#4 “When our vehicles are on the road, it’s difficult to keep track on their whereabouts. Their fuel consumption is also an issue, so I’d like to minimise overheads and optimise each vehicle.”
Perfect for logistic solution providers, Maxis Business mDrive gives you full visibility on your fleets’ real-time location. You’ll get to monitor both the vehicle usage and driver performance on one single dashboard. Some of its notable features include:
- You get real-time updates on your vehicles’ location and whether it’s currently parked or being driven.
- The trip history feature allows you to view details of completed trips including the distance, duration, and estimated fuel consumption. This way, you can optimise routes to reduce fuel wastage.
- You can also keep tabs on driving behaviour via its report on vehicle usage patterns, idling time (when the vehicle is turned on but not moving), and speed.
To add value to your investment, the mDrive device also comes with a lifetime warranty—ensuring high quality performance—and is protected by tamper-evident stickers.
