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.
