Transport and logistics

How can Balin help you?

The multitude of activities that this type of company carries out implies a vast complexity of management. The problems that afflict a trucking company are essentially aimed at the logistical control of the fleet, understood as that set of variables that regulate the transport of goods, and for which the company needs efficiency, dynamism, communication and containment of costs.

Let's try to answer some frequently asked questions:

1. Do you know where the traveling vehicles are?
2. Are you able to check the availability of vehicles and drivers?
3. Do you have a clear picture of driving hours?
4. Do the vehicles follow the best routes?
5. Are you afraid of a waste of resources, time and fuel?

To help you answer these questions, let's see some of the features of Balin.app that are particularly useful for fleets of heavy vehicles intended for the transport of goods for third parties or on their own.

Balin's GPS Tracker for trucks allows you to constantly track a vehicle's location using Google Maps®. You will never lose sight of your means and their load; so, in addition to ensuring safety, you can facilitate deliveries to customers and respond quickly to any complaints. Sometimes, it will be very useful for you to know not only the GPS position, but also the status of the vehicle, whether it is moving or parked. The Balin system, thanks to the control and analysis functions, is able to quickly and completely carry out any in-depth analysis regarding the vehicle's activity. The real need is to be able to control all the vehicles in the fleet in order to have a clear situation, in the shortest possible time. It is also essential to have a complete picture of all the routes that have been made by the trucks. The route history helps in particular to verify that the routes taken by drivers are the best to avoid wasting time and wasting fuel. If not, then the historical analysis of the journeys is certainly the right tool to allow a correct planning and optimization of logistic activities. A particular focus is required on fuel consumption. In fact, for a company that owns trucks or other heavy vehicles, fuel consumption is an important component of business costs: better to avoid waste! Thanks to the reporting and analysis tools present in Balin.app, you can easily check that the kilometers traveled by the vehicles correspond to how much fuel has been consumed. Any anomalies can be signs of forms of inefficiency, or worse, fuel theft. Precisely on security and theft prevention it is appropriate to make a final focus. In fact, Balin provides a complete series of alarms, both relating to the vehicle, such as the speed alarm and the alarm for movement at prohibited times, and relating to areas and places where the vehicle has passed. In this case we speak of an alarm on the P.O.I, i.e. the areas selected as points of interest, and it is possible to receive an alarm notification when the vehicle enters or leaves this predetermined space. Warehouses are usually marked as P.O.I.
