Last-mile delivery tracking is an essential part of the logistics and delivery process for many businesses in the UK. Last-mile delivery is the final miles in a delivery service and is often the most complex step when it comes to e-commerce package tracking. By tracking the last-mile delivery process, businesses can provide customers with better visibility of delivery status, faster shipping times, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Fuel is one of the largest operating costs for HGVs, and so reducing fuel costs is a top priority for many fleet operators, HGV drivers and owner-operators. The good news is that it is possible to significantly reduce HGV fuel costs through the implementation of various strategies and the use of certain tools and account management systems. In this blog, we'll outline some of the best tactics to reducing your HGV fleet's fuel bill, from taking advantage of competitive pricing at different fuel stations to utilising fuel efficiency driving techniques and investing in more efficient fuel consumption.

As more cities introduce clean air zones (CAZ) to combat air pollution, navigating these areas has become integral to fleet management. Rather than viewing them as challenges, businesses have the opportunity to use CAZ to become more environmentally friendly and reduce their carbon footprint.

An HGV route planner is a software solution that helps track and route heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in real-time. Plugging into existing fleet management tools, route planners provide truck drivers, dispatchers and route planners with the functionality to create faster, more efficient and cost-effective routes for the delivery of goods.

There are many factors when it comes to choosing between diesel and petrol-powered vehicles, and it’s important to know the main differences between the two fuels before making a decision.

Tachograph cards, commonly referred to as 'driver cards' or 'tacho cards', are essential for commercial goods vehicles (HGVs) and passenger vehicles (buses and coaches) to operate legally on UK roads. They are issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and are required to be fitted into a vehicle’s tachograph unit. The tachograph card allows the fleet manager to monitor and manage the movements of both vehicles and drivers as they travel around.

Fleet monitoring is a powerful tool used by businesses to optimise fleet operations, ensure driver safety, and reduce fuel costs. Inseego provides a fleet tracking solution with a real-time vehicle tracking system, driver behaviour metrics, and powerful dashboards to help you manage your fleet of vehicles.

In this blog, discover how to calculate your CO2 emissions and find out how Inseego’s telematics technology can help fleet managers manage the process more efficiently.

Transport is one of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United Kingdom, exacerbating the effects of climate change. The government has set a goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 in a bid to slow down the effects of global warming and protect the environment.

In a very broad sense, telematics can be used to reference a range of systems, including the internet itself. However, these days, it is more commonly used to apply to vehicle telematics, where location information (GPS tracking) and diagnostics data are collected in real-time to manage a business fleet — cars, trucks, and other assets.

Times are tough at the moment as the cost-of-living crisis is affecting people all over the country. Alongside this, fuel prices have reached record highs over the last 12 months. The question everyone’s asking is: will fuel prices go back down?

Driving standards are often overlooked by businesses, despite the fact that they can have an impact on many of the factors that determine the success of your venture.

You already know that excessive idling is costing your business, particularly when gas prices are on the rise. You also know it’s adding to the wear and tear on your engines. But sometimes you don’t know the actual reasons your drivers are idling their vehicles so much. Let’s take a few minutes to talk about the reasons drivers idle, why it’s bad for your fleet (and it’s not just fuel consumption), and ways you can address the problem of too much idle time.

It might seem obvious that effective fleet maintenance management is a good long-term policy. It prevents unnecessary breakdowns, helps with improving productivity and meeting customer service targets, and reduces the chances of accidents caused by mechanical faults. But did you know using telematics to manage your fleet maintenance can help you both improve your maintenance scheduling and reduce overall costs?

Businesses with moving assets —lorries, cars, vans, construction machinery, and more — need a good system to keep track of where their assets are, and how they are being used. They need to make sure assets are being used efficiently, safely and securely. This becomes even more critical as businesses accumulate more assets, and grow their operations.

A geofence is a virtual boundary that works with your GPS fleet management software to detect when assets move in and out of designated zones, or a geographical location.

Fleet management systems offer a variety of benefits for companies across different industries, including improved efficiency, automated alerts and reminders, the ability to create custom reports, and improved driver safety.

Collision avoidance systems (CAS), are crash prevention safety systems fitted to new vehicles to help improve vehicle safety and reduce serious collisions and vehicle related fatalities. Find out more about what collision avoidance systems are, how they work, and how the technology can help fleet and transport managers improve fleet safety.

Inseego has been awarded a place on the Government’s new Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework for the provision of vehicle telematics solutions to public sector organisations within the UK.

We are often asked to explain the benefits of vehicle tracking and what it can do to help drive down costs. Years of experience have shown us that both fleet managers and business owners are often surprised by the efficiency savings they can make by employing a vehicle tracking solution.

The way your employees drive can have a much bigger impact on your business than either they or you might think.

Driving a large vehicle isn’t like your average office job, which is why health and safety take on a very different meaning for fleet managers. That’s the reality of dealing with a human being at the head of several tons of machinery!

Fleet managers face various challenges every day. What many don’t realise is that technology has now advanced to the point where many of challenges can be solved.
