Main idea:

Technology advancements and government mandates continue to drive the adoption of mobile technology in transportation. Supply chain leaders in transportation should use this research to identify how mobile technology will benefit their organizations.

Key Findings:

--The transportation mobility technology space continues to grow at approximately 20% per year, fueled by aftermarket solutions as well as OEM offerings.

-- Offerings in the transportation mobility technology have evolved from satellite-based telematics solutions to terrestrial solutions, and from embedded hardware in the truck to more mobile apps that can be used on a wide range of hardware platforms.

--Transportation mobility technology vendors are focusing more on software solutions, becoming more global and growing via mergers and acquisitions.

Recommendations:

Supply chain leaders focused on technology and solutions for supply chain and operations:

--If supporting a smaller fleet, evaluate off-the-shelf and portable solutions that support specific business needs via an affordable subscription-based model.

--If supporting a larger fleet, explore whether newer,less-expensive offerings justify a switch from current transportation mobility technology, or extend its usage by using new functionality and integrating the solution into other execution and analytics solutions.

--Fleet operators should implement vehicle-tracking systems when the pain of empty loads, idle drivers and "lost" asset visibly affects customer satisfaction or operating efficiency.

--Transportation mobility technology can further enhanc edriver safety, as well as driver and vehicle performance, via real-time monitoring.

Market Recommendations:

The transportation mobility technology market is growing as:

--Shippers require more visibility to the status of their loads and look at the fleets to provide this.

--Governments around the world drive more regulation.

--Carriers require compliance as well as increased safety.

--OEMs increase their effort to deliver built-in solutions in their light and heavy commercial vehicle lineup.

These same reasons drive the fleets to adopt these solutions that are now easier to install, have more advanced capabilities and have a lower price tag, making the ROI more attractive even for small fleets.

Gartner advises fleet operators to research these solutions to ensure compliance to government mandates, to ensure productivity for the fleet and to obtain better visibility tools that enhance customer visibility and fleet maintenance.

The time is now to invest in these solutions, as the advantages that can be gained will drive your fleet's efficiencies and increase customer service.

Use these solutions in combination with your current routing solutions or other fleet management tools. As more data is collected through these mobile solutions, leverage analytics to offer better visibility for both the fleet operator and the shipper.
