Vodafone Qatar unveils enhanced IoT fleet management solution

    • Updated features enable businesses to optimize customer services, increase operational efficiencies and reduce costs

    • The solution delivers faster response times through more efficient job allocation, reductions in fuel costs

    Vodafone Qatar Sunday unveiled its enhanced Internet of Things (IoT) Fleet Management solution, which enables businesses to maximize the efficiency of their fleet operations.

    The latest iteration of this solution delivers real-time information such as traffic data, vehicle location, fuel consumption, vehicle status and employee work-time, and is managed end-to-end by Vodafone Qatar.

    Two variations of the updated Fleet Management solution are now available. The Advanced solution gives enterprises access to a range of advanced features, which can be tailored to the individual requirements of both company admins and drivers.

    The Plug & Go solution is for businesses that do not require complex features and enables company admins to quickly implement the solution to streamline their customer services and operations.

    Both versions provide tracking, alerts and reporting and all data is accessible through a dedicated web portal, or a mobile application to allow for remote access. Furthermore, the Advanced version allows users to assign tasks, dispatch jobs, and plan routes for drivers.

    Overall, the solution delivers faster response times through more efficient job allocation, reductions in fuel costs due to shorter journeys, higher revenues as drivers will complete more jobs and better customer experience from faster lead times due to route optimization.

    IoT technology has also been proven to help companies that manage fleets to meet regulatory and corporate sustainability targets by reducing fuel use and carbon emissions.

    “Businesses should harness IoT solutions as a strategic asset to support their commercial decisions,” Mahday Saad Al Hebabi, Business Services Director, Vodafone Qatar, said. “Our aim is to make the selection and adoption of IoT solutions easier, more accessible, and affordable for all businesses”.

    Al Hebabi added that their next-generation Fleet Management solution, underpinned by their strongest ever GigaNet network, means that they can leverage new technologies and digitally transform their operations whilst building customer trust.

    The IoT is revolutionizing how businesses operate by optimizing costs, helping them to better connect with their customers and tackle market challenges head-on.
