Food Manufacturing And Processing

Getting your cargo, whether it be food or beverages or both, to its destination in the most optimal condition is integral to providing good service to your customers and upholding your reputation in the industry. Our temperature control tracking tools ensures that the integrity of goods is maintained from when it’s loaded onto the delivery vehicle to when it’s delivered. As soon as the temperature within the storage area goes below or above a certain predefined limit, real-time alerts are sent out so that immediate action can be taken to fix the problem to avoid any spoiled or ruined goods. In addition to temperature control, our telematics technology monitors any reckless driving behaviors, such as hard cornering, harsh braking, or speeding, that may result in damage to goods or spillage while in transit. Smooth vehicle handling is key to delivering goods in the condition they are meant to be.

With route management tools, you can gather a variety of data points that will help you determine whether the routes being taken are as efficient as they can be as well as where improvement can be made for faster delivery. Software like MiX Journey Management can tell you how long it takes for a driver to reach a particular location, where traffic hotspots are, arrival and departure times from locations or sites, the amount of time it takes for a driver to load or unload cargo, which locations are most frequently visited and so forth. Not only can this help you plan routes more efficiently so that customers get their goods on time but also limit idling and fuel consumption.

When time is of the essence in offering a service, there is often the danger that drivers will speed or engage in aggressive driving simply to get to their next destination within a certain timeframe. With a telematics solution, you can improve the safety of your drivers while still getting the job done. This is achieved in two ways. Firstly, by tracking drivers who are speeding or engaging in harsh braking or acceleration, sending drivers real-time alerts when certain driving events occur and offering them training to drive more carefully to reduce risk. Secondly, you can improve your scheduling by monitoring and analysing routes and vehicle utilisation to see whether sufficient time is being given to drivers to do what they need to or whether certain drivers can be rerouted. With less pressure to complete a task, a driver is less likely to drive risky and less likely to get into an accident. Your drivers get home safe at the end of the day while your fleet still stays productive.

Increasingly, the application of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to interpret and synthesise precious customer insights from raw materials and mines of data will prove invaluable in achieving fleet sustainability outcomes that also power business objectives. Fleet management technology is evolving at a considerable rate and it's something that customers will benefit from, especially for their sustainability programmes.

It’s more cost-effective to retain customers than it is to acquire new ones. Therefore customer satisfaction should be top of mind. We offer fleet management solutions that help you deliver goods faster, more efficiently and in good condition. This is done through improved driver behavior, such as smoother cornering, so that cargo arrives at its destination intact, tracking drivers’ location in real-time so that the nearest person to a customer’s location is sent out to ensure speedy delivery and temperature control analytics to limit the risk of perishable goods getting spoiled in transit. We also give you access to accurate ETAs to give your customers peace of mind and limit any frustration that may arise from poor communication.
