The biggest challenge was that the company was not utilizing technology properly. Data and driving behavior was being recorded manually which meant that the numbers took a long time to note down and be analyzed. Live data was also not available and decisions could only be made after all the required data has been received. This was holding the company back; they knew they could corner more of the market if they had the ability to be more mobile. They hired the Fleet Management Services of TPL Trakker and following three critical issues of the company were addressed:

• Monitor Driving Behavior, Promoting Conservative Driving Habits
  Aggressive driving (such as speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking) can lower fuel economy by 33% at highway speeds and by 5% on city streets. You can save fuel by holding drivers accountable to observe speed limits and avoid harsh stop-and-go driving.
• Plan More Efficient Routes & Make Sure There is No Route Deviation Without Cause
  The number of vehicle miles travelled is one area where companies typically have limited, if any, control. Other than monitoring and enforcing personal use policies, companies are not privy to day-to-day business purpose data or have the tools to measure the reasonableness and justification for such use. Still, unnecessary trips with little business justification occur and such events drive up vehicle operating costs.
• Perform Required Engine Maintenance
  Repairing a vehicle’s engine when it is noticeably out of tune can improve its fuel mileage by an average of 4%, depending on the issue repaired. For more serious maintenance problems that directly impact fuel consumption, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, the repair can improve a vehicle’s mileage by an astounding 40%.
