Project Telematics helps drive tech decisions
Specialist consultancy Project Telematics has highlighted the role it can play in helping operators to select the technology providers best suited to their fleets’ requirements.
“Delivering any project without experience can produce a severe impact on the Iron Triangle (aka the Project Triangle) – time, cost and quality – the three main deliverables for any project, being it telematics, electric vehicle implementation or other,” said Colin Moroz of Project Telematics.
“But what can make a massive impact to your chances of success is having the right person with right level of experience.
“A vehicle technology project is like no other – you are implementing hardware, software and training across multiple vehicle types, multiple depots, and locations with multiple disciplines. Take your driving team for example – do they want the new tech? Are you unionised? How will you sell the benefit? How will you train the hardware to them and roll it out? How will you make sure the hardware is working first time and the software is set up to work and enhance your operation rather than against it? How will your operations team work with the product?”
Colin emphasised the importance of selecting a partner with knowledge of the market and the various solutions available.
“At Project Telematics we have access to multiple technology providers in the fleet management sector,” he continued.
“We can help you source the right solution in electric vehicle transitioning, ePod, route optimisation, camera and AI solutions, yard management, vehicle and asset tracking, tachograph integration, vehicle safety checks and temperature control…
“We are constantly aligning new partners who are breaking ground with new technology,” said Colin, citing a recent meeting with a technology company that was pulling vehicle weights and dashboard warnings direct from their tracking unit into front-end software, enabling the proactive management of safety problems.
“It can be heavily time consuming to reach out to all the available technology providers in the market,” he added.
“Our consulting is always free, and we aim to find you at least four options for your fleet technology requirements. We also stay with you for the duration of the project – project-managing in the solution on your behalf.”
