Orange Business Services has announced a new tool designed to assist fleet managers. This ‘geo-location’ service enables the current position of vehicles to be seen by the manager in real time, along with the exact time at which vehicles arrived at their appointment destinations.

With the benefit of assisted navigation, it is also possible for fleet managers to increase the number of calls a vehicle can make in a day. Orange Business Services also points out the ability to react to emergency situations more quickly, and the fact that through route optimisation, both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced. The ability to see where vehicles are is also a way of protecting them against theft.
