GreenRoad to put focus on field service fleet solutions at Service Management Expo 2016

Taking place at Excel, London, from 21-23 June, the event will see GreenRoad show the advantages of using GreenRoad Mobile to bring about a long-term, sustainable, positive change in driving behaviour across a fleet.

The app, which works on a smartphone or tablet, monitors and analyses vehicle movements then acts as a “coach in the cab” by alerting drivers in real time when they execute risky manoeuvres such as sharp cornering or harsh braking.

At the same time, it records and analyses data in order to present to fleet managers concise reports of safety incidents and driver behaviour that are easy to read and focused on the analytics required by the fleet managers.

David Rodriguez, senior vice president, GreenRoad, said: “GreenRoad Mobile offers on-going training for drivers every minute they are behind the wheel, ingraining good driving habits that bring about sustainable change in driver behaviour.

“Our mobile solution is ideally suited to field service engineers in particular because no hard-wiring of vehicles is required, only the use of a smartphone or table, which almost every field service engineer has on the road as standard.”

Other features include a hotspot tab that tells managers which locations have the most safety incidents; an idling tab that similarly shows where vehicles have been left idling, wasting fuel; and a tracking tab that tells fleet operators where all their vehicles are, and have been.

Two other functions allow managers to search, when a job comes in, for the nearest field service engineer who has the appropriate experience; and for drivers to search for nearby resource they may need to complete their assignment.
