A Look at Fleet Management with Your Fleet Size in Mind

When discussing or reading about fleet management, it’s often referred to in broad terms that perhaps don’t fully reflect the day-to-day operations of your particular business. Today, let’s break it down a bit so that you can better understand the specific role that GPS-based tracking technology, such as Spireon FleetLocate, can play in improving your fleet’s productivity and overall efficiency.

Generally speaking, fleet management is comprised of five main elements:

  1. Operational Cost-Effectiveness
  2. Vehicle Maintenance
  3. Driver/Workforce Management
  4. Vehicle Safety & Compliance
  5. Operational Efficiency

Each of these elements are important in its own right, but there’s a lot of crossover. If you want to improve cost-effectiveness by reducing fuel spend, you’ll also need to pay attention to maintenance. A check engine light that’s been ignored could mean the vehicle is burning through too much gas. And if more fuel stops are needed, you’re not only losing money but seeing a lag in operational efficiency.

Needless to say, the concept of fleet management is a delicate balance of all five elements. Although we know that for some fleet managers it feels more like you’re juggling flaming bowling balls. And that’s why the Spireon team is constantly working to improve our management solutions. We want to give you the visibility and control needed to manage all aspects of your fleet, minus all the stress.

So, what does fleet management mean to you, and how can Spireon’s FleetLocate solution help you reach goals such as growing your business and bottom line? Let’s take a look.
