All-in-one Fleet Technology

Too many technologies, not enough time to manage them.

Does that problem sound familiar? Most fleet managers use more than one type of technology in their day-to-day. And while each technology has its purpose, each also comes with its own set of hardware, systems, interfaces, and features. Maintaining (not to mention learning) the various platforms needed to run a fleet is time consuming and can be a lot to juggle.

Technology overload isn’t just an issue in the fleet management field. Marketers, accountants, and professionals in all industries are urgently seeking a way to simplify and do more with fewer resources. And we certainly experience this overload in our personal lives. Laptops, phones, watches, TVs, and even home networks like security and temperature systems need to be synced, or they will take too much time and effort to manage independently. 

The fix we’re all looking for is a convergent, all-in-one solution.

The fix we’re all looking for is a convergent, all-in-one solution. Technology convergence simply means combining multiple solutions into one, in order to do more with less. 

Convergence can mean one device, or one system that syncs multiple devices. The most common types of converged “all-in-one” solutions are:

• All-in-one device: One device that does multiple tasks for you
• All-in-one system: One system that routes information easily through various devices, hardware, and/or vendors
• All-in-one vendor: One company that helps your devices and systems talk to each other

For fleet managers, convergence is defined as an all-in-one fleet technology solution that connects all the puzzle pieces of your operations to provide a single, clear view of your fleet.

Top benefits of all-in-one fleet technology

Some fleet managers have strong processes to manage their disparate technologies, but those processes still can’t compete with the power of all-in-one fleet technology. Here are the top reasons to use an all-in-one solution:

Reduce administrative busy work.

 

• Spend less time managing multiple subscriptions and communicating with multiple vendors

• Streamline daily workflows for drivers and fleet managers

• Focus your time on more things that matter for your fleet’s success

• Only receive the data that matters most to you

Optimize efficiency with clear information about what’s happening in the field.

 

• Provide accurate and fast service verifications and updates

• Improve vehicle maintenance processes and decrease vehicle downtime 

• Complete more calls, deliveries, or jobs

Ensure peace of mind by using fewer vendors and systems.

 

• Consolidate hardware, software, and systems

• Leverage API integrations

• Eliminate the need to remember multiple logins or constantly switch between apps

Connect all the dots with data on your drivers, vehicles, and services.

 

• Access vehicle video, risk insights, fleet tracking, driver safety, reports, and more in one system

• Pull video or GPS details into your own dispatch and job management systems

• View driver behavior and vehicle assignment data alongside your asset management or other fleet management tools

• Improve policy compliance and audit responses

Improve your decision-making using up-to-date, centralized data.

 

• Get actionable insights from a single dashboard

• Clearly understand where risk and inefficiencies exist

• Make informed decisions to help improve productivity, customer service, safety, or other fleet goals

Get the highest quality at the best price.

 

• Pay fewer subscriptions

• Maintain less hardware

• Increase your competitive edge using innovative technology that grows with your needs

How do fleet managers know if they need all-in-one fleet technology?

While convergence is an end goal for most fleet managers, it may not currently be an urgent priority. But it should be. Start by asking yourself these questions:

• How many technologies do I use on a daily or weekly basis?
• How much time do I spend on administrative work for all my fleet technologies?
• Do my current fleet technologies integrate with each other?
• Can I use one technology for all of my safety, compliance, vehicle maintenance, and fleet management needs?
• Do I have gaps in data that impact the business?
• How much money does my fleet spend on all its technologies?

After answering these questions, the next step is to outline your fleet technology needs, priorities, and budget. As you do this, start thinking about areas where you need to streamline fleet management. What would be different if you could integrate all your systems into one?

After identifying what you’re currently working with versus what you need, vendors like Lytx^® can guide you on selecting a customized all-in-one fleet technology solution.
