The Second-Best Headline Highlighting UPS Fleet Telematics

UPS Fleet Telematics

“How Telematics has Completely Revolutionized the Management of Fleet Vehicles” would be an excellent headline for the entry you’re currently reading on the Allegheny Ford Isuzu blog. Unfortunately, that headline already belongs to a write-up appearing in the October issue of Entrepreneur magazine.

Similar to Budweiser’s recent CNG success story, Entrepreneur’s Michael Frank relates the positive impact that UPS fleet telematics have had on the global shipping giant’s operational management efforts. To develop some context around the challenges that UPS faces on a global scale, the organization currently manages more than 100,000 vehicles—ranging from the big rig pictured above to smaller trucks and cargo vans employed for residential deliveries.

As a whole, the UPS fleet logs approximately 3 billion miles on an annual basis. Though that number may be nothing more than an impressive stat for most of earth’s inhabitants, fleet managers understand each of those miles to be both a sizable challenge and intriguing opportunity. Coordinating the maintenance and location of every UPS vehicle is most certainly a trying assignment, but it’s also a test of logistical prowess the likes of which brought such resourceful folks into fleet management in the first place.

Focusing specifically on vehicle maintenance, UPS fleet telematics have proved to be one such tool of resourceful managers. According to Frank, the number of preventative maintenance inspections performed by UPS reached 240,000 as little as five years ago. Since the implementation of telematic technologies, the global enterprise has halved that to 120,000. And it’s all thanks to data.

Prior to the use of fleet telematics, UPS followed each of its vehicle’s preventative maintenance schedules to a tee. Generally speaking, this is a great course of action for most heavy-use fleets. Telematic data, however, is a game changer. Through the implementation of systems designed to intelligently analyze vehicle needs, driving patterns and more, there’s no doubt that telematics can completely revolutionize the management of fleet vehicles.
