Machine to Machine solutions can interface with almost any mechanical, electrical, or electronic system or machine. This makes the technology ideal for use in conjunction with satellite-based GPS (Global Positioning System) units and LBS (Location Based Services) to pinpoint real-time vehicle location, monitor freight, and keep drivers secure.

Scenario
A delivery company has high fuel consumption within its vehicle fleet and drivers taking too long to complete jobs.

Vodafone’s solution

In association with a Vodafone partner, the delivery company would implement the Fleet and Asset management solution. An in-vehicle device would use the latest satellite tracking technology to transmit the exact location of each of their drivers to enable the control room to route them according to latest traffic conditions and dispatch the nearest driver to the next job.

How would this benefit the delivery company?
Reducing travel time and fuel consumption means increased productivity, better service to customers and a reduction in environmental damage.
