Ideas regarding Fleetrun enhancement

Dear Phillype,

I have read your messages about fuel. Thank you for your vision how it can be implemented.
1) Do I understand you correctly that your main idea is to know a vehicle consumption.
2) Then, it would have been interesting to know dependency of a vehicle year of production and its fuel consumption, haven't it?

It's good to see this report of the operational produced by the American Transportation Research Institute at the pages:18,20,21 and 36.This report show the average cost of: Tires,maintenance and fuel of the fleet's.The percentage could be the total spending of the fleet's of the sales,or the individual cost of the trucks (the criteria should be defined by the fleet's).

So you could works with fleetrun well,due to there aren't largest alterations  of these expenditure in the fleet's.And the fleet's use the expenditure of the last year to project the expenditure of the next year.

Phillype,

I believe it is the main idea of inventory to register parts or other goods that are present for fleet maintenance, for example. The same way as remove them from inventory as soon as they are no longer available.

Thank you for idea about showing in the reports initial quantities, their increase and decrease and etc.

All the indicators that the fleet's need they can get in fleetrun due to the real kpi's it's based on their cost  ( the expenditure) with a relationship of the usage of the product in the operation.For example for truck tires it's Millimeters per Km,and for Mine Tires and   Agricultural tires it's the Engine hours of the machine per Millimeters.

Congratulations for the work that you and your team have done. My doubt's it's possible integrate the fuel cost in fleetrun and the Fuel control of Wialon per vehicle?

other point that's important to point it's for the fleet's put the information of fuel spending by the emission date, not by the payment date,this is a very common mistake.

The expenses without/with  Gurtam they are manuals.In the national market all ERP system of fuel control they have options for the user take the invoice automatically,or manual (https://gestran.com.br/gestao-de-frota-combustivel/),you could verify.

Why leasing expenses should integrate fleetrun? This is permanent assets (in a leasing operation generally there are three types of  accounting entries they are different( fixed assets, interest and depreciation) ,it's prudent the company see this procedures with your accounting department or your accountant).

What it's possible to do it's work with Centre Cost,more (at a business level) information you could find in this articles (https://www.fleetequipmentmag.com/bestp … t-centers/).

All exportation to a system from other system,it's necessary perform an audit,due to type errors,wrong expense launches.When we compare fleetrun to other competitors in the National market they does not have:A maintenance modolus,a modulus to entry general expenses (If you go to the option Gestão de frotas or fleet management in english you will see the option em breve or peeding in the maintenance modulus and in the expense modulus.

aahero do you have a solution for this problem:In this picture there is a  report with the volume of the sensor and the volume stocked.How explain this difference? In the report VOL.DARWIN=Vol of the Darwin (volume of the sensor),VOL.POSTO=volume stocked,DIFERENÇA=the difference  of volume  in numbers and   %DIFERENÇA= difference  of volume  in percentage   ,%R$ Litro= unit price of the fuel in liter.

A cost adjustment should be considered,besides that there are cases where the invoice it's eletronic and the gas station pump is integrated with the tax authority, wich it's very difficult see differences in volume.In this case could be digit error by caused  by the user of some filed of the  manual invoice.

The same problem could be present in the manual invoices of   fuel  in Gurtam.If the user digit a number wrong of the manual invoice  ( fuel price or  fuel volume), an audit it's necessary to compare the informations of the manual invoice with the information inserted in fleetrun (or other system).

For this case could be necessary to create a routine to recalculate the cost in fleetrun (all the insertion inserted in fleetrun),due to the insertion to correct the previous error  generally occur months later of the expenses be inserted in fleetrun.

It's important point some informations for you  understand better your market,in US and Abroad.

1-  The major product that you have  for truck's ,it's founded in the Smartway program in US (Ecodriving,Logistics,etc),some information you could find here:https://www.epa.gov/smartway/smartway-webinars-events (https://www.epa.gov/smartway/webinar-st … nvironment),in US they have the ELD mandate.

2-Your company and your partners participate from exposec,but don't know the Fenatran the major event's for truck's in latin america (https://www.fenatran.com.br/en-us.html).

3-In Brazil the law changed recently for IOT devices,it's interesting the Dealers and your manufacturers understand well the recently change in taxation,regulations: Here it's a video in youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmBrvsw7M1s,

4-The Dealer in national market have difficult to understand our tax regime to compose the price of the product.Depends on the regime the price of telematics device could vary,it's important they share this informations with their telematics supplier due to there are interesting companies in buy directly from the manufacturers.A neutral organization could be endeavor (https://endeavor.org.br/?gclid=EAIaIQob … gL18fD_BwE).

5-Personally I am studying open my company in Estony, due the less bureaucracy facilities that they offer.

6-To your partner's it's interesting know the platform Genexus,due to it's a low code platform.

7-About the agricultural market it's intersting know that  they use Barter operations to buy machines,input's,etc.

8-It's intersting to create   a platform to connect the client's to gurtam (i will send a example).

The case for truck's the impact in the fuel consumption there is
the caracteristic's of the vehicle,like the picture above for example with vehicle with cruise control and vehicle without cruise control,the other factors they are:Driving style,maintenance,input's like low rolling resistence tires they increase the efficiency (it's possible see that at the picture above RP1111B and in the payback's studies),there is logistics practicies (see the picture of NACFE
about operational practicies).

The solutions produced by the Gurtam partners like Tyreman (https://tyreman.ru/fueleconomy),https://tyreman.ru/blog/monitoring-na-base-wialon they are equivalent to some  the practicies in the US market,https://nacfe.org/technology/tire-pressure-monitoring-tractors/.The same case for Mechatronica in the technical discussion:"To know fuel consumption you just need more optimal solution - our fuel flowmeter. Or if you wish both to know weight in the bus and to control fuel at the same time and to see the shedules, how fuel comsumption depends on the weight, we can offer both-flowmeter together with axle load sensor",it's compatible with SAE J1321.
