MSV Telematics Can Help Your Fleet Increase Safety and Productivity

Connected vehicle technology has revolutionized fleet management, especially with advances in telematics software that optimizes efficiency by monitoring vehicle performance and driver behavior.

Mobile Specialty Vehicles understands that real-time fleet management can increase your team’s productivity and safety, which is why we have introduced MSV Telematics, the most comprehensive telematics solutions on the market.

MSV Telematics will not only help make your fleet more productive and safer, but the technology will help your fleet be more compliant, efficient, flexible, and profitable.

“As we emerge from a difficult period economically … fleets need to use the data provided by telematics to make educated decisions about how to save on costs and prevent unnecessary ones,” said global road safety expert Eugene Herbert.

Lance Holt at Heavy Duty Trucking Magazine noted in an August 2020 article that “It’s challenging to run a fleet at maximum efficiency and productivity when you do not continuously measure the performance of your vehicles and mobile workforce.”

MSV Telematics is based on plug and play devices that will take the stress out of fleet management and provide you with a complete real-time view of your fleet 24/7.

MSV Telematics Improves Driver Safety

They say “location, location, location” are the three most important things in real estate and in fleet management the three most important things could arguably be “safety, safety, safety.”

MSV Telematics software can set up rules to monitor unsafe driving behavior. You can easily configure the software to track any of the following:

  • Hard acceleration
  • Harsh cornering
  • Speeding events
  • Late Arrival
  • After-hours usage
  • Idling
  • Seatbelt usage
  • Unauthorized home stops

In-vehicle driver coaching in real time, including real-time spoken word alerts, can be part of your MSV Telematics package. Real-time, high resolution accident data reports are also available.

How important is safety to the bottom line of your company?

Holt uses some figures from Network of Employers for Traffic Safety to illustrate costs to your company:

  • A non-injury, bent-metal crash costs about $5,900.
  • An injury-related crash costs about $65,000.
  • A fatality-involved crash costs about $672,000.

Adding a SmartWitness Dash Camera as part of your MSV Telematics set-up can help prove your drivers were not at fault in incidents.

This is important since the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute found in a study that car drivers were at fault in 81 percent of commercial truck-related crashes.

Insurance costs for your fleet will also be lowered when you install telematics software.

Benefits of MSV Telematics for Your Fleet

The benefits of MSV Telematics for your fleet ranges from receiving live maintenance reports to in-cab messaging systems to relay information back to the driver and schedule service in real-time.
