In the week of October 17th – 21st our team had the chance to meet-up with our existing partners and discuss new partnerships all while exhibiting our state-of-the-art fleet management and asset tracking platform in the biggest tech show in the Middle East, North Africa & South Asia regions – GITEX Technology Week.

You may have heard about a multitude of reasons as to why telematics solutions can benefit your business. Anything from tracking your assets and vehicles, fuel usage and expenses to making your fleet more efficient over time. However, we find that there are still very practical yet often overlooked benefits to be gained. In this article, we’ll discuss how data collected using telematics can be useful to calculate your employee’s wage in a matter of minutes.

Freight transport by road has been the most commonly used way of transporting goods in Europe for years. The latest Eurostat data shows that road transport accounts for 76.5% of total inland freight transport. As demand increases and road infrastructure and the intensity of its use changes, fleet management solutions play an increasingly important role in the organisation of the supply chain, helping to plan the vehicle routes (especially trucks), and ensuring their efficiency. The usefulness of route planning solutions is also recognised by the international freight carrier RIX Ltd. (hereafter – RIX), which has managed to facilitate daily work for both fleet dispatchers and drivers with the help of this technology.

By using integrations you can expand the functionality of the systems you use and in many cases streamline your business processes while doing so. In simple terms, integrations can save you time because rather than inputting data into many systems, you can just do it once. 

On Wednesday July 28, Artūrs Toms Plešs, the Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development in Latvia, came to Mapon on a working visit to get to know the company and discuss using fleet management and other technologies to benefit the environment.

GITEX Technology Week is an annual electronics trade show, exhibition, and conference. It’s the largest technology event in the Gulf and North Africa regions attracting over 100 000 attendees from around the globe. 

At the beginning of this year, a local business owner approached Mapon for a consultation on digital tachograph rule compliance matters and how telematics solutions could help his business in the future. The situation was this – he at that moment was dealing with a court case threatening to revoke his license due to tachograph rule violations. While this is a common occurrence, it’s also easily avoidable. From reminders and basic tachograph data downloads to smart analysis tools that will do the thinking for you, introducing telematics solutions in your fleet might be the answer you’re looking for.  There are several regulations issued at the EU level and even additional ones on the national level that concern tachograph follow-up matters, the most widely-known being Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and now – the Mobility package. And while these laws, amendments and explanations are widely available, it’s almost impossible to follow-up with every detail, if you choose to do it yourself. In this article we’ll introduce you to Mapon solutions that can help manage your fleet’s tachograph data and make sure you always stay in line with EU rules and regulations.

The growth of the global online retail business has increased the workload for transportation and delivery services, pushing them to look for technology that would help to manage business more efficiently. Route planning and optimisation is one of the solutions that companies seek for and there’s a good reason for that – according to Logistics Bureau, organisations that focus on the supply chain and delivery process optimisation can deliver more while saving up to 15% of the operational costs.

Integrations allow you to view all the data about your fleet in one platform which makes managing your drivers and vehicles easier. That’s why we continuously work on creating new integrations between Mapon and the most popular digital logistics solutions and telematics devices.
