A major portion of your budget goes toward fleet related expenses, which is why your vehicles and logistics should become the center of your operational intelligence. To help you achieve a high level of operational intelligence, we’ve answered common questions regarding its concept and implementation.
Tactical intelligence has a lot to do with reactive risk mitigation, meaning that issues within your fleet are solved as and when they happen. Operational intelligence embraces a broader strategy of identifying and predicting potential risks and putting measures in place to prevent them.
Operational intelligence is about understanding the statistics and data that represent what’s happening in your business. It also involves the translation of that information into a format that can be easily understood and acted upon. With AI on the rise, much of this can now be done automatically, but it’s still up to owners and managers to execute what needs to be done, and know why they’re doing so.
Cartrack is a leader in fleet intelligence because our software collects comprehensive, quality data that gives company stakeholders a full picture of how your fleet is performing. We also provide tools that allow you to take action so that you can achieve the operational outcomes you’re after.
The best strategies for fleet success are to adopt a digital mindset when it comes to making decisions. Using facts and data (and learning how to interpret these advantageously) allow you to set goals, reach objectives, and grow your fleet to the benefit of your company. In between all of this, you’ll spot risks by predicting them with more assurance, save money by eliminating waste, and increase profits by expanding.
Business intelligence (BI) looks at what HAS happened as opposed to operational intelligence (OI) which looks at what WILL happen. BI is reactive in nature instead of proactive. BI is also more general, while OI is targeted, speedily executable, and performance-driven.
Smart fleet management refers to the use of AI algorithms, smart applications, and technology in general when approaching fleet management. Companies who embrace smarter technology will save time, waste less, and build a stronger reputation in the eyes of customers, suppliers, and affiliates.
The best fleet system you can buy will depend on the nature of your fleet and the features you want for collecting data (location, camera footage, driver behaviour, fuel metrics, vehicle health, etc.). Many fleets need as much data as they can get to execute smart fleet management, while others focus on only some. Cartrack is a strong contender because we allow you to tailor your fleet package according to what your fleet needs at any given time.
The cost of Cartrack’s fleet system will also depend on the features you choose, the size of your fleet, and your fleet objectives. Feel free to call us to have a discussion about what you want to achieve and how we can help you get there.
The best way to explain how Cartrack boosts your operational intelligence is to show you through our demonstration process. Because every fleet is different, we let you select the tools you want, train you on how to use them, and then support you throughout your time using them.
Cartrack helps you to reduce fuel expenses through quality data that’s aimed at identifying waste. It could be something as simple as excessive idling from your drivers, or something more serious like fuel theft/fraud. Whatever’s causing your fuel costs to spike, we’ll show you where you can stop waste and optimise every drop of fuel you pay for.
Yes, Cartrack’s system can integrate with the software you already have, whether it’s ERP or accounting software. It’s designed to boost your current process, not necessarily replace it.
Cartrack’s AI cameras provide operational intelligence to your drivers through coaching opportunities. There are on-the-spot corrections that can be done while your driver is on the road, but there are also comprehensive reports (together with visible footage) that can be used by you to conduct coaching sessions.
