When you are in the manufacturing business time can be costly if it is not being used efficiently. A big part of manufacturing companies’ reputation and eligibility is being able to deliver their goods fast and on time which is why using fleet control software and fleet monitoring software can help to bring any companies up to date by optimizing the delivery service allowing them to compete with other top companies.

Fleet management software solutions include outsourcing the logistics to a third party. These third parties will be able to use the latest fleet control software to ensure that their drivers delivery your goods in a timely fashion. Best of all you won’t have to worry about purchasing or updating the software because this is all taken care of by the chosen company. As well as drivers knowing exactly where they are going at all times with pre planned routes the fleet monitoring software will allow you to inform customers a smaller time window for their delivery than was possible beforehand.

With fuel costs always rising outsourcing to a company that uses fleet management software solutions can lower your current costs and of course vehicle maintenance costs. Money saved on transport costs allows you to spend it elsewhere in the business helping you to grow faster. The 3P logistics companies always utilize their fleet of vehicles by using smaller vehicles for smaller loads and only deploying the larger vehicles when they have a full or near full load to transport. There’s no need to contact the driver to find out where they are as through fleet monitoring software they will know where each and every member of their fleet in just a few taps or clicks.

The 3P logistics companies will be able to make changes to routes and vehicles used during peak seasons for companies that create and need to transport seasonal goods. In addition to prior records they will have in depth predictions for certain road closures due to celebrations or necessary work and plan for this so that the customers are not met with disappointment should their goods not arrive in the standard timeline given. If a company doesn’t have fleet management software they will not know what is happening once the vehicles have left the depot, therefore have to take the word of the driver who in the past would not be able to relay the information until they return. The fleet monitoring software sends you real time reports allowing the deliveries to be optimized so that the fastest service can be offered to customers.

Fleet management software solutions can change the way that businesses transport goods and offer them a bigger fleet and options that they could otherwise afford. The data collected helps them to provide a premium service which in turn will help companies to offer smaller windows of time for delivery, a lower chance of the recipient not being available meaning a wasted journey and in turn a better image for companies.
