There is no shortage of data, but the challenge for the fleet space is how that data often resides in silos. Ashok Sundararajan, our Global Head of Product here at Ridecell, expands on how real-time vehicle visibility alleviates common pain points for fleet managers.  "The data sits in different disparate systems and different suppliers that provide information communicate at different frequencies—and can convey the status of a vehicle using different definitions," Ashok said on a recent episode of the Mile Marker podcast. "This makes it challenging for a fleet manager to assess the status of Supplier A versus the status of Supplier B."  Ashok then explains how the Ridecell 360 solution creates a "unified view" to give fleet managers a full scope of what is happening.
