Fleet managers have a range of processes and systems at their disposal to improve fleet data management. However, many businesses still operate with disconnected data sources and rely heavily on manual data entry, reconciliation and analysis. As a result, they are invariably faced with inefficiencies, errors and lost opportunities.
IoT solutions for fleet management can resolve these problems and provide ample value in other areas. Automated fleet management platforms offer a simple, streamlined solution that bridges many of the gaps of manual processing. With an AI-powered platform to connect all your assets, devices and operational systems, a tailored approach can help you manage your fleet more efficiently.
The challenges of manual fleet data management
Inefficiencies are common for any business that manually performs logistics management and fleet data analytics. Due to human error, excess admin time, delayed decision making and data silos, relying on a manual approach creates many missed opportunities to save costs or improve operations.
“One of our clients manages thousands of assets across many bases, but siloed systems made it nearly impossible to turn raw telematics data into actionable insights,” says Inauro Chief Commercial Officer Max Girault. “Automated fleet management has helped this client bridge the gap between disconnected platforms, allowing them to unlock smarter, more efficient operations without the administrative burden.”
By integrating data from various telematics systems through application programming interfaces (API), fleet managers can automate processes, gain real-time insights and make informed decisions. Using fleet management software, these APIs allow various telemetry devices and systems to send data to a central platform, streamlining operations.
“Mixed integrated fleets have different manufacturers and devices reporting data, and geographical regulations that impact operations, such as managing service areas and crossing state lines,” says Max. “Automating these processes solves traditional challenges that fleet managers face.”
Automation also makes it easier to gather consistent data for reporting, such as fuel use across varied assets, providing a consistent fleet tracking solution.
Although the advantages of automation are clear, Max believes that many businesses still rely on manual processing simply because it’s the way they’ve always done it. “There could be a lack of understanding or market capacity around fleet manager software, and some businesses think they don’t have the resources to get this level of assistance running.”
However, maintaining a healthy and integrated telematics fleet is crucial for optimising operations, and thanks to IoT solutions for fleet management, it’s simpler to achieve than most realise.
