Fuel theft detection

By providing data on the amount of consumed fuel per mile (Mile Per Gallon), fuel tank levels, as well as pricing information on fuel, Trimble Fleet Mobility reduces and detects cases of fuel theft by drivers.

Fault code monitoring

Faults in vehicles in fleets are quickly displayed to enhance quick decision making on repair maintenance solutions and as a result save on time. The fault code monitoring system also uses analytics to notice trends in fleet health that warrant preventive action from fleet managers.
