Immeasurable Benefits of Fleet Management Software in the Transportation & Logistics

Introduction

The client is a logistics and transport organization operating a large fleet of vehicles, including heavy-load trucks, serving customers across the entire country. The client approached us at Trinetra Wireless to find a comprehensive solution for their continuously moving fleet of trucks, which traverse the nation from one location to another location. The Fleet managers’ objectives revolved around the need to closely monitor and manage fleet operations, with a focus on enhancing safety, unwanted vehicle idling time, driver safety, improving productivity and optimizing resource utilization.
