MZone is a user-friendly scalable platform designed for fleet, transport and logistics companies. The application provides a comprehensive management tool that enables:

• Reduced operational and maintenance costs
• Increased fleet utilisation
• Enhanced driver and asset safety
• Competitive advantage in the market place through improved customer satisfaction

MZone, which has been deployed in a number of large fleets internationally, has proven to be a powerful tool in streamlining operational costs. Using commercially available geographic maps, fleet operators are able to access detailed information via the Internet – down to street names – in order to monitor geographically dispersed fleets. The Geofencing feature allows significantly optimised route planning and reduced delivery times.

All reports are easily customised to provide specific data, based on user requirements.

These include:

• Trip reports
• Utilisation reports
• Fuel consumption
• Driver reports
• Engineering reports

Trip Reports provide fleet managers with a comprehensive overview of real time vehicle positions and historic trips, accurate odometer readings, driver details and vehicle related events such as the number of stops and the time between trips.

Utilisation Reports provide accurate fleet or vehicle specific utilisation ratios, with detailed trend analysis. These reports allow fleet managers to quickly identify under-utilised vehicles and undertake informed corrective action to either increase utilisation or reduce fleet size.

Fuel Consumption Reports assist financial managers to reduce vehicles cost per km by monitoring fuel theft, vehicle abuse, actual fuel consumption, and fuel exceptions, and producing trend reports through detailed fuel cost analysis.

Driver Reports help fleet operators to improve the management of their drivers through a set of reports showing driver details, log books, licence renewals and driving performance.
Engineering Reports provide tools to assist fleet operators in analysing “in-vehicle network” data, thus encouraging preventative maintenance. A wide range of engineering data such as engine malfunction, fuel consumption, overheating, brake usage and air filter status can be monitored and reported, allowing fleet operators to conduct more effective operational analysis.

Geofencing Route Management (GRM) is a real-time fleet management application integrated into MZone in which fleet operators can define and configure (un)authorised use of vehicles based on geographic zones, routing, checkpoints, time and other pre-defined parameters. Once customer details and location on a map are entered, fleet operators are able to “drag and drop” customers into new routes, thereby making daily fleet planning easier and more efficient. Scope has designed GRM to integrate with 3rd party devices such as PDAs, which will assist drivers with road navigation and 2-way communication between operational centers and the vehicle. This not only reduces communication costs, but also improves delivery times and increases customer satisfaction.

Benefits:

• Increased fleet efficiency and productivity.
• Improved vehicle utilisation and reduced service and fuel costs.
• Proof-of-delivery and ETA improve customer satisfaction.
• Effective load-scheduling reduces fleet down time.
• Heightened security and safety for drivers and assets.
• Reduced communication costs.
