Using a GPS tracker requires hardware installed in the vehicle and software for data analysis. This software is essential as it helps you interpret data easily and efficiently. To meet your business needs, Cartrack has developed fleet management software based on the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. What are its advantages compared to conventional (on-premises) software?
1. Cost Savings
When using on-premises software, you must pay for software licensing and installation, as well as future version upgrades. Then there are the server costs for data storage—particularly if you operate a large fleet. Maintaining an internal server entails expenses for the hardware itself, power consumption, and the salaries of IT personnel to manage, maintain, and secure the data. You must also factor in administrative costs and asset depreciation. With SaaS, you can save on these costs by offloading them to the service provider.
2. Can be used immediately
Unlike on-premises software, SaaS does not require installation on your laptop or computer because it is web-based. That is why you can start using Fleet Web Cartrack immediately after the GPS tracker is installed on your vehicle. You only need a web browser and an internet connection to use this type of software on your laptop or computer.
3. Access Data from Anywhere
Since it does not require installation on electronic devices—unlike on-premises software—SaaS is incredibly convenient. You can access it via a web browser from anywhere in the world and at any time, provided there is an internet connection. You do not need to go to the office or use a specific computer connected to the office LAN to monitor and manage your fleet using Cartrack’s Fleet Web.
4. Instant Software Updates
If you use on-premises software, you have to handle updates yourself or even purchase the latest version after a few years. With SaaS, this is unnecessary because the service provider automatically updates the software. This ensures you always have access to the latest version without manual intervention, thereby reducing the workload on your IT staff. As a SaaS provider, Cartrack’s global IT team continuously updates Cartrack Fleet Web to enhance service and adapt to your evolving fleet management needs.
5. Support Fleet Escalation
Relying on on-premises software can also become a hassle if your fleet expands and you open branches in multiple locations. You would need to increase storage capacity and processing power for your machines and servers. With SaaS, however, you can add any number of new vehicles to your tracking system in minutes. The same applies in reverse—such as when you need to downsize your fleet due to urgent circumstances. You can focus more on your fleet assets and business strategy without having to worry about server management or computing power.
Given all the advantages of SaaS, you simply need to choose a reliable and trusted service provider to ensure data security and seamless access. You can entrust your fleet management services to advanced technology developed in-house by Cartrack’s team of IT professionals. We also utilise in-house servers that are regularly monitored and maintained, featuring continuously upgraded security systems.
