The use of big data has seeped into many industries, changing the way we work. Big data enables IoT platforms to function, connecting devices to each other, revolutionizing machines. While the fleet management industry is not typically synonymous with the word innovation, big data has changed that. With the introduction of big data, fleet management is rapidly evolving. Platforms automate fleet management technologies, connected devices monitor vehicle and driver performance, and managers have remarkable insight into how the fleet is performing in real time. Not only are the cost savings high, but the safety and risk mitigation capabilities are making safer roads all around the world. The most prominent changes are in the ability to monitor driver safety and driver behavior, the better performing and more reliable vehicles, and the cost savings for companies that rid themselves of legacy systems and invest in big data platforms. Here’s a look at how big data is upgrading fleet management.
