Sentinel FM - Real-Time Fleet Management
Improve visibility, intelligence and security of your fleet and mobile assets.
Large fleet operators and owner/operators face unprecedented challenges today. A challenging economy coupled with rising costs has put additional pressure on fleet operators to reduce vehicle operation and maintenance costs. Laws and regulations governing hours of service, fuel purchase, and idling times have created a paperwork nightmare for fleet operators, who must accurately monitor and report on fleet performance. Environmental concerns have driven fleet operators to ‘green the fleet’ to lower fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions through enforced anti-idling restrictions, fleet right-sizing, route and asset optimization, and proactive vehicle maintenance programs. And finally, fleet operators continue to struggle with limited visibility over their drivers and critical fleet assets and are actively seeking ways to improve communication and real-time visibility to increase operational efficiency and improve customer service.
