3. Telematics service priorities, 2013
There is a disconnect between the functions telematics service providers believe
are the most valuable in 2013 and the technologies fleet managers need.
Suppliers today are focusing heavily on asset tracking and route management, where it
is possible to show operational efficiencies and increased revenues from smarter
working.
However, fleet managers are focusing heavily on driver behavior, driven in part by
legislation but also because here too there are savings and business opportunities.
