Chevin: fleets going mobile
Chevin Fleet Solutions has found smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used to control fleets in order to improve the performance of key fleet metrics.
The company says mobile devices are used as they can track processes through GPS, imaging, time stamping and signature recording.
Ashley Sowerby, managing director at Chevin, said: "What mobile devices create is the means to independently record all kinds of fleet data that is useful for managerial purposes but also meeting legal requirements.
"This kind of auditable, high quality information could potentially help to reduce incidences of fleets being the victims of insurance fraud."
