The Cost of Complacency – The Financial Impact of Managed Telematics
Fleet management has never been more complex. Advanced devices now generate smarter data, promising better decisions – but so often this flood of information snowballs into operational headaches. Challenges like non-reporting assets, rising costs, and time-draining manual processes only grow, creating roadblocks that prevent businesses from unlocking their fleet’s full potential and achieving optimal ROI. Managed Telematics Services from Fleet Intelligence™ blend advanced technology with expert support to cut through the noise. We tackle your fleet’s biggest challenges, simplify operations, reduce costs, and turn smarter data into actionable strategies—so your team can focus on driving your business forward.

Fleet Management’s Toughest Challenges
- The Rising Costs of Fleet Management: Managing fleets in-house can lead to high overhead costs for recruitment, training, and retaining specialized staff. 1.5 hours per asset are spent troubleshooting non-reporting devices. Non-reporting assets cost $1,100/month per asset in downtime and $6,600 annually in missed maintenance!
- Adapting to Evolving Needs: As fleet operations grow, manual processes and outdated systems can’t keep pace with increasing demands. Blind spots in maintenance for even 10% of non-reporting assets can result in nearly $1 million annually in unplanned costs for large fleets.
- Proactive Maintenance + Optimization: Missed maintenance schedules lead to costly repairs, downtime, and reduced asset lifespan. Missed preventive maintenance costs $5,000–$6,600 per asset annually and reduces asset life by up to 30%!
- Streamlining Operations: Manual processes, underutilized equipment, and idling waste time, fuel, and resources. Reducing idling can save up to 14% in annual fuel costs, while reallocating underutilized assets saves $5,000 per asset annually.
- Elevating Performance Metrics: Inefficient fleet management can lead to inconsistent performance and dissatisfied stakeholders. Efficient fleet management drives better outcomes for your customers.

Conclusion: Evolving Beyond Complacency
Data is evolving—there’s more of it, it’s more complex, and it holds incredible potential. But raw data alone isn’t enough. Without the right tools and strategy, it quickly becomes overwhelming, creating inefficiencies instead of driving results. Managed Telematics Services from Fleet Intelligence™ are designed to grow with this evolution. As data and complexity increase, your fleet management strategy needs adapt to keep pace. It’s time to move beyond outdated “good enough” methods, simplify operations, and unlock the full value of your data.
Data will only continue to grow in volume and complexity. Shouldn’t your fleet management strategy grow with it?
