Fleet operations are one of the most difficult areas for companies to control, especially when vehicles are spread across different job sites and regions. I've been digging into resources about how organizations can reduce costs and improve accountability, and I came across a comprehensive guide to fleet management (https://nektar.io/a-comprehensive-guide-to-fleet-management-solutions/) that referenced Nektar's platform. It seems to cover everything from vehicle tracking to maintenance schedules and driver safety, all in one place.
On the surface, these features make sense. If all the data about your fleet is collected in real time, managers should be able to spot inefficiencies quickly. But in practice, how easy is it to roll out such a system? Drivers and field staff aren't always eager to adopt new technology, so I imagine training is a big part of the challenge.
I'd like to know whether anyone here has implemented digital fleet management tools like this. Did they genuinely cut down on fuel costs, idle time, or accidents? Or did they just create extra reporting steps that people avoided whenever possible? For smaller fleets, is it worth the investment, or do the benefits only appear at scale?
