Telogis Fleet 8 is scalable GPS fleet management software that let’s fleet managers integrate planning and operational data, field variables (weather, traffic) and location-based intelligence to make informed business decisions.
Their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) GPS fleet management system drives rapid return on investment for fleets of all sizes through improved productivity and operational streamlining. Telogis Fleet 8 now incorporates dynamic traffic and weather data to allow fleet managers to make the most informed real-time routing and allocation decisions based on current conditions in the field.
New content includes:
Traffic – Telogis Fleet 8 imports real-time traffic data to allow fleet managers and dispatchers to re-assign jobs if they notice a major traffic jam or incident that prevents a crew from getting to their next job on time.
Weather – Real-time weather monitoring assists in both routing and planning. If the fleet manager notices a major weather pattern moving in, Telogis Fleet 8 helps them alert crews in the field as to whether they can continue working, or if re-routing while in traffic may help them get to their destination faster.
Streetside/Birds Eye View – Easily view the actual location and surroundings of your field team. This offers many benefits, including providing emergency response teams with the ability to determine the potential clean-up equipment needs based on surroundings (trees, utility poles, etc.).
Telogis Fleet 8 also offers new advanced tracking tools designed to reduce operating and administrative costs, and improve the safety and utilization of assets in the field:
Multiple Vehicle Histories – This allows Telogis Fleet 8 users to view the current and historical status of multiple vehicles in a single window. It easily tracks potential drags on productivity and cost, such as incidents of mobile workers congregating in a single location for too long, and speed vs. posted speed limit signs for known speeding offenders.
What Happened Here? – A new tool that simplifies the process of researching incidents at specific locations/times. It now takes seconds and helps expedite investigations into purported violations or incidents involving your company’s vehicles/equipment.
Fuel Card Module – Leverage fuel card data and GPS locations to better manage fuel purchases. In addition to recording fuel card transactions, the module compares the transactions to GPS-provided vehicle locations to verify authorized use. If a card is used without an approved vehicle within a specified range, that information is called out to the fleet manager.
Field Management Co-Location Module – Uses GPS to determine when a foreman/supervisor’s truck is located on a jobsite or other location related to the job, such as a maintenance shop or depot. This compares when a vehicle is specifically “co-located” at a jobsite with other field resources to determine how much time is spent on site. This shows each supervisor’s daily routine and allows management to make decisions about how field resources are deployed and supervised.
Telogis Fleet 8 seamlessly integrates with Telogis Route and Telogis Mobile to provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution for fleet management. It features numerous customizable modules and is available in three different editions: Standard, Professional and Enterprise.
Len Stark, director of technical services, Namasco Corporation said, “We used Telogis Fleet to recover a stolen tractor and trailer valued at over $100,000. Without Telogis Fleet, those items may have been lost forever.”
Productivity and fuel savings are areas that Morrow Equipment found benefited from the system. “We’ve reduced fuel consumption by nearly 30 to 40 percent by reducing commute times and eliminating unnecessary use of company vehicles by employees,” said Peter Juhren, corporate service manager.
