Securing Your Fleet Assets with Advanced Telematics

Vehicles often take centre stage in fleet management, but assets like on-site equipment are just as valuable. Various telematics solutions are available to secure and protect these assets. 

If you're reading this, you likely know all about the benefits of a professional, fully integrated fleet management solution. With it, drivers perform better, fuel savings abound, roads become safer, and everything runs more efficiently. 

But what if you're in an industry where the assets you possess are just as valuable and important to you as your vehicles and drivers? If something had to disappear or be tampered with, what impact would that have on your business? 

Keeping tabs 

Telematics companies are perfectly positioned to help businesses manage their assets through leveraging existing fleet management technology. Unlike manual systems, professional asset management solutions offer automatic, electronic registries of assets, their statuses and whereabouts so that they can be: 

• Located and tracked on a map - in real-time or historically 
• Managed in terms of service intervals and odometer readings 
• Billed accurately when rented out 

This improved control and visibility can dramatically reduce the costs of not knowing an asset's whereabouts. It also has the potential to optimise asset deployment and utilisation, which is handy when assets are regularly moved between depots and various worksites. 

No more one-size-fits-all 

The types of assets companies use vary greatly from segment to segment. For that reason, it's important to choose a solution that accommodates a wide variety of assets and operating conditions. 

Powerfleet's asset management solutions are designed to suit all kinds of assets in any segment, including: 

• Construction: Trailers, cranes, graders, pavers, rollers, mixers, power generators and compressors 
• Mining: Dump trucks, excavators, loaders, portable site buildings, modular spare parts and portable pumps 
• Oil & Gas: Frac tanks, portable silos, compressors, fuel bunkers, light plants and chemical dosing tanks 
• Transport & Logistics: Trailers (flatbed, enclosed, refrigeration or intermodal), containers, cranes and loaders 
• Utilities: Work trailers, cable stock, waste skips and bins

Even non-powered assets can benefit from Powerfleet’s asset management solutions, which are wireless, battery-operated, or solar-powered. For assets that are deployed in areas with little-to-no connectivity, there is an innovative low-cost option that leverages off of connected vehicles as they pass by the asset to report its location. 

Powerfleet strives to offer solutions to all of the challenges faced by our customers daily, not just those related to vehicles and drivers.
