We all know how crucial it is to keep a close eye on every moving part while navigating the vast and complex world of logistics. Many companies are already leveraging telematic devices to track everything from the location of their fleet to the temperature inside their trailers and even monitor driver behavior. Platforms like PubNub have been game-changers for real-time messaging, keeping everyone connected from the driver's seat to the cloud.
The missing puzzle piece
While we're all about instant visibility and timely notifications, a piece of the puzzle is still amiss. I'm talking about the aggregation of real-time metrics.
Currently, most aggregation metrics happen after the fact, sometimes hours later. This lag means we're missing out on the chance to respond immediately to critical issues like trailer excursions, bad driver behavior, and other time-sensitive concerns.
What could be
Imagine if you could react instantly when a threshold you set was met—like the number of trailer excursions for a time period. You can immediately alert drivers and managers about trailer excursions and update availability statuses on the fly. Or, if you could identify frequent excursions from a particular hub, you could flag it for focused training to mitigate future risks. And let's not forget about bad driver behavior, which presents its own set of challenges, with the need for a flexible and dynamic approach to account for various factors and evolving rules.Knowing the cost implications of these errors could be a game-changer for your operation.
There’s also a flip side—when you see an issue, how can you tell if it’s critical? Is it happening to the majority of your fleet? To only a few? How can you immediately see that instead of checking things one at a time? Maybe you can set up alerts.
