It is a combination of powerful technologies like GPS, two-way wireless communication (via low Earth Orbit satellite technology), an on-board processing, communication unit, and hosted web application that shows the end user to mapping and vehicle telematics data. This system is helpful in detecting vehicles for customers and monitoring speed and direction of vehicles especially for organizations, which includes more transport functions such as courier services etc. Here Timmins providing you the various benefits of FMS system which will be great for transportation. Reduces Environment Pollution: - Now it has become important for all businesses to observe the carbon foot print. It produces its transport through operation and prepares a suitable plan to reduce and control it. More fuel consumption leads to more environmental pollution. Vehicles used in the fleet should be environmentally friendly. They are also known as greenery vehicles, which emit less carbon gases, save fuel, and produce fewer pollutants. Reduces Social Costs of Transportation: As the fuel is saved from the use of green vehicles in the fleet, the cost of purchasing fuel is also reduced.

Therefore, the delivery time is reduced to customers and efficiency increases. Good quality fleet management system provides information about the speed of the vehicle, which helps to limit the speed of a conductor when it exceeds the limit, because more fuel is consumed more speed. This helps in increasing the mileage, preventing wear and tear of vehicles in early stages, and increases the efficiency of the vehicles. Other benefits of FMS include enhanced customer service, increase in productivity, increased driver safety and resource conservation.
