Traditional waste collection has always had its issues with inefficiency and environmental impact; overflowing bins and missed pickups. Many ill-managed collections can frustrate residents and strain municipal budgets; the EPA also found that inefficient waste collection boosts greenhouse gas emissions, with transportation making up 29% of the total U.S. emissions in 2021. Fortunately, there’s a […]

The intersection of law and ethics forms a critical foundation for how businesses handle consumer data. Navigating this complex territory involves understanding various laws and regulations that govern digital tracking, while also grappling with ethical considerations and dilemmas.
Fleet management is the administrative approach used by organizations to manage and coordinate their vehicle fleet. This includes a wide range of functions, such as vehicle financing, maintenance, telematics (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management, fuel management, health and safety management, and vehicle tracking.
Fleet management has evolved significantly with technological advancements. Initially, it involved basic vehicle tracking and manual record-keeping. The introduction of GPS technology revolutionized tracking, providing real-time data on vehicle locations. The advent of the Internet and cloud computing further transformed fleet management, enabling more sophisticated data analysis and remote management capabilities. In recent years, technologies like IoT (Internet of Things) have begun integrating vehicles with a network of interconnected devices, enhancing data collection and operational efficiency.
