GPS-based fleet management systems have become a necessity for taxi companies. This technology is touted as a way to help you manage your business more efficiently. So, how exactly does this technology benefit your taxi business? Read on to find out. 

 

1. Tracking and Assignment Efficiency

With real-time GPS tracking, operators can quickly view nearby drivers and estimated travel times to customer locations. This makes it easier for you to promptly assign drivers to customer locations.

 

2. Improving Taxi Productivity

Fleet management systems like Cartrack provide a range of automated reports to help you identify inefficiencies in taxi usage. You can view the trip history of individual taxis and compare their mileage, total trip duration, and operating areas. Based on this information, you can reallocate underutilised taxis to areas with high demand.

 

3. Track Income

The Logbook feature in the mobile app makes it easy for drivers to record every paid trip and categorise it as a business trip. Using the Logbook report, you can determine the total business trip mileage for each taxi and convert it into Rupiah to calculate your earnings.

4. Driver and Passenger Safety Guaranteed

Driving behaviour monitoring (using vehicle-based systems or AI-powered cameras), Driver Score Reports, and Driver Safety Reports enable you to identify which drivers require safety training. Monitored parameters include speeding, sharp cornering, hard braking, harsh acceleration, fatigue, distracted driving, and failure to wear seatbelts. Consequently, you can reduce the risk of accidents, fines, and vehicle maintenance costs, while also enhancing passenger satisfaction.

 

5. Longer Service Life for Taxis

The fleet management platform allows you to easily manage preventive maintenance for each taxi based on date, mileage, and operational duration. Notifications can be configured to be sent a certain amount of time or distance prior to the scheduled maintenance.

In addition, there is the electronic driver vehicle inspection report (eDVIR) system. Drivers can report taxi issues or defects from any location using eDVIR, providing photographic evidence, descriptions, and location details. Reports are transmitted directly to the central system for immediate follow-up. With no excuse to overlook vehicle maintenance, taxis remain in prime condition and enjoy a longer service life.
