Fuel management
You can't explain why fuel consumption fluctuates across your fleet. Without accurate monitoring, it's impossible to know whether the cause is driving behavior, vehicle inefficiency, or even theft. You need to get to the bottom of things, discover what is happening across your fleet, and uncover opportunities to save on fuel and optimize operations.
Get an alert when a vehicle is late for departure or arrival
When you configure alarms for a route, you have an option to be alerted immediately if the vehicle is late departing, or for arrival:
You just need to select Alert Immediately, and instead of receiving a notification when the vehicle departs/arrives, you will be informed immediately if Frotcom detects it is late for either activity.Find out today how Frotcom can help you manage your fleet of vehicles.CONTACT US
