Teletrac Navman has announced a new integration with US fleet management software company, Fleetio. The integration provides mutual Fleetio and Teletrac Navman customers the ability to simplify fleet management processes, stay ahead of fleet maintenance and reduce operational costs through automated odometer updates and live vehicle tracking.

The partnership combines Teletrac Navman telematics data with Fleetio‘s capabilities to automatically sync odometer readings at regular intervals, keeping preventative maintenance workflows up to date. With data flowing from Teletrac Navman to Fleetio, users can see both a vehicle‘s current location and driving status together, giving them a comprehensive view of their mobile assets.

“This partnership enhances the already robust maintenance capabilities we have, providing managers more data points on crucial vehicle health in a streamlined dashboard that displays data they wouldn’t otherwise be able to access in one place,” said Marco Encinas, senior product manager, Teletrac Navman. “This helps managers spot potentially problematic trends over time before they result in a major breakdown, reducing downtime and costly repairs.”

Matt Chapman, product partnerships manager, Fleetio, said product integrations are an integral part of the company‘s strategy.

“We are excited to partner with Teletrac Navman to provide our mutual customers a deeper understanding of their fleet data. It‘s crucial to see key fleet metrics in one place to effectively manage the vehicle maintenance and repair process and understand total cost of ownership.”

Other features of the Teletrac Navman and Fleetio partnership include:

• Customisable reporting: fleet managers can customise how they receive and view data (e.g. measuring in engine hours vs. mileage)

• Reduce operational costs and save time with outsourced maintenance: Fleetio‘s extensive maintenance provider network connects customers to maintenance shops around the country, empowering drivers to find shops easily and get back on the road quickly. The comprehensive view of maintenance costs assists fleet managers in making informed strategic decisions and tracking total cost of ownership by vehicle.

• End-to-end work order tracking: Integration updates every stage of repairs at regular intervals so managers can realistically estimate time out of service, as well as parts and inventory tracking.

Fleetio is a company that builds simple, collaborative software that helps fleets of all sizes track, analyse and improve fleet operations.
