The transportation industry remains ripe for technological disruption that improves efficiency and customer service as well as the driver experience. Ultimately, outfitting trucks for gathering telematics can help companies, drivers and managers be smarter and more efficient throughout the transportation workflow.
Certainly, some investment is required for hardware and software, and changing traditional ways of working can be challenging. However, like many other technology products, the return on investment will be brisk as prices for components such as sensors and connectivity continue to deliver a high level of value.
Any fleets that don’t take advantage of mobility and IoT will be isolated from vital data such as performance and maintenance, as well as the possibility of connecting with loads and shippers with lower overhead. If it’s not already, it will be practically impossible in the next few years to succeed in the trucking business without a robust fleet management solution.
