Why Switch to Fleet Management Software for Better Driver Behaviour Analysis

Are you a fleet manager looking for ways to  increase your fleet efficiency and reduce fleet expenditure? The best way to do that is by conducting adequate driver behavior analysis. After all, how well your vehicle performs depends on the driver, right? 

Analyzing driver behavior might not be possible manually. However, with the right fleet management software, you can supervise your drivers in more than one way! 

How Will Software Aid Driver Behaviour Analysis? 

If you choose software according to your business requirements, you will get ample features to help you track driver behavior. Here are a couple of features that might come in handy: 

• Status Reports: Software track vehicle running and power consumption status such as AC on/off status, driving, idling, or disconnection status. You can single out drivers that unnecessarily idle or use too much AC that leads to extra fuel consumption. 

• Speed Vs. Distance Report: Overspeeding is a major issue in terms of fuel consumption and this report will help you see what average speed each driver maintains.  

• Route Deviation Alert: Route deviation might become a serious threat to effective fleet management if the drivers start using your vehicles for personal use. Moreover, if the vehicle carries emergency or perishable consignments, the delays caused due to route deviation might lead to serious issues. 

• Fuel Consumption Report: Fuel pilferation is much more common than you would think. Therefore, fuel reports will help you keep tabs on drivers you might think are unethical. Moreover, these re[orts will also give you an idea of the mileage each driver is able to maintain. 

• Customised Driver Report: With effective data analytics, good fleet management software can generate customized driver reports regarding their performance in terms of braking, acceleration, route compliance, risk profile, ethical profile, etc.
