Smart Fleet, Zero Spoilage!
Perishability plays the most significant role in the case of temperature-sensitive goods. Pharmaceuticals, perishable foods related to dairy, and bakery items require precise handling to ensure their integrity and compliance with regulations.
However, when it comes to transporting these cold chain goods and FMCG products, unfortunate events like temperature fluctuations, delayed deliveries, and vehicle breakdowns are unavoidable and affect the quality of the products directly.
Maintaining the optimal conditions manually throughout the journey becomes a complex task to execute. This highlights the need for a robust fleet management system in place.
FleetPro, a cold chain logistics management system, provides a set of exceptional features such as real-time temperature monitoring, route optimization, vehicle tracking, and much more to help businesses ensure product safety, prevent spoilage, and maintain regulatory compliance throughout the journey.
Challenges in Cold Chain & FMCG Logistics without a Cold Chain Fleet Management System
- Temperature Sensitivity: Cold chain goods like dairy, meat, and frozen foods, along with pharmaceuticals including vaccines, and temperature-sensitive drugs require strict temperature control to avoid spoilage and maintain their efficacy.
- Environmental Impact: Sudden climate fluctuations and unusual weather conditions contribute prominently to temperature deviation, affecting product integrity.
- Product Loss/Damage:Most of the consumable FMCG products and pharma medicines are delicate and, with inadequate or congested storage conditions, they may get damaged due to pressure, leading to wastage and financial losses.
- In-Transit Inefficiencies: Poor road conditions, unoptimized routes, and events like accidents lead to delays, increased fuel consumption, and missed deadlines.
- Regulatory Compliance: Neglecting proper transportation conditions can degrade cargo quality, leading to compliance failures and potential health risks for consumers.
Features of FleetPro—The Ultimate Cold Chain Fleet Management System
With the Route Optimisation feature of cold chain fleet management software, fleet managers can get real-time insights into the available routes and define the most efficient one based on delivery schedules and vehicle capacity.
Moreover, its live tracking capability with instant alerts prevents route deviations, delays, and unexpected stoppages, and ensures that the designated path is followed. Additionally, measuring daily driver progress and reviewing their routes are the supplementary capabilities that enhance customer service.
With real-time temperature monitoring, manufacturers can define and set temperature limits based on the cargo type and track temperature fluctuations minute by minute. Alongside, they get instant alerts in case of any deviations from the set range, receive location-based insights, and make decisions based on comprehensive reports (daily, weekly, and monthly) generated by FleetPro to stay updated.
Besides tracking fleet location and movement at all times, with the GPS-enabled real-time tracking feature, fleet managers can even monitor trip histories and analyse trips on parameters like expense, fuel consumption, time taken, etc. Moreover, managers can even review vehicle performance, identifying driving patterns and route inefficiencies, facilitating rerouting when necessary to improve overall logistics efficiency.
The advanced fuel monitoring feature tracks fuel levels, consumption patterns, fuel-filling events, detects anomalies, and provides data-driven insights in an interactive graphical format. Besides, it even sends instant alerts in case of fuel theft and inefficient driving habits, enabling businesses to take corrective actions promptly.
The driver behaviour tracking feature tracks & evaluates driving patterns on multiple parameters like speed, braking habits, stoppage time, acceleration intensity, etc. Alongside, it even generates insightful reports with vehicle usage data, trip efficiency details, and drivers’ performance analytics.
This helps fleet managers make responsible decisions like implementing training programs to enhance fleet safety and ensure secure delivery of goods.
The vehicle inspection feature of FleetPro allows fleet managers to attach customised digital vehicle inspection forms with the specific checklist for each fleet and receive inspection updates from the drivers.
Moreover, along with receiving instant alerts for upcoming/pending vehicle inspections, fleet managers can even modify the checklist anytime, set mandatory fields, and define pass/fail based on the vehicle condition.
With the smart service scheduling capability of this feature, maintenance is automatically planned based on mileage, engine hours, or set intervals, ensuring timely upkeep. Real-time vehicle diagnostics and automated alerts keep you informed about essential services like oil changes, tire rotations, and safety checks, preventing costly repairs.
Additionally, drivers can instantly request replacements for damaged parts, and managers can approve them quickly, reducing downtime and boosting efficiency.
The system also provides automated reminders for PUC and insurance renewals, helping managers stay compliant always.
