What has changed in the fleet world, my views around solution as a provider and owner

Look like it been a decade, still remember being a newbie to telematics and fleet management space. Words like E-log, ADAS, autonomous system, rag score, tachographs, and many more ghosted words. These got me a nightmare at the start every-time someone came up to me to ask how the TPMS system works, all I could say is I guess well.

Things have changed in the last ten years the journey has been about regulations and management operational cost for most of the fleet owners. The gap between compliance-driven system and revenue centric operations is what keeps the owner of the edge. In my experience as one of the industry’s best productivity solution for Fleets ops, the big nightmare for any owner was survived through the week and waiting on revenue actualization. Most of the. Businesses have a good top-line but the cost of operation cuts down the profits. How do we change the situation is the thought all have. But find a best fit and pocket friendly solution is always a jog uphill.

As per a provider and user, here are my thoughts while looking at some productivity tools.

How does the solution change the current processes?

This could be about process change, impacts, time-consuming, ease of application, and all the dynamics that could make a John and Paul work harder.

Is it a cost-saving vs Revenue generating solution?

This is thought which most of the users aren’t sold on largely. The solutions are categorically enablers or enhancers. The cost of ownership curves the path accordingly.

Fitment and Future? Does the solution make my and my colleague’s life easy?

I would always prefer a solution that could provide me an extra hour a day with my family and a holiday buffer a quarter.

I do have an extensive list of why’s and why not’s. I would love to hear from other friends as well. But all being said this has been a quiet roller coast in and around my small world
