Advanced Remote Connectivity solution tackles fleet downtime
A new Advanced Remote Connectivity service from Targa Telematics will help Grosvenor Leasing manage service, maintenance and repairs to reduce vehicle downtime and fleet costs.
Grosvenor’s ARC, a real-time telematic solution, provides comprehensive data coverage across all fleet vehicles, with data feeding directly into its OSCAR fleet management system.
This provides Grosvenor and its fleet customers with in-depth visibility into vehicle health, service schedules and driving behaviours. It also provides a service schedule and information about any vehicle warning lights to support continued vehicle upkeep.
This enables fleet vehicle repairs to be proactively managed.
Further benefits include accurate mileage tracking and the identification of high-risk drivers for driver training, improving safety and reducing collisions.
