Industry Issues
Whether investor-owned, public, or cooperative, utilities require a wide range of vehicles for multiple departments, covering hundreds of square miles of service area. Utility vehicles are work horses: some with moving parts, moving heavy loads or people, in an array of terrains and weather conditions. Maintaining best maintenance practices for vehicle utilization and ensuring vehicles that require regular inspection and cleaning are properly maintained is essential. Managing fueling and fuel sites are another challenge: there may be multiple fueling sites, vehicles may require mobile fueling and or fuel restrictions at vehicle or employee level.
Ward’s Solution
Fuel View, Ward’s total fleet and fueling management software and Fuel Control Terminals were introduced four decades ago and have been in continual evolution maintaining an up-to-date state of technology. The combination of telematics with Ward CANceivers, Fuel View, and FCTs create the most powerful, efficient, and flexible fueling and site management controls available, collecting actionable information to allow informed decisions to help control fueling costs and maintain the health of your fleet.
Ward fleet management solutions offer the benefit of controlled fueling systems for accuracy and accountability with every transaction. Monitor driver behavior, vehicle status, and location. From storage tank to fuel tank, any liquid which can be metered – gases, lubricants, and all vehicle fluids – can be managed and monitored. Secure fueling access provides absolute certainty every drop of fuel goes into the identified vehicle, and programmed frequency, quantity, fuel types, and automated transaction records allow drivers to gas and go. GPS and GUI (graphic user interface) allow you to not only know your heavy-duty vehicles (snow plows, sweepers, CATS, etc.) are but what they are doing by the position of their mechanics (example: plow up/down).
Add Real-time GPS
With the addition of a Geotab Go device and MyGeotab software, driver behavior monitoring, vehicle location tracking, and geo-fence controlled routes, and more make for an overall efficient, secure, and even more cost-efficient environment to help lower fuel consumption and safety-related costs.
