It’s no secret that efficient fleet vehicles are a vital component of any successful plumbing or mechanical business. Field service vehicles not only increase new business through brand exposure while on the road; they serve the primary purpose of getting technicians and their equipment to and from job locations. Naturally, fleet managers want to optimize their vehicle operations and performance, increase safety and boost productivity. Telematics technology has long been a reliable tool for helping fleets achieve these goals.
