Overview
Operating a fleet of waste management vehicles is
getting more complicated. Fleet operating costs must be managed
more closely to stay within budget, especially as fuel prices and
other fees increase. Fortunately there is better technology available
now to help make fleet operations more efficient, and the fleet
management job easier.
The eFleet system combines the best available
fleet management technologies into an integrated system that provides
fleet-wide route optimization, individual route guidance in every
vehicle, the location of every customer and stop point on each
route, ad-hoc job changes any time, service verification with GPS
location, driver schedule adherence, and vehicle maintenance management.
With eFleet, adding all this functionality
to your operations is easy. It’s a hosted system so you don’t
need to own and operate any computer servers,
hire IT staff to do network installation,
upgrades, system maintenance, or any of the complex technical tasks
of client-server systems. All authorized eFleet users can access
the system from any web browser.
eFleet is easy on the budget as well. Because
it’s a hosted system, the up front investment is negligible.
Everything you need is included in a nominal monthly subscription
fee, so your capital budget isn’t impacted, and your operating
budget will show improvements right away
due to improved operational efficiencies.
Look at all the features below and then call
eFleet for a demonstration of how the eFleet system can optimize
your fleet operations.
