The online telematics service provider Cybit is partnering with Civica to facilitate the seamless integration of its Fleetstar application with the latters Tranman application.
Upon the integration, Fleetstar will feed real-time vehicle mileage, location and other information directly into the Tranman fleet management system thus helping businesses to better track and manage vehicles. This is expected to reduce operating costs, improve business administration processes and retain the residual value of vehicles.
By integrating Tranman and Fleetstar, businesses can capture mileage and other pertinent information without having to contact drivers or depending on fuel card data. As a result, routine maintenance can also be scheduled well. Employers will be able to manage their 'Burden Of Proof' in relation to private use of company vans and support HMRC audits.Fleetstar-Online is a scalable Internet-based telematics solution featuring real-time vehicle tracking, exception reporting, replay mode, customised reports, mileage information, SMS messaging and live traffic information.
