The Internet of Things gives fleet managers the ability to monitor exactly where every asset is, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Even more important, businesses can use IoT applications to measure how their vehicles are being used. These solutions combine real-time global asset tracking with a wide variety of innovative, value-add services to save thousands, even millions, of dollars in unnecessary maintenance, DOT fines, and insurance expenses.
