About Vehicle Management Systems

Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) help improve safety and security by restricting industrial vehicle access to trained, authorized operators, providing electronic safety inspection checklists, and sensing vehicle impacts. A wireless VMS helps reduce fleet maintenance costs by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting vehicle problems electronically, scheduling maintenance according to actual vehicle usage rather than by calendar or manual data entry, and helping determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment.  In addition, a wireless VMS helps improve supply chain productivity by establishing accountability for the use of equipment, ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time, streamlining material handling work flow, and providing unique metrics on equipment utilization.
