As a fleet manager, you know that the amount of time your fleet vehicles spend on the road dictates your profitability. There’s a simple solution to maximizing your fleet’s productivity and your company’s bottom line lies in every vehicle’s dashboard: the OBDII port. The OBDII port is the internal system that monitors a vehicle’s systems and components. It has been standard on all vehicles since the 1990s.
When you use a GPS fleet solution that plugs directly into each fleet vehicle’s ODBII port, you have an easy-to-install device that helps you make smart, data-driven decisions about your fleet vehicles, so you know what’s happening under the hood and when to pull a vehicle off the road.
PassTime’s Fleet GPS is powered by the Geotab GO device, which installs quickly and easily into every fleet vehicle’s OBDII port. This powerful telematics device gives fleet managers unparalleled insight into a vehicle with reports on the engine, transmission, controllers, transmission, brakes and other systems in digestible and actionable reports.
With the GO device, fleet managers have access to the following fleet-maintenance data:
GO gives you fault descriptions that include the severity of the issue along with action recommendations so you can make the smart choice for your vehicle and your bottom line. This enhanced reporting helps your fleet make safety a priority. Not only will you reduce costs for fleet maintenance, by catching issues early on, but mayalso reduce costs for insurance, reducing the risks of crashes due to failed systems or components.
With PassTime’s Fleet GPS solution, you and your drivers have on-demand digital access to emissions reports and vehicle records to stay compliant. You can ensure your fleet vehicles function properly to meet or exceed environmental and other compliance regulations like automated tax filing.
Without a fleet-maintenance solution, fleet managers must track maintenance on a schedule. Even an automated schedule can leave you open to unexpected breakdowns. With Fleet GPS, you’ll get real-time insight into every vehicle and its systems and components.
Rather than react to a broken-down vehicle, you’ll be able to proactively plan by directing the driver to the nearest repair shop when it’s most convenient. Predictive maintenance puts you in control of when and how your fleet vehicles get serviced.
Predictive fleet maintenance also helps you improve fuel efficiency. When your fleet’s engines, fuel systems, transmissions, drivetrains and air conditioning systems run at peak performance, you get maximum fuel efficiency, which reduces fuel costs at scale for your entire fleet.
When you can more accurately diagnose and maintain your fleet vehicles, you can schedule repairs when it’s convenient for you and your drivers. You can also optimize each vehicle by deploying it when it’s best for that vehicle and on routes tailored to that vehicle’s condition. You might reserve certain vehicles that tend to overheat for cooler temps or use your newest vehicles on the most challenging routes with steep grades or rugged terrain. You’ll be better able to plan when it’s time to replace a vehicle, helping you curb unexpected capital expenditures.
When you choose PassTime as your fleet GPS provider of choice, you get access to exceptional customer service, 99%+ device reliability and incredible value. With PassTime’s Fleet GPS, you can improve driver productivity and stay compliant while increasing vehicle efficiency.
