GEOTAB is a
North American company that develops fleet
business solutions using proprietary, patent
pending GPS vehicle systems and fleet
management software. GEOTAB is a Microsoft
Product Integration Partner whose
application is simple to use and to generate
meaningful information for management and
employees.
All fleets
have one thing in common – the need to know
how assets are used in the field. Through
the use of GEOTAB fleet systems, management
in fleet, risk and administration can make
knowledge-based decisions on what, if any,
action steps are required to improve
operations. Fleet operating budgets
must be managed within the framework of new
technology development. Implementing new
technology within a fleet must have
attainable payback goals.
GEOTAB
provides high resolution information on how
vehicles are used in the field. GEOTAB
foundation technology is passive – meaning
there are no monthly costs in cellular or
satellite time. All data is recorded inside
the GEOTAB Data Recorder and then is
transferred from the vehicle either using a
memory key or by using a wireless extraction
method.
The clear
advantage to fleets is that first GEOTAB
will identify the information needed to take
further actions steps at the lowest possible
cost per vehicle. If a real time solution is
needed for a portion of the fleet (not all
vehicles need to be found in the field at
any given time), then fleets can simply plug
in a real time cellular component to the
modular GEOTAB foundation vehicle kit.
In addition,
if the fleet requires a handheld device for
mapping or navigation, the device can be
plugged into 1 of 3 available ports on the
GEOTAB base unit. GEOTAB’s modular design
provides future scalability to adapt to new
emerging technologies.
GEOTAB is the
right choice for fleets that need clarity on
field operations from a variety of
management offices including risk
management, field management, fleet
maintenance, fuel tax rebates and customer
relations management.
GEOTAB
benefits fleets by driving down the cost of
business directly through reduced fuel
costs, reduced accident or legal claims and
indirectly through improved customer
retention, employee productivity and safety
record. GEOTAB benefits the environment by
giving fleet managers unprecedented
visibility of excess fuel consumption in the
field and can capture distance driven
off-road and within state to assist in
managing fuel tax rebates.
