How telematics driver ID easily pushes up your fleet productivity.jpeg

The telematics driver ID feature is no doubt a useful method of security as the system only allows authorised drivers to operate your vehicles. The system is very simple: a unique key fob is assigned to every driver and an ID reader is mounted on the dashboard of your fleet vehicles. Upon ignition, a buzzing sound emits until the authorised driver holds his special key fob to the reader. In this way, only those who are in possession of the key fob, and therefore authorised to use the vehicle, can actually drive it:

 

 

But it doesn’t just begin and end there: the telematics driver ID can actually increase the productivity of your fleet. If you’re wonder exactly how, check out some of the ways in which driver ID benefits fleet productivity.

 

 

1.  Improved eco driving training

If the telematics driver ID feature detects that one of your employees is not practising eco-driving (something which also encompasses safety), it will help you concentrate your training efforts and increase productivity from the point of view of getting more miles out of less fuel spent and avoiding downtime due to a safer style of driving.

 

 

2. Detection of inefficient routes

Inefficient routes not only consume more fuel, but also affect productivity: drivers could potentially follow more efficient ones and fit in more assignments in a working day. With driver ID you can establish the most efficient routes and stick to them.

 

 

3. Increased responsibility

Having to go through the identification process will give your drivers more responsibility, by doing so they will spontaneously be more productive.

 

 

4.  Correct working hours log

Logging hours is a requirement; however, drivers or administration can easily make manual errors when it comes to filling out the timesheet for the start and end of day. Thanks to driver ID feature, this will no longer be a problem.
