What is fleet management in agriculture?

What does fleet management mean? Why has it become increasingly popular as a practice in recent years, and what is its purpose and applicability in agriculture? In today's article, we will answer these questions and give more information about software related to machine data management.

What is Fleet Management?

Fleet management is a system and set of processes for managing the information coming from the fleet. This covers both traditional fleets and those in agriculture. Proper management and control of this information, on the other hand, leads to an improvement in the efficiency of the farm, a reduction in costs and the full utilization of the potential of the machines.

What are the objectives of fleet management in agriculture?

The objectives for the proper management of data from agricultural machinery are several. By implementing machine data monitoring as a practice on the farm, it is achieved higher efficiency, productivity, cost reduction and easier process management.

Fleet data management software

For the professional management of agricultural machinery, more and more farms rely on GPS tracking systems. One of them is the system for monitoring and analysis of data from agricultural machinery FarmTrack.

FarmTrack is a web-based platform for monitoring, generating and analyzing information from machines in agricultural fleets. Through the system, data necessary for more precise control and management are obtained. The system has been operating on the Bulgarian market for more than 10 years, working in more than 350 farms and analyzing data from more than 6,000 machines.

What data on agricultural machinery is obtained by FarmTrack?

FarmTrack is a valuable assistant to Bulgarian farmers, providing information on:

• Position and track of machine;
• Fuel data - loaded and consumed;
• Instantaneous fuel consumption;
• Driver and trailer/inventory data;
• Kilometers traveled and acres processed;
• Service intervals and route reports.

We can track the data through a WEB-based version of Farmtrack or through the mobile application available for all operating systems. Thus, the system is a kind of electronic journal of the farm with information that is received in real time. FarmTrack also generates more detailed data on:

• Concrete Agricultural Machine
• The agricultural block in which it is located/ or to which it is closest to/
• The level and fuel consumption
• Processing speed
• The state of the engine
• Guider
• Inventory

With this and more data available through FarmTrack, the efficiency of machines and drivers is improved. Fleet monitoring is a function that can minimize the risks associated with vehicle investments, improve efficiency, productivity, and reduce overall transportation costs.
