Performance and Price Drive Commercial Fleets to Onboard and Cloud-based Analytics

Fleet managers who need to monitor the status of their fleet as multiple vehicles move from one location to another are increasingly embracing a combination of onboard and cloud-based analytics.

Case in point is VyncsFleet, powered by Agnik’s award-winning patented connected car technology. Fleet telematics products usually offer a collection of services involving location management, driver behavior analysis, vehicle health monitoring, and fuel consumption reporting. Basic reporting of raw data offered by typical run of the mill Fleet telematics systems may not require a whole lot of analytics capabilities. However, the next generation of fleet telematics systems are coming equipped with advanced machine learning and statistical modeling algorithms for minimizing data communication cost by more than a factor of 100 while offering the power of data intensive predictive analytics.

VyncsFleet brings this new patented technology by blending onboard and in-cloud analytics to the world of fleet telematics; it cuts the cost big time while offering all the bells and whistles of a great fleet telematics product and a lot more. The VyncsFleet Fleet Manager Web Portal offers a web-based account that provides dash boards, vehicle tracking information, trip data, driver behavior data, vehicle maintenance reminders, recall notices, and other actionable information. You can also download the apps to view the information.

Making it particularly attractive to small and medium-sized fleets are a number of key factors:

1. Highly scalable architecture powered by Agnik’s proprietary edge and cloud-based analytics. There is virtually no limit on the number of vehicles that you can monitor using VyncsFleet.
2. It delivers automatic trip logging, with bread-crumb trail, and actionable statistics — once every 3 minutes GPS update by default, 60 seconds, 30 seconds, and 15 seconds upgrades are also available.    It automatically learns the orientation of the telematic device with respect to the car and also helps identify unsafe driving events such as harsh braking, sharp turns, speeding, rapid acceleration, or major events.
3. It delivers vehicle health diagnostic notifications and warnings. What’s particularly cool is its predictive analytics based on machine learning algorithms that can alert customers to many issues that may be just starting to show up. Naturally, scheduled vehicle maintenance reminders and custom vehicle maintenance tasks are part of the architecture
4. It’s built for convenience — with a web-based fleet management system and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
5. The system lets users check on fuel economy and find out the reason behind poor performance.  That in turn is part of a trip details report, along with scores for each trip. So, if your driver is bleeding you money, you will know it.
6. Finally, the price is extremely compelling, with no monthly fee and no contract.  The approach it calls “Device + Service” is available together for just $99.99/year with 1 year of data plan and software services included in the price. if you want to continue after the first year, you pay the same amount for the second year.
