ConMet released the Digital Driver app, now available for download for iOS and Android, as part of its telematics portfolio of solutions.
The success of a fleet heavily depends on its drivers. By giving drivers access to real-time telematics data, fleets can empower them to react promptly to unusual component health issues, which ultimately leads to faster decision-making.
Consequently, this brings the strength of data to the road and contributes to the overall success of the fleet. The app is designed to help drivers and fleet service teams get the most out of telematics data.
Algorithms driven by data science provide valuable insights into the health of vehicles that can save both time and money.
By detecting potential problems early on, fleet service teams and drivers can take necessary action to prevent exponential costs that may arise if repair needs are ignored.
Additionally, users can access and interpret real-time updates with ease, eliminating concerns about misplaced papers or outdated spreadsheets.
Deciding the Best Actions to Take
The ConMet Digital Driver app also helps think through what the information means and what are the best actions to take.
As part of the ConMet Digital integrated system, the app works together with the online dashboard to create a fleet-wide experience.
Maintenance and service teams see warnings at the same time as the driver, which means they can work together to accomplish the same goal. Drivers can be proactive about alerts and communicate with the service team. Together, this creates an added level of security and confidence for a smooth trip every time.
The ConMet Digital Driver app provides a 360-degree experience through:
Easy asset selection.
Pre-trip inspection.
Real-time alerts during the trip.
Before the trip begins, the ConMet Digital Driver app pre-trip view provides highly accurate asset status across all installed sensors. This includes time-saving elements such as individual tire PSI.
As a result, drivers can act on any anomalies beforehand, saving time by avoiding unnecessary stops.
During the trip, the app’s on-the-road view provides real-time in-cab asset health alerts. The driver can focus on the road and the app alerts the driver when attention is needed.
