Frequently Asked Questions

01
How do telematics actually help to reduce cost and increase safety?

Telematics helps you identify risky driving behaviors, monitor vehicle health, reduce idling, optimize routes, and plan maintenance before breakdowns happen. Paired with video and predictive analytics, it delivers real-time insight that prevents costly downtime, improves driver accountability, and extends asset life.

02
How does a telematics partner help improve fleet ROI?

A true partner improves ROI by reducing operational costs (fuel, maintenance), increasing productivity through optimized routing, enhancing safety to lower insurance premiums and accident-related expenses, and extending asset life through proactive vehicle health monitoring.

03
How important is integration with other systems or hardware?

It’s essential. Telematics data becomes exponentially more valuable when it flows seamlessly into your maintenance, fuel, FMIS, ERP, and other business systems. Disconnected platforms create blind spots. A partner who can integrate all or any of your systems helps eliminate those gaps and gives you a full picture of fleet performance.
