Vehicle Data and Telematics
When thinking of a connected fleet you might have futuristic visions of autonomous vehicles, but this is not quite the case yet. Although connected fleets are omnipresent, the current presence of vehicle connectivity focuses on collecting data from the vehicles and help customers make smarter decisions about their fleet by translating data into actual strategies.
The vehicle data has been made available by the OEM and will be captured through a third party telematics provider and stored in a cloud-based platform. Once the data has been stocked in the cloud actions can be taken. The advantage of the wireless communication is real-time visibility on the collected information regarding the connected fleet. The exciting challenge in this field is to find new ways to use data, since a connected fleet only delivers value if data is used intelligently.
Technology is disrupting the traditional fleet management business. Fleet managers are constantly sourcing for solutions in order to gain time, reduce costs and meet KPIs. The emerging business of connected vehicles makes fleet managers turn to technology. Fleet telematics are the key to simplifying the existing processes and boosting fleets. Aftermarket telematics systems allow companies to manage the connected vehicle ecosystem encompassing not only the vehicle but also assets, drivers and tools. Vehicles evolve into an important part of the connected ecosystem through fleet telematics by putting the traditional aspects of a vehicle aside and focussing on technology.
