Geotab, a global leader in connected transportation solutions, has underlined the importance of video telematics as a key tool to meet last-mile challenges.
According to the company in the dynamic logistics and transportation sector, last mile deliveries are a critical stage that challenges companies to meet growing customer expectations.
With Mexico’s home delivery sector growing at an accelerated pace, up nearly 39 percent in the past two years, companies are facing new operational challenges in a congested urban environment.
Geotab says this technology, which combines advanced cameras with telematics systems to provide real-time monitoring of vehicle activity, significantly improves efficiency and safety in last-mile deliveries.
Geotab, key benefits of video telematics
In this sense, Geotab highlights significant benefits for fleet operations dedicated to the last mile, such as:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Video telematics allows fleet managers to monitor drivers’ progress in real time. This facilitates route adjustments to avoid congestion and optimize deliveries. Additionally, in the event of incidents or mechanical issues, immediate action can be taken to minimize operational impacts.
- Driver Safety: The technology provides constant visibility of the driver’s surroundings and behavior. The installed cameras record not only the road, but also the interior of the vehicle, helping to maintain safe driving practices and protect drivers from potential threats.
- Cost Optimization: By providing detailed data on vehicle and driver performance, video telematics can identify areas for improvement. This includes reducing fuel consumption, optimising routes and preventive maintenance, which reduces operating costs and improves sustainability.
- Meeting Customer Expectations: With the ability to provide real-time updates on the status of packages, video telematics helps meet customers’ high expectations for speed and transparency. This not only improves their satisfaction, but also ensures timely and smooth deliveries.
For Geotab, video telematics is transforming last-mile delivery management, offering a competitive advantage in an increasingly demanding market.
With its ability to improve operational efficiency, security and customer satisfaction, it is therefore considered essential for companies seeking to stay at the forefront of the logistics sector.
