Fleet Tracking & Telematics procurement guide
Tracking hardware supports fleet visibility, driver monitoring and fuel management. Platform and connectivity arrangements are confirmed at inquiry. Vehicle sourcing should start with route, load, body or passenger duty and operating conditions before a make or model is selected.
Vehicle duty and body configuration
Applications include Fleet location and route monitoring, Fuel and driver behaviour management, Asset and trailer tracking and Insurance and compliance requirements. State payload or passenger requirement, terrain, distance, duty cycle, road conditions and body/equipment interfaces that affect the vehicle configuration.
Powertrain, payload and acceptance
Compare source options against Fleet size and vehicle types, Data and reporting requirements, Platform and integration requirements, Installation arrangements and Connectivity and subscription requirements. The quotation should identify the actual make/model, powertrain, axle or drive configuration, body scope, included safety equipment and documents needed for registration or buyer acceptance.
Shipping, parts and fleet support
Plan shipping method, dimensions and weight, destination import/registration documents, pre-delivery inspection, body or accessory completion, operator handover, service capability, initial filters/consumables and critical spare parts.
