All,

Most of the comments are valid but in today's environment when companies have 100s to 1000s trucks, managing huge and scattered fleet is a big challenge. Human tendency is, I don't care, if it's not mine... and it is hard to change that mindset.

In addition to damage and safety checklist, utilization is not balanced and many companies have far more euipment than they need, and the reason is lack of data.

Battery management is another challenge and it has direct impact on battery life, equipment performance and productivity. And yes, you can quantify the benefits if you meaure and put data in perspective.

Companies who have taken advanatge of available data, have made improvements in their fleet management. As we tell all our customers, if you can't take ownership don't bother spending money, especially when you look at high cost products with higher ongoing costs. If you do, ACG (Access Control Group) can offer you scalable solution tailored for your needs so you don't pay for features you don't need.
