For this reason, Mapon has developed the Vehicle Booking solution for our system. It is extremely easy to use, yet very beneficial for a business, beyond its seemingly basic purpose. So what are the benefits of Vehicle Booking?

GPS telematics platforms are evolving at such a pace that the amount of money they could save for your businesses is currently truly breathtaking. Some years ago it was enough to provide an option to see the vehicles on the map and their historical routes (and nothing more.) The customer was satisfied. Nowadays it’s standard to expect a complete fleet management solution which includes numerous reports, data from vehicle onboard computers (CAN), temperature monitoring, fuel control, maintenance planning and reminders, driver behaviour analysis and, most importantly, API integrations with their internal ERP systems so that data travels automatically from one system to another.

Vehicle Inspection: It Takes Minutes to Do, but Will Save Hours of Repairs!

To keep your vehicle running well and efficiently, you need to give it an overall check on a regular basis. On average it is advised to do a thorough check on your vehicle every 1000 km or so. Letting an issue go unchecked or unfound for too long can result in growing expenses for repairs or even put your driver and other members of the traffic at risk. For this reason, Mapon has created a tool that allows you to go through all the necessary tests for your vehicle in our mobile Mapon GO app – Vehicle Inspections.

New feature in Stops Report – a map view!

New feature in Stops Report – a map view!

This week we launched a new addition to one of Mapon reports – Stops report. Previously, You could find a summary about all Your fleet’s vehicle stops. You could select a specific data range and vehicles, and the information would be then displayed in a simple list view. This week we added a new section to the report. It’s called “Map View”. We haven’t removed the list view as it is very useful for many of our clients, however, we felt that the report could be brought to a new level by adding a visual map section showing all the stops in customizable data range. This can be used in many ways. Let’s look at some of the best use cases how some of our clients are already using this new map view.
