Key Restraints/Challenges to Market Expansion:

Concerns Regarding Driver Productivity and Safety 

The safety of its drivers is crucial for every fleet management company to run efficient fleet management operations. To safeguard the safety of the drivers, their rigs, and their cargo, fleet managers need to educate themselves on safe driving initiatives, rules, and analytics.

Because of the growing use of GPS and cell phones, there are more incidents that may have been avoided. Here, driver education is relevant since it is important to acquire the necessary knowledge on how to utilise technology safely and correctly. Such mishaps can be avoided, which helps manage unforeseen expenses like repairs, downtime, and responsibility. Additionally, the cost of insurance is strongly related to the safety record of a fleet. Therefore, fewer accidents result in lower insurance prices.

Maximizing productivity from the drives is a significant challenge for fleet management. Through services like GPS and speak-to-call technology, technology can help with this. The most effective way to use these technological services is via drivers. When used in conjunction with other technological tools, such as geofencing and automated cellular tracking, these services can contribute to time savings because drivers are less likely to engage in tactical phone conversations and can instead focus entirely on the road
