MANAGEMENT
A
fleet can hit every target-
deliveries on time, satisfied
customers, new business
A connected network is vital to
rolling in-and still not see the profit
margins it expects. Why? The answer
lies in hidden costs that silently
or unexpectedly eat away at your
bottom line.
They come in many forms: excessive
fuel consumption, inefficient routes,
prolonged idle times, accidents,
and sudden repair bills. Eliminating
them from your finances is critical
to success.
THE POWER OF CONNECTIVITY
Fortunately, today's fleet technology
connects every vehicle with the
business hub, giving managers
real-time, actionable insights that
help them spot inefficiencies and
cut costs. With the right tools, what
used to be a painstaking, manual
process is now streamlined, allowing
fleet managers to focus on growing
their business.

monitoring everything, from fuel usage
to driver behavior. With a centralized
platform collecting data across your
entire operation, you detect areas
where costs spiral out of control, letting
you act immediately to stop waste
and inefficiency.
FUEL EFFICIENCY: SMARTER
TOOLS, BIGGER SAVINGS
Fuel is one of the greatest and most
unpredictable expenses in fleet
operations, but it doesn't have to be.
While you can't control gas prices, you
can control how efficiently you use fuel.
Fuel efficiency tools let you accumulate
data on consumption, helping you
identify inefficiencies, compare usage
rates, and take action to cut down
on waste.
Customized electronic notifications
and reports (like fuel level alerts) allow
fleet managers to identify unnecessary
idling and wasteful driving habits and
start taking measures.
KEEPING YOUR FLEET ON THE
RIGHT TRACK
Efficient routing is crucial for
cost control. Advanced platforms
optimize routes to minimize fuel and
mileage, ensuring your fleet takes
the most cost-effective paths. You
can proactively identify deviations
and anticipate fuel consumption
by visualizing your fleet's routes,
destinations, and estimated arrival
times on platforms like Google Maps.
This strategic approach can lead
to significant savings. For example,
Thompson Trading in the Bahamas
realized a $4,000 annual fuel cost
reduction by streamlining routes for
their 29-truck fleet using GPS Trackit.
KEEP EXPENSES IN CHECK
Fuel fraud and unauthorized fuel
purchases can quietly drain your
budget, but fuel card integration
provides a powerful solution. By
integrating fuel card systems into
the software platform, managers gain
