By Tom Flies, XATA Corporation

Whether you're in charge of transportation, logistics, or operations, there's one thing that's certain: you must maximize every aspect of your fleet operations.

To help control these issues, many companies are leveraging technology to reduce fuel costs, maintain regulatory compliance, and provide superior customer service. They are largely able to do this by harnessing the power of onboard technology, which is driving significant cost savings by giving fleets around-the-clock, on-demand access to critical information used to monitor vehicle performance and improve driver performance. Fleet managers are realizing that fleet performance management software can pay for itself and quickly deliver unprecedented ROI.
