According to a new research report from analysts Berg Insight, the number of active fleet management systems deployed in commercial vehicle fleets in South Africa was 0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In light of the above, Intelligence Transfer Centre (ITC) is hosting the 1st Annual Fleet Management Conference on 4 and 5 May 2016, at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways, aimed at minimising risk and increasing the efficiency of vehicle fleets.

Captains of industry and key stakeholders will deliver recent case studies, highlighting the policies they have put in place to guarantee the smooth running of fleets, effective operations and product and service delivery.

The conference will include, among others, presentations from South African breweries, Fleet Africa, the Cross Border Road Transport Agency, Eagle Liner, MiX Telematics, Altech Netstar, MasterDrive and the Maruleng municipality. Christopher Hill from Grant Thornton (Canada) will conduct a best-practice workshop through a live video conference.

Key discussions
Key issues to be discussed include: optimising a budget to ensure the smooth running of a fleet life cycle; managing the safety and security of fleets at all times; fuel management and fuel security; vehicle tracking systems and real-time vehicle and driver monitoring; the advantages of telematics in tough economic times; and improving crash investigation methods to ensure accountability.
