and the financial bottom line.

Customer satisfaction will improve information that fleet and maintenance managers, dispatchers; drivers need to make critical decisions. Companies can improve just-in-time delivery, reduce fuel costs and minimize vehicle downtime, overtime and other vehicle related risks.

Typical fleet organizations have an abundance of "data" stored in computer systems, but very little of it is translated into usable "information" to help manage the fleet. Our system allows companies to easily utilize fleet "data" and harness it in secure online useful reports that will aid in various decision-making processes, accessible from the internet, including:

Quick, easy-to-use exception reporting capabilities monitor fleet compliance. Exception reporting can be customized to specific business rules for each company, such as speeding, driving after hours, driving out of zone, driving too many consecutive hours, driving too many miles.
Easy integration in existing customers' ecosystems and business functions. For example, customers' accounting information, fleet maintenance and databases all easily synch with our technology.

Ease of use increases your profits. GPS Package functionality provides preventive maintenance reminders, tracks and monitors "what, when, preventive maintenance schedule and history." This leads to decisions about asset life.
