Companies with car fleets are always searching for ways to cut their fuel costs and GPS fleet management is the most efficient way to do that. GPS fleet tracking combined with fuel monitoring devices can help analyse driven routes and fuel consumption data in order to optimize transportation services. 5 million tons per year – decrease of CO2 emissions related to implementation of fleet management solutions Every successful entrepreneur knows how important it is to act in a socially conscious way.

User experience is what makes customers choose one product over another. At Mapon, we strive to make our platform as easy-to-use and understand as possible, and it can only be done by taking into account what our clients have to say. Recently, we’ve got feedback that there is plenty of useful information in our system that offers a very detailed look into the state of the company fleet, but it takes a lot of time just to click through all sections and find all that data. That allowed our team to come up with Dashboards – an entirely new section that will allow you to keep track of the most important information of your fleet.

When your business grows, your fleet grows along with it. Eventually, it becomes quite a challenge to manage it and ensure high fleet efficiency levels. The more vehicles you have, the harder it is to understand whether it’s enough, too much or too little. This is an issue many private companies and state organisations face today, so we, at Mapon, created a brand new fleet efficiency solution that will help you decide what changes your fleet needs to improve its overall performance. After all, would you want to analyse it all by yourself or rather trust a convenient system?
