Today’s transportation organizations are faced with increased pressures to comply with regulations, manage a shrinking driver pool and increased driver turnover and the needs to improve service levels while reducing costs.
Telematics solutions can save an organization thousands of dollars in tracking and resolving errors, processing overtime and even reducing FMCSA and DOT compliance fines.
Going paperless can provide a transportation organization with:
- Ability to update records whenever work occurs
- Allowing a driver to capture data automatically at the point of work, and updating systems in real-time
- Eliminating the need for redundant back-end office data entry
Linking your drivers with the enterprise and its data resources, minimizing manual processes is the key to enhancing productivity, accuracy, profitability and ultimately customer satisfaction.
There are many benefits to removing paper from your driver’s day-to-day lives, but the two big-ticket wins are:
Creating more efficiency:
Replacing paper-based procedures with automated systems can provide your drivers with productivity gains of up to 18%. And once data is stored it can automatically be shared amongst different applications without the need for clerical data entry.
Reducing errors:
Mistakes and inefficiencies negatively impact your bottom line in more ways than you can imagine. Studies have found a skilled typist makes one error for every 300 key strokes. Factor in a long working day and the increase in errors that would occur at the end of a shift (most common practice is for paperwork to be completed at the end of a driver’s day) and you get a sense for the cost such errors might have on your organization.
