Waste collection and recycling

Fleet management of waste collection vehicles is commonly focused on monitoring the execution of assigned routes, making sure that every waste bin or container on the path was is collected.In addition, driving behavior is analyzed to mitigate the risk of accidents and to lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

Construction equipment

Expensive construction equipment is frequently deployed to remote yards and left there until construction is completed. It is necessary to monitor these assets, not only to avoid theft, but also to keep track of engine hours in order to ensure that maintenance is performed at the right time. In the case of rented construction equipment, a maximum number of engine hours is often included in the contract, so keeping track of that figure is paramount to avoiding penalties and additional costs.

API (integration with external software)

Your human resources department needs a way to extract from Frotcom a list of mileages per driver, per month. They don’t want to exchange an endless number of Excel files. They want to click a button in your HR software and import the mileage for each driver. It’s as simple as that.

Emergency services

Emergency vehicles are very often used in life-and-death situations. That is why fleet management is among the mission-critical tools used by emergency services.
