Advantages of telematics
The advantages of telematics are endless. In short, telematics devices help you work smarter, not harder.
Monitor anything from one vehicle to an entire fleet. Gather accurate data, including vehicle location and activity, vehicle diagnostics, asset tracking, driver behaviour, tachograph data, temperature monitoring, and more.
What is Telematics?
Telematics (a combination of the word “telecommunications” and “informatics”) combines communications software with the internet and computer systems so that vehicle location information and data can be collected and sent to fleet managers for use in different business applications—ultimately for decision making and better fleet management.
Telematics technology facilitates the collection, sending, receiving, and storing of information relating to your vehicles via telecommunication devices. These devices typically plug in to ports on your vehicles and include SIM cards and an onboard modem that enables communication through a mobile network. The device then records and reports on various pieces of data. This can vary between providers, however; no single telematics system is the same as any other.
