MOBILE WORKS & FLEET SOLUTIONS
MAKE THE MOST OF MOBILE
Technological developments are already enabling the ways that businesses operate, monitor and control the use of
company cars and vans to evolve and improve at an unprecedented rate, explains Paul O’Dowd, Sales Manager at In-car-Cleverness.
Telematics can help support with often troubling logistics by monitoring the use of company cars and their location, and compile accurate records of business mileage. However, installing fleet telematics allows operators to reduce expenses, fraud and ultimately save money and time.
The technology has never been more relevant for the fleet industry, and some experts believe that the next decade of fleet management will be defined by how companies ensure the use of telematics and its insights are optimised.
Telematics companies are seeing the shift in the fleet landscape and preparing accordingly. These companies need to be ahead of the game to provide technology capable of meeting those business needs. Technology is revolutionising the automotive industry; providing threats and opportunities to traditional business paradigms in the sector. For fleets, these technological developments are already significantly altering the way their businesses function. Telematics in particular is moulding the way that employees – whether full-time drivers or company car owners – are behaving.
TELEMATICS & EFFICIENCY As everyday devices become
connected to the Internet of Things, so too will the vehicle, which will be able to communicate vehicle- to-vehicle and have vehicle-to- infrastructure connectivity.
In-car Cleverness is an innovative telematics solution from the AIS Group, offering an established and

robust service, which draws on over a decade of real-world application in keeping fleets running efficiently, economically and safely.
IcC is an innovative telematics system that uses OBDII and GPS location data to deliver sophisticated insights into driving behaviour and vehicle health. The added visibility supports fleet managers and drivers in managing fuel consumption, maintenance, risk and asset protection; ultimately saving fleets money.
“THE SYSTEM’S
READ-OUT FUNCTION DELIVERS MESSAGES INCLUDING EMAILS, TWEETS AND
FACEBOOK POSTS.”
From a fleet telematics perspective, there will be an influx of on-demand real-time actionable data from vehicle connectivity. This new connectivity will allow for a real-time automated data-enforced fleet policy, generating real-time digital driver scorecards.
To keep downtime and maintenance costs in check, In-car Cleverness gives the mechanic’s view on condition, with regular data-based alerts, with the added reassurances of a full, digital, accident reconstruction facility, 24/7 support and apps for iPhone and Android.
We are steadily seeing more advanced mobile technology being developed by manufacturers to help provide support to fleet drivers and accessible insights for operators. Integrated mobile technology not only provides
behavioural feedback for drivers to improve fuel efficiency, but can show live mechanical data from the engine and alert driver’s to prompt important maintenance checks.
The result is that IcC delivers devices that can optimise fuel consumption costs for fleets. The fully interchangeable In-car Cleverness device, paired with customisable software, generates digestible insights on tailored metrics from driver behaviour analysis, fuel consumption and mileage and everything in between.
Telematics is often about streamlining operations; allowing businesses to manage pre-and-post- trip inspections, provide up-to-the- minute vehicle maintenance reports, generate work orders, navigate from job to job safely, and manage billing/ finances on the go, via a mobile device that doesn’t require a single sheet of paper. It is this support for otherwise-lengthy processes as much as the inherent cost-efficiency, which has brought such success to the telematics industry.
IcC devices feature adaptable firmware, offering fleets a bespoke telematics solution with made- to-measure metrics and targeted insights to reduce risk and identify areas money is being lost. Fleets have reported large savings as a result of risk-reduction; recently Next Vehicle Rental noted insurance savings of over 18% after installing IcC devices.
