The future – and – of transport seems to be being written in digital terms, with technology providing answers to the challenges facing the supply chain today. In fact, the pandemic crisis has acted as an accelerator of digital transformation, helping businesses realize the benefits of leveraging new digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things, to address them.
The digital transformation of the transport industry has measurable and impressive results, according to BSE data: reduction of the operating costs of the vehicle fleet by 9% -17% due to reduction of fuel consumption, compression of the “dead” time of vehicles and drivers , but also a reduction of accidents and violations that exceeds 90%.
For transport companies – and not only – to be able to manage their entire fleet of vehicles through a single screen, having full remote control of what is happening in realtime, is more than a necessary condition of flexibility. Especially in the current situation, where the increasing equation adds fuel to the rising cost of fuel.
“Smart” vehicle fleet management solutions, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as IoT, enable remote control and direct communication with the vehicle fleet, which leads to increased productivity while reducing fuel consumption and operating costs . In addition, the “smart” management of the corporate fleet provides greater security, both for drivers and for vehicles, due to the faster response in case of emergencies.
A typical example of such solutions is the COSMOTE Fleet Tracker service, which is based on Internet of Things technology and is addressed to small and large companies of all sectors, which have vehicles of all types. The service is offered in collaboration with the international provider Fleet Complete, which specializes in connected vehicles.
These advantages are enjoyed by a number of companies in the Greek market, with the most recent example being BSK, one of the largest distribution, delivery, courier and transport companies. COSMOTE has installed telematics devices in 360 vehicles of the BSK corporate fleet, so that the company is informed at all times, via web or mobile app, about their exact location, the speed at which they move, their direction and route. Enabling interconnection with the Power BI business intelligence system it already uses, BSK analyzes data in real time and makes secure business decisions. In addition, the company has at its disposal a complete track history, as well as aggregated data and detailed reports on the condition of the vehicles and the driving behavior of its drivers.
With the COSMOTE Fleet Tracker service, BSK improves its efficiency and productivity and reduces the overall operating and transport costs, while enhancing the safety of its drivers and vehicles.
It should be noted that the COSMOTE Fleet Tracker service belongs to the innovative technology solutions offered by the OTE Group, in the framework of its strategy for sustainable development, and helps companies reduce their carbon footprint with up to 10% fuel savings. It is provided through three programs, Basic, Standard and Advanced, to meet the needs of every business, and with free roaming inside and outside the EU.
COSMOTE, in collaboration with Fleet Complete, has a special team of sales consultants, who can offer specialized solutions for the integration of the service in the information systems of each company.
