How GPS Devices can benefit the Utilities Industry
Safe and Sound
FleetLogix's reporting system allows you to keep an eye out on poor behaviours and address them before they become a bigger problem. Things such as sharp turning, harsh braking or speeding is detected and sent back to the head office, as well as alerting the driver so they can take immediate action.
Keep Track of Costs
Vehicle tracking ensures employees don’t use their vehicle for extra work or use their fuel cards on personal expenses. You’re able to cross-reference the vehicle’s location to fuel top-up times and time spent on-site.
Route Optimisation
After identifying the closest vehicle, either the dispatcher or the driver can quickly determine the most efficient route. You can also create route plans at the beginning of the day and assign them to each driver.

Road Infrastructure Management (RIM)
Road Infrastructure Management (RIM) is an application of the National Telematics Framework and provides a new way of collecting road use data from vehicles to better inform and optimise the management of road networks.
With type-approved telematics and the opportunities that the RIM program provides, you gain a new window of opportunities for growth and competitiveness in the market. RIM is an application designed to provide opportunities to improve efficiencies for operators. It is not used for tracking individual vehicles, data from heavy vehicles is collected and shared with Transport Certification Australia (TCA).
For low-risk activities within your transport business where you're looking for opportunities to expand, the RIM set of schemes available to you can definitely help you get that extra leg up. Road managers and planners may use RIM to better understand road and bridge infrastructure utilisation to inform road and network planning. Road managers or regulators will advise when enrolment into the RIM application is required.
