TracKing Pro Telematics Helps Solve Key Challenges for Fleets
Staying Profitable and Understanding Cost Drivers
The transportation industry is very competitive, and companies are looking for ways to stay profitable without charging more per mile. TracKing Pro telematics offers an energy usage dashboard on select units that provides comprehensive insights into:
- fuel consumption
- electricity usage
- opportunities to enhance uptime
By identifying fuel-saving opportunities, companies can reduce energy costs and help enhance their profitability.
In addition, the advanced algorithm and predictive analytics capabilities make it possible to anticipate where failures may occur and provide the necessary alerts in advance. The predictive alert notifications and enhanced alarm details enable proactive issue response and resolution, helping fleet managers and owners avoid costly unplanned downtime. Alarm triage insights provide valuable information to internal fleet monitoring teams, helping them quickly comprehend and address alarms, ultimately increasing uptime.
Fleet managers need to also understand what drives costs and inefficiencies within their operations. Using information from billions of weekly data points from active Thermo King units in transport, the benchmark analytics dashboard provides metric-based insights from across the industry. Customers can compare their fleet's energy usage and operations with best-in-class fleets. This feature empowers Thermo King customers to identify areas for improvement and implement data-driven strategies.
Sustainable Operations
In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, TracKing Pro telematics enables customers to quantify their fleet’s CO2 emissions in metric tons for both diesel and electric standby operations. With this data, fleets can operate more sustainably and reduce their carbon footprint as they work toward meeting organizational ESG goals.
Additionally, TracKing Pro telematics summarizes quantitative data and provides reports that can be easily communicated to key stakeholders. The simple, intuitive interface enables users to gather the data they need to confidently tell their organization’s cost-savings and environmental responsibility stories.
