Landscaping companies and transportation fleets often have more assets than they can keep track of. This results in theft, underutilization, and excessive purchasing. All of which are damaging to your company’s budget. Asset tracking uses geofencing technology to inform you when assets leave the digital perimeter you’ve set. Create alerts for unauthorized usage and receive real-time location updates. The geofence also gives you idle time and hours of service reports, so you can track productivity. As a fleet manager, you’ll also receive utilization reports to help you understand which assets aren’t getting enough use. This allows you to maximize the use of your assets and reduce unnecessary purchases.

Many companies that track their assets rely on barcodes or RFID codes and scanners— Azuga takes a different approach. Azuga offers two different asset trackers: rechargeable and long-life asset trackers. Long-life asset trackers are mostly used for large assets, such as storage containers, trailers, and generators. These trackers can last up to 5 years reporting the real-time location of assets every day. They also offer geofencing, so if you have materials in storage, a geofence would help you monitor the smaller equipment inside. Rechargeable asset trackers are great for road signs and other equipment that may sit for up to 6 months. But, it’s also ideal for generators or equipment involved in longer deployment. Both assets have motion sensors and a weather-proofed exterior.

Our advanced cloud-based software works in conjunction with our asset trackers to provide you greater visibility and protection. Additional features, such as dynamic maps, asset groupings, utilization reports, and geofencing add to the benefits your fleet receives. You’ll also enjoy simpler billing based on detailed deployment reports. Geofencing helps you deter unwanted use and theft of your assets. More importantly, it will tell you when your assets enter or exit a specific area, and how long they sit idling. You’ll be able to increase productivity and protect your assets so you can focus on growing your business.

Yes, our long-life asset trackers and rechargeable trackers make it possible to monitor the location of equipment in all sizes. Plus, geofencing alerts you to materials entering and leaving your set perimeter. This helps to monitor your smaller items like shovels and rakes—especially while in storage.

Since unused equipment can be left to collect dust instorage, many think it isn’t costing the business anything at all. This is a common and dangerous misconception. Equipment that sits still has maintenance needs. In fact, it may have more needs than equipment in continuous use. When a piece of equipment sits for a long period of time, then experiences use, it is more likely to fail. That equipment requires regular use and regular maintenance to stay in good working condition. If you’re maintaining the equipment, but not using it, it’s a drain on your business. In fact, most fleets only see a utilization rate of 5%. When a business doesn’t know what they have and where those assets are, they make unnecessary purchases. It’s a waste to own two machines for work that only requires one, so we recommend using Azuga fleet telematics to help save you money.

Route optimization is a science and utilizes algorithms to calculate the best route. It even take into accounts obstacles such as accidents, traffic, construction, and weather. GPS technology has greatly improved in the last decade. For fleets that travel the same routes again and again, route planning is simple. But for companies whose routes change every day or even throughout the day, route optimization is entirely necessary for maximum efficiency. It helps you tackle more in a day, improve customer experiences, reduce fuel costs, and much more.

Telematics aims to optimize businesses of all types. Many landscaping companies use telematics to see how their equipment operates on a property. Even mowing patterns become clearer with telematics data. Landscaping professionals also use telematics to create maintenance and inspection schedules, vehicle and asset tracking, route planning, and much more. Managers gain better visibility into where their equipment is, how it’s used, and for how long. The software’s algorithms can even tell you which equipment you need for the job. Telematics help to optimize your fleet in every way, so see what Azuga can do for you today.

Telematics systems monitor vehicle diagnostics for issues so you can fix them before they become major repairs. Maintenance alerts warn you of these issues and send notifications to your service department to schedule an appointment for that asset. With Azuga, you’ll keep up to date on fleet maintenance, reduce downtime, and avoid unnecessary repairs.

Companies with a lot of assets face the challenge of keeping track of all that equipment. They often rely on the employees using them to inform managers of mechanical issues. This often leads to breakdowns, accidents, and other major repairs. The best way to reduce costs, stay compliant, and increase efficiency is with preventative maintenance. Maintenance scheduling helps to ensure that all of your assets are getting the regular upkeep they need.

Electronically logging maintenance helps you to spot trends in maintenance, misuse, overall wear and tear, and more. With this information, you can reduce these instances of unwanted repairs to lower costs. With maintenance tracking, you’ll also be able to easily identify assets that you’re repairing too frequently. In other words, you can keep your fleet running smoothly and your business growing.

Electricians are just entering the telematics space. Trucking companies are familiar with the technology, but electricians are still understanding how their company can benefit from it. As more electric companies work with telematics, they see an overall optimization of their business. For maintenance management, they see the greatest benefits in vehicle health monitoring and downtime planning. With maintenance scheduling, you’re able to schedule repairs on off-hours or between service calls. With diagnostics monitoring, teams can focus on preventative maintenance and repairing small issues before they become big. Azuga Fleet helps your business become more efficient so you can keep servicing your customers.
