Geotab Africa has introduced a drilling productivity tool. This revolutionary technology is designed to monitor the productivity and depth of drilling equipment by detecting the maximum depth it has reached, instantaneous penetration rate and average penetration rate. Completely wireless, it gives a range of real-time data, no guesswork, no paperwork and no problems.

The system is built to eliminate human error and manual input logs. It ensures that your drilling equipment is operating in an efficient manner.

The Digital Evolution of Supply Chain, Fleet Management and Logistics

Digitization of supply chain and logistics is imperative in improving efficiencies, reducing costs and providing end-to-end visibility of operations. Businesses should have the ability to reflect on and react to what occurs in real-world supply chain, for example, tracking the condition or location of goods; analysing sensor or real-time traffic data to spot trends; and subsequently triggering appropriate changes.

The challenge most businesses face, is where to start.

How Geotab Helps Businesses Grow In The IoT Space

In a world which is constantly trying to advance and evolve itself, Internet of Things (IoT) is a term we commonly come across.

Lucidea explains that IoT involves extending Internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally dumb or non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. With the arrival of driverless vehicles, a branch of IoT, i.e. the Internet of Vehicle starts to gain more attention.

Debunking the Top 10 Vehicle Tracking Myths

Posted by geotabafrica in Driver and Fleet Safety, Expandability, Fleet Compliance Management, Fleet Optimization, Geotab Africa, Geotab Fleet Management Solutions, Geotab Hardware, Geotab Inc, Geotab Products, Geotab Software, Productivity

The reasons for any misconceptions around GPS tracking or telematics are mostly due to a misunderstanding of the product. Common GPS tracking myths range from how the devices “monitor” vehicles and drivers, to what the capabilities are, to the types of businesses where it’s needed.

These myths also range within an organization depending on the person’s role — a driver could have an exaggerated view of what gets tracked, an executive could have a misunderstanding on the costs, and a fleet manager could have a misplaced fear on how will it change their day to day.
