The Chief Executive Officer of Sattrak Services Limited, Mr Abdul Bamgbopa, has advocated the use of telematics solutions to solve the operational challenges faced by fleet operators in Nigeria.
Telematics is the communication of information about the utilization and operations of vehicles in a fleet through remote technology.
According Bamgbopa, a combination of telematics device and an intelligent Fleet Management System (FMS) can deliver a fully automated, end to end solution for managing fleets to enable fleet operators make proactive plans and informed decisions that will save them significant cost while increasing profits.
Speaking during a one-day stakeholders forum in Lagos organised by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) entitled ‘Managing Fleet in a Difficult Socio-Economic Environment: The Role of Telematics Solutions’, Mr Bamgbopa, disclosed that fleet telematics will assist the operator with the necessary information about the utilization and operations of vehicles in a fleet through remote technology.
He said: “Virtually all fleet operators in Nigeria today are saddled with similar challenging socio-economic and operational realities amidst increasingly competitive business landscape, with the need to continually optimize revenues and reduce cost. Therefore, efficient management and utilization of vehicle fleet is of the utmost importance as it can have major impact on a company’s financial performance”.
