Beyond AVL: A Guide To Selecting A More Effective Mobile Workforce Management Solution

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) is being used extensively in virtually any industry that employs a fleet of vehicles. The benefits of AVL technologies are clear: AVL is a tool fleet managers and office staff can use to access real-time location information for every vehicle under their care. It can also indicate the status of each vehicle as well.

The information provided by using AVL helps managers make more efficient use of their resources; it also enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of fleet operations. While these are all great benefits for any fleet-based operation, AVL is only one part of a complete mobile workforce management solution. A mobile workforce management solution addresses not only vehicle location and status information, but goes further to streamline work order management, improve field operator safety and reduce manual data entry, as well as operating costs.

AVL is a small piece of a more important technological framework that mobilizes and automates your workforce. This white paper will discuss what a comprehensive mobile workforce management solution includes, the benefits of a complete mobile workforce management solution and provide guidance on how to select the right solution for your business.
