“Every day is different, there’s no day that’s the same” this quote perfectly fits for the Fleet Manager as each day
there are different challenges, and prioritizing assets – vehicle and human is a tedious task.
What a “typical day” in the life of a Fleet Manager looks like?
The typical day of Fleet Manager starts with checking up mails, schedules, and reports. Then prioritize tasks and
communicate the issues or concerns faced with the internal departments.
Keep an eye on the Daily Operations especially the assets – vehicle and human, what are the factors affecting
productivity is it due to downtime due to urgent repairs or driver safety or due in fines payment… quite a lot to
monitor. Then comes tracking of important things like the performance of individual drivers, Avg. delivery time,
Avg. the delivery cost on a daily basis. Managing drivers – approving maintenance requests, approving leave,
allocation of replacement, shift allocations, and communicating with suppliers for fuel, spare parts. Create a
budget forecast for service and maintenance, planning for the next day.
Prep for the long haul in terms of policy change – calculating CO2 footprint, shifting from Diesel engine to fully
electrified fleet – altogether it’s not an ordinary job.

What changes are we seeing in Fleet Management?
The ELD mandate requires swapping paper logs and an earlier type of recorder called an Automatic On-Board
Recording Device (AOBRD) with automated ELD technology. These devices are intended to record data related
to the operation of the vehicle and driver activity. The driver information mainly concerns hours of service.
Advance telematics like AVIROS providing Root Cause Analysis Report, AZUGA providing Battery Health Check
reports, Ctrack providing High-Risk Area Management, Crystal Ball providing photographic evidence for audit trail
are some of the telematics providers providing unique services for Fleet Management.
There is another aspect of connecting with suppliers and partners to strengthen the ecosystem and have better
transparency, Preventive steps for Driver Protection guiding drivers based on the driving patterns, predictive
alerts of critical repairs, and hassle-free maintenance approval process.
