When you are managing a fleet of business vehicles, it's important to be aware and courteous of the seasonal hazards. You drive carefully on icy roads in the winter, watch out for young foolish animals in the spring, avoid J-walking tourists in the summer. And when fall comes back around, it's time to keep an eye out for school buses and children around the local schools. 

Any commercial vehicle fleet functions with a few basic rules. You have to navigate a route on a regular basis, and you have to share the road with commuters and shoppers. The neighborhoods you drive in each have their own traffic rules and traffic patterns.

Keeping your fleet vehicles upgraded with the best technology is something that can easily fall behind considering technological evolution never stops. Nevertheless, when you have a consultant to turn to, you can maintain your fleet vehicles to the demands of today.

The field service industry has a lot of different specialties. From cable installation to HVAC repair to cleaning services, if you send out a fleet to homes and businesses, you understand the challenges every field service technician and specialist must face. 

Once upon a time, field services and business fleet drivers relied on road maps. You rely on people who know the city like the back of their hands or finding street names in tiny print on a real paper map. Sometimes there was a huge map of your region on the wall, sometimes drivers relied on their own collection of local atlases. 

Let's face it, the digital maps of today are amazing. Without being dramatic, it could easily be said that responsive mapping software is one of the greatest inventions for field services since the cargo net. 

Security risks are a major concern for businesses with fleets who are connected to the internet. This risk is only expected to grow as the car industry becomes more focused on incorporating technology into smart vehicles. 

Over the last two decades, vehicle technology has progressed in astounding leaps and bounds. We have gone from road map atlases to printed directions to live turn-by-turn mobile navigation devices. Divers can communicate with HQ hands-free, reprogram their routes with voice commands, and catch hit-and-run license plates automatically. 

The summer is the peak of tourist season in most regions and almost every city in the US sees a surge of vacationers when the weather gets warm and the kids are out of school. This is a great time for the city's economy as tourists fill your hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and museums bringing business and spreading vacation cash around. 

The methods behind fleet management are changing fast in the digital era, especially in finding technologies to bring more managerial convenience. More advanced software is playing a big part in better managing electrician, plumbing, or home service companies with fleet vehicles.
