Equipment management's place in the larger fleet management picture

Equipment management’s place in the larger fleet management picture

Technology that connects you to your truck also connects you to those you work with, from safety managers to driver dispatch and even the back office. You’re all pulling in the same direction, and the right data integrations can make sure you’re all looking at the same digital page. All of those departments (if you’re a fleet large enough to have “departments,” otherwise you likely wear all the department-lead hats) need visibility into equipment operations.

To find out what role equipment management—from acquisition to the service process—plays and what it means to the fleet from the 10,000-ft. view, I connected with Jerry Robertson, chief technology officer at Bolt System. We talk fleet data integrations, the easiest efficiencies for a small fleet to reap and what functionality you should expect from a fleet management system. Watch the video above for all of the info.
