Video Telematics Software by TrackoBit is the future of fleet management

1

• Efficiently managing fleet operations becomes a
  tedious task for fleet managers in the absence
  of a managing platform. To ensure on-time
  deliveries, they need to monitor their vehicles
  and most importantly whether the drivers are
  doing their jobs properly by following safe
  driving practices.
• Practically thinking about it, it is quite
  challenging to effectively monitor all of this
  manually as the process becomes time-consuming
  and may affect the smooth functioning of
  business operations. For example, for some of the
  biggest retail companies such as Amazon, it
  would be an impossible job to track all of their
  vehicles and deliveries daily. Here comes the
  role of Video Telematics software. Before we
  dive deeper to know more about this software,
  lets talk more about the challenges of manually
  managing fleet operations.
• Challenges of Manually Managing Fleet Operations
• Manually managing fleet operations can turn out
  to be a daunting task for managers. As fleet
  operations involve everything from tracking the
  performance of vehicles, and monitoring drivers
  to ensuring the safety of vehicles. Here are some
  ways by which manual fleet management can be a
  challenging task for fleet managers
• Limited Driver Monitoring Without the use of
  Video Telematics, keeping track of drivers can
  be a challenging task for fleet managers. The
  only way they can monitor driver behaviour is by
  performing occasional checks. This limited
  visibility can hamper both the ability to
  supervise drivers and the safety of the vehicles.
  For example, if the driver indulges in unsafe
  driving practices such as harsh braking or
  overspeeding, the fleet managers will never get
  to know and train the drivers on this part.
• Lack of incident investigation With video
  supervision, it can be easier for fleet managers
  to investigate incidents in case of collisions
  and accidents. Therefore, to know about these
  events they have to rely on police reports and
  witness statements. This makes it a
  time-consuming process. With the help of Video
  Telematics software, fleet managers can only
  monitor the behaviour of the driver but can also
  prevent accidents by getting real-time alerts of
  the possibility of collision.

• Restricted scope of driver coaching and feedback
  Giving feedback to drivers based on their
  performance is also possible without a video
  supervision system. However, with the help of
  video footage of drivers, feedback sessions
  become more smooth because fleet managers could
  more effectively catch up on the areas driver's
  improvement areas.
• Difficulty in maintaining operational efficiency
  Video supervision gives managers a way to
  effectively monitor one part of their fleet
  operations by tracking whether the driver is
  following safe driving practices. Apart from
  this, it also gives the status of what is
  happening outside the vehicle. Without video
  monitoring, it becomes difficult for fleet
  managers to monitor whether their vehicle is in
  safe hands.
• How can Video Telematics Software help your
  business overcome these challenges?
• Video Telematics Software is designed to help
  fleet managers run their businesses efficiently.
  It comprises two solutions Advanced Driver
  Management System(ADAS) and a Driver monitoring
  system(DMS). Lets know more about these
  solutions to get some clarity on the topic.
• Advanced Driver Management System(ADAS)
• Advanced Driver Management System is a solution
  that is used to monitor everything thats
  happening outside your vehicle. In ADAS, dash
  cams are installed facing the road. Through
  these dash cams, fleet managers and drivers get
  alerts if they are moving too close to other
  vehicles on the road and there are possible
  chances of collision. The system sends three
  types of alerts to the fleet managers namely
  rear collision, forward collision alerts and
  side collision alerts.
• Going a little overboard in ensuring the safety
  of the vehicle and consignments, ADAS also
  alerts fleet managers when drivers violate
  traffic signals, and indulge in overspeeding and
  unauthorized lane switches.
• Driver Monitoring system(DMS)

• overspeed or does anything that can put the
  vehicles safety into jeopardy, the system
  raises an alert in the vehicles and at the same
  time, sends screenshots of the entire footage of
  the driver to fleet managers.
• Therefore, by offering these two solutions, Video
  Telematics Software by Trackobit not only
  ensures the safety of the vehicles and
  consignment but also gives a chance to fleet
  managers to efficiently train their drivers in
  case of any inaccuracies in driving practices.
• How can Video Telematics Software help in
  promoting eco- friendly driving?
• Trackobits Video Telematics Solutions allows
  managers to closely monitor drivers driving
  patterns that familiarise them with repetitive
  and non-repetitive events the driver indulges in
  and ensure that the driver does not repeat them
  during his next trip. How will they ensure that?
  By giving proper feedback and training to the
  drivers.
• For example, if the driver repeatedly switches
  lanes unauthorizedly, fleet managers can note
  this pattern and offer their feedback to the
  drivers. This way they are not only ensuring the
  safety of the vehicles and the consignments but
  are also encouraging their drivers in following
  eco-friendly driving practices.
• FAQs
• What are some challenges that come with manual
  fleet management?
• Manual fleet management comes with several
  challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the
  reduced accessibility of fleet managers to the
  drivers. Video supervision makes it easier to
  monitor the drivers in cabin activities and also
  what happens outside the vehicle.
• Whereas, with manual fleet management it becomes
  difficult to monitor driver behaviour and offer
  proper feedback on their weak points. It also
  minimizes the efficiency of business operations
  because fleet managers would have to spend time
  performing frequent checks on their drivers by
  calling them during the trips, this time can be
  instead utilized in strategizing.
