THE NUMBER 1 RESOURCE FOR VOCATIONAL TRUCK FLEETS
Geotab will begin integrating Ford vehicle data into its telematics platform for its fleet customers under a new partnership, Geotab has announced.
Although more fleets use technology than ever before, most organizations lack a data-driven approach to running their businesses, according to data from Teletrac Navman.
Mike Branch of Geotab and Dain Giesie of Enterprise Fleet Management will demonstrate how artificial intelligence and big data are being leveraged to spec vehicles based on vocation, topography, city density, and even local weather patterns.
Fleet Advantage reached out to the fleet industry to discuss the gap that remains for today’s fleets in the way they utilize data and business intelligence to run their trucks and fleet operations.
Just like the evolution of VMRS codes helped make vehicle repair more efficient, so too will the next wave of evolution — artificial intelligence and machine learning.
In the future, your truck will know who you are, how you want things set up, where you’re going, and when you need to get there.
Mark Buzzell is no stranger to fleet. As the prior president and CEO of Ford of Canada, one of his key responsibilities was managing its Canadian fleet business. Buzzell understands fleet and recognizes its importance to Ford.
Is predictive maintenance any different from preventive maintenance? Both have the ultimate goal of preventing unscheduled problems and repairs. In short, yes! Predictive maintenance takes preventing issues one step further, utilizing data and information specific to a fleet and specific vehicles.
Preventive maintenance programs are yesterday’s news. Tomorrow’s fleet manager is working on predicting issues before they even occur.
Change is coming fast and furious to the fleet market. Staying on top of all the new trends and technology is a full time job for most fleet managers.
