Ten things to consider when choosing your fleet telematics partner
MECN looks at ten things fleet managers and organisations must consider when choosing their fleet telematics partner
Security and privacy
With telematics and GPS technology, we have understood that it’s possible to track and locate all the equipment, so fleet managers can be alerted when the equipment leaves the job site. In addition to this, telematics can be used to time-fence the equipment, which will automatically send alerts if the equipment is being used outside scheduled work hours or being operated outside the specified area. This is beneficial in case of theft and provides managers with the equipment’s location so that in the event, something does go missing, managers can provide local authorities with its last-known location. Certain advanced systems can also remotely turn off the machine if unauthorised usage is detected and prevent the machine from being operated during unassigned hours.
