1. Background of the need for fleet management/operation management systems

Demands on companies are becoming stricter every year, such as responding to the 2024 problem, complying with corporate compliance, reducing environmental impact through efficient operations, etc. In order to respond to such circumstances, data utilization is essential, and there is a demand for tools that can efficiently acquire, manage, analyze, and utilize complex and large amounts of information.

2. What is Telematics?

"Telematics" is a portmanteau of "telecommunications" and "informatics," and refers to systems and technologies that use communications technology to provide and collect various information (location information, vehicle information, driver status, etc.) primarily to vehicles and other moving objects.

By connecting a TCU (Telematics Control Unit) to a vehicle, various vehicle information can be collected in real time and sent to the manager, providing various benefits such as operational management, improved safety, and optimized operational efficiency.

3. What is everfleet Drive?
