Technology within the fleet sector has undergone a remarkable transformation. The demands for quality have increased, propelling the industry into a rapid transition. While GPS data remains ubiquitous in our daily lives, it's important to acknowledge that the software used in fleet management has become outdated. The world has evolved, and so should our approach.
Ireland's Unique Fleet Market
The island of Ireland is a thriving hub of fleet activity, brimming with traditional fleet tracking providers competing for their slice of the market. We have a mix of local and international brands, each offering varying levels of expertise and systems.
In this data-driven era, business data holds greater significance than ever before. Having tools that cater to the diverse needs of different departments within an organisation is crucial for successful operations and efficiency. Procurement, finance, fleet, maintenance, operations, and planning all require accurate data tailored to their specific roles and performance. The question is, are they truly receiving what they need?
Having worked in both Northern and Southern Ireland for nearly two decades, Phil Barnes - Business Development Manager at Geotab has witnessed some changes in the market. While updates to portals and apps, such as incorporating driver behaviour analysis, reporting on fuel spend, and increasing dashcam usage, these advancements have become commonplace. We no longer desire mediocrity; we demand the next generation of fleet management solutions. What does this look like for Ireland? What is the next evolutionary step in supporting fleet business operations, driving efficiency, and maximising returns on investment?
