Asset visibility

Visibility can be defined as “the ability to see or be seen”. You want to “see” your assets and your assets deserves to be “seen”. This is exactly what Fleetmonitor can provide you with – Asset Visibility.

When it comes to freight assets such as locomotives, wagons and containers, the visibility is often limited. This has a negative impact on asset utilization, service quality and of course, cost efficiency and profitability. But how can you improve a complex process without seeing and understanding its details? True optimization requires visibility and control.

A direct link to your assets gives you the possibility to do more intelligent business. Decisions having a direct impact on both you and your customers should be based on facts and not guesstimates, don’t you think? With our services for asset and fleet monitoring, you can make even more calculated business decisions. So let us connect you with your fleet.

We provide timely and accurate information on the location, movement, status and usage of each of your assets. But there is more to it than that: With innovative and powerful tools, we give you the ability to act upon that information to improve your overall performance.

The web-based Fleetmonitor portal is a state of the art solution that supports everything from daily operational monitoring and logistics activities to strategic analysis and business intelligence. By integrating your internal data with Fleetmonitor’s information and services, your asset and supply-chain visibility will reach new heights.

Fleetmonitor is the result of many years of experience and creative collaboration with our customers. Our continuously ongoing research and development is based on our customers’ needs, wishes and requirements – not technical trends or buzzwords.

BENEFITS

Control

Leave nothing to chance. Fleetmonitor gives you the facts about your assets and how they are used. The tools needed to monitor and analyze your assets both in real-time and historically are right there at your fingertips. Whether you want alarms in real-time if something deviates from plan or if you want to analyze trends and identify problems or weak points, with Fleetmonitor you are always in control.

UTILIZATION

Using Fleetmonitor gives our customers a combination of increased fleet capacity, reduced time to, from and at customers, workshops and own sites, reduced number of empty transports and a reduction of general transport costs – all due to improved utilization. Some of our customers reduce their fleet size, others use the increased capacity to transport more volume with the same fleet.

QUALITY

Fleetmonitor improves the quality of your transport information, both internally and externally. This enables you to improve the quality in many parts of your business, e.g. production planning, transport scheduling and dispatching, customer service and proactivity, overall delivery reliability and sometimes even the quality of the cargo itself. Our customers experience improved relations with both suppliers and customers.

SAFETY

If you are transporting hazardous cargo, you will be a lot more comfortable thanks to the visibility Fleetmonitor enables. By making sure you always know exactly where your assets are, where they have been and also how the cargo itself is doing, you eliminate a lot of the questions that arise on a daily basis. Fleetmonitor gives you increased visibility throughout the supply chain, increasing your safety.

BUSINESS INTEGRATION

We have extensive experience integrating Fleetmonitor with our customers’ own information systems. Integrating the systems gives you a very powerful environment to control your fleet. Information can flow both ways, letting you decide what interface is the best for the situation. Automation of processes and even better business intelligence are two examples of new opportunities.

SIMPLICITY

Fleetmonitor really has one goal – to provide you with the information you need, when you need it and in a way that is easy for you to work with it. Our goal is to make complex processes as easy as possible for you. We take responsibility for everything from mapping out your needs and deliver a complete solution to making sure it keeps on running, and improving, for years to come. A true managed service delivery is something beautiful.

WORK SMARTER

Instead of chasing information about your assets, Fleetmonitor enables your assets to tell you what you need to know. No matter if you are working with scheduling, maintenance, customer service, sales or business development, our tools makes it easier for you to do your work. Spend your valuable time on your core business and let Fleetmonitor provide the visibility and the tools you need to improve and develop.

OPTIMIZED MAINTENANCE

Fleetmonitor gives you tools to improve the maintenance process. By monitoring your assets’ workshop visits you can easily identify possible improvements. You always have exact track-length mileage of your rolling stock. You get an alert at different measure points of your choosing (mileage, geography, time since last maintenance etc.). Make sure you do your maintenance when it is needed, based on facts, not theory.
