Even if we are totally into fleet management software, it is surely impossible not to have noticed that the launch of Pokémon GO has kicked off the biggest craze since the Rubik’s cube!
The location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic has just become the hottest potato and the latest viral phenomenon—making the value of Nintendo (which has a financial stake in the business known as “The Pokémon Company”) double its share vale.
We know fleet management can be challenging and—no joke—it can really make all the difference to how quickly your business grows. But if you play around with a fleet management software like SynX it becomes so easy that having control of your assets and fleet costs will seem like a breeze!
But what do fleet management systems such as SynX and games like Pokémon GO have in common?
1. GPS technology
Pokémon GO uses GPS data to generate a video or live direct view of the physical environment that is an essential element of augmented reality, SynX and fleet management systems are also based on GPS tracking technology which helps in getting vehicle location data and planning routes.
2. App
SynX is also an app like Pokémon GO, but with Synx you can either manage your fleet or have your staff doing walkaround checks. Or even—and here we find another similarity with the gaming concept—allowing you to set up ecodriving challenges which will help your staff to drive more safely while saving fuel. Drivers are ranked in the system: nobody wants to be at the bottom of the rankings and hopefully the concept will go viral among your team members (where it may even be more popular than Pokémon GO!).
3. Available 24/7
Yes, the addiction never stops and people can become game-dependent, which is apparently not great, but according to some this is not proven to be completely true. The Pokémon craze has caused clinical psychologists to state that there could even be potential improvements to mental health and depression. But what about SynX?
Well, there’s no doubt that SynX is available 24/7 from any device and browser—not just a smartphone. And this has a great impact on your business and a positive effect on the stressful life of fleet managers, who can secure a vehicle position at any given time: keeping fleets running smoothly, staff working safely and efficiently whilst also lowering bills… and the list just goes on! That’s quite an improvement!
