What does Telematics mean in logistics?
Short answer
Systems that collect and transmit vehicle data, such as location, speed, ignition, fuel level, door status and temperature, from devices on the vehicle to a central platform.
Indian fleet telematics has moved beyond location to include fuel-theft detection, driver behaviour scoring and reefer temperature. Data quality depends on devices being installed properly and powered. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
