Telematics

GPS vehicle tracking for Australian fleets

Your vehicles produce a huge amount of valuable data every day. The key to successfully managing your fleet and running a highly productive, cost-efficient, safe and well maintained fleet lies in using that data for better visibility of your drivers and vehicles.

Why it helps

What Telematics changes

EROAD’s award-winning telematics solution, developed in consultation with our customers, provides the right tools, big data and insights to enhance the performance of your fleet. At the same time it helps create a safety-first culture and drives further efficiencies across your business, all on one platform.

Turn vehicle data into decisions

Telematics captures key data and combines it to provide powerful insights about your fleet, equipping your business with the right tools and confidence to make better, more informed, data-based fleet management decisions.

Telematics improves your fleet's productivity and efficiency

A productive fleet is a high-performing fleet, and that can only be achieved with great data. EROAD helps by verifying activity and routes, monitoring stops made and time at customer sites, improving dispatch with more accurate ETAs, monitoring fuel usage to identify waste from excess idling, geofencing specific sites for visibility of arrival times and time spent on site, and tracking your assets to prevent theft or unauthorised use.

EROAD enhances driver performance

Your drivers hold a significant amount of responsibility for the safe and optimal operation of your vehicles. EROAD's Leaderboard lets you benchmark your drivers against the wider EROAD community of 100,000+ vehicles, while the Ehubo2 supports drivers with live in-cab notifications on speeding, seatbelt use, harsh braking, cornering and sharp acceleration, plus two-way messaging so you can stay in touch on the road.

Capabilities

What it actually does

EROAD nurtures a solid safety culture and Chain of Responsibility compliance

The safe operation of your vehicles is a direct reflection of a well-managed, productive fleet. Not only is it the right thing to do, it is also a requirement under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and the revised Chain of Responsibility safety legislation. EROAD helps ensure you comply with the four key Chain of Responsibility pillars: speed, vehicle standards, fatigue and mass.

  • EROAD Share lets you share vehicle activity and driver behaviour reports with sub-contractors and other businesses up and down your supply chain, so you can better meet your Chain of Responsibility obligations.
  • EROAD Inspect gives your drivers the ability to proactively track vehicle defects, carrying out pre and post-trip inspections using EROAD’s app or the in-vehicle Ehubo2 device.
  • EROAD helps manage driver fatigue by monitoring the distance and time a vehicle has been running.
  • EROAD’s Depot portal gives schedulers a single view of current and scheduled jobs combined with full vehicle details, through our Partner Gateway and integration with key job management platforms like ICOS live and MyTrucking.

EROAD ensures proactive service and maintenance scheduling

With fleet-based businesses, maintenance costs can hit hard, especially when they are unexpected. Vehicle defects can also cause costly delays or vehicle down-time. EROAD's Service and Inspect features give you the ability to track and stay on top of vehicle issues easily to pre-empt problems, so they can be rectified quickly before they become expensive issues. Better maintenance can also assist in reducing idle times as well as improve fuel efficiency. EROAD's re-torque alerts use distance travelled from the highly accurate in-cab Ehubo2 to ensure your drivers know exactly when wheel nuts should be re-checked for correct torque after a tyre change.

EROAD enhances customer service and satisfaction levels

In today's digitally-charged, data-driven world, customer expectations of a fast, efficient and transparent service are now expected from all companies. EROAD's GPS tracking provides visibility of your fleet, and that of your contractors, so you can schedule jobs effectively based on the location of each vehicle. It gathers vital data on when vehicles left, arrived at specific sites, how long they spent on site and how far they travelled, and you can keep clients informed of estimated arrival times, building trust and customer satisfaction along the way.

EROAD can improve your Fuel Tax Credit rebates (FTC)

Claiming fuel tax credits (FTC) is routine for most Australian businesses operating fleets and off-road equipment, but many are missing out when it comes to maximising their FTC rebates. EROAD's FTC Solution, which is compliant with the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) requirements, can optimise your FTC by automating and capturing real-time, accurate travel and fuel data so you can claim up to 2.5 times the standard on-road FTC rebate rate. EROAD can also help establish a six-month pattern of consistent use to recover under-claimed FTC retrospectively for up to four previous years, help claim back off-road FTC for light vehicles, and create geofences for work sites near or close to public roads to claim the maximum FTC entitlement.

EROAD minimises Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)

EROAD helps you ditch the paper logbooks and take advantage of the most efficient FBT calculation method for your fleet. EROAD's in-cab electronic FBT logbook, which is compliant with the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) requirements, collects real-time vehicle data and automates the entire logbook process to record time, data, mileage and the nature of the trip at the touch of a button. EROAD also allows you to maintain usage logs throughout the year to ensure the 12-week period of records selected for your FBT properly reflects the average usage of the vehicle.

What it looks like in practice

With EROAD Share across the fleet, we know we are good.

Freightlines runs owner drivers alongside its company fleet. With EROAD Share the team has the same level of visibility across the owner driver fleet as the company fleet, so they can manage compliance for the whole operation.
