Keeping track of your wagons shouldn’t be a guessing game. Yet, real-time tracking has always been a challenge without GPS sensors. With the “Manual Wagon Tracking Without GPS” feature of the TVMS, fleet managers can monitor wagon locations effortlessly without the need for costly tracking hardware.
Why this changes your fleet tracking
Managing a fleet efficiently means always knowing where your wagons are. Until now, tracking wagons without GPS required manual data entry, with no automated logic to determine their exact location. This often led to operational inefficiencies, resource misallocation and costly delays. This new feature changes the game by dynamically updating wagon locations according to transport status, giving you a clear and precise view of your fleet's movements, without GPS.
How it works: Better tracking, zero hassle
This innovative solution seamlessly updates wagon locations by leveraging transport status changes:
- Automatic updates: The location of wagons is adjusted in real time according to their status, ensuring an accurate and instantaneous view of the fleet.
- Tracking at every stage: Whether departing, arriving or not moving, you always have complete visibility.
- Total control: Managers can easily track the position of each wagon without complex manual updates.
- Simplified management: A clear view of the entire fleet enables better management of resources and optimization of operations.
Forget workarounds: here's a real transformation.
Until now, following wagons without GPS meant tedious data entry, poor visibility and uncertainty. Those days are gone. This feature transforms manual tracking into a performance lever: intelligent, automated and effortless. You gain precision and responsiveness, all without sensors or expensive equipment.
Why you’ll love this feature
- More efficiency: Track your wagons without GPS
- Cost savings: Reduce hardware and maintenance costs.
- Simplified operations: Automated updates minimize manual input, reducing errors and administrative workload.
- Flawless integration: Works across fleet management tools, ensuring smooth operations for logistics teams.
- Better billing opportunities: Accurately track and invoice wagons without GPS, improving revenue potential.
- Single source of truth: GPS data, manual tracking, and railway company information could all be integrated into a single unified system.
This feature brings real added value to those who manage wagons on a daily basis. Fleet managers can now track the location of their wagons in real time, without the need for GPS. No more guesswork! This solution improves supervision and facilitates team coordination. It also strengthens communication between different stakeholders, planners, operators, and field teams by providing them all with access to the same reliable data. This shared visibility reduces misunderstandings, accelerates decision-making, and allows teams to react more quickly to unexpected changes in operations.
In addition, it enables better anticipation of maintenance needs and availability planning, leading to fewer disruptions and a more proactive approach to fleet upkeep.
Logistics operators benefit from smarter wagon allocation, which optimizes routes, reduces waiting times and makes fleet management more efficient. For companies with large rail fleets, this means greater visibility and cost control, ensuring smoother management and more informed decisions. And for shippers without GPS on their fleet, it's the end of uncertainty: tracking becomes more precise and invoicing more reliable, considerably simplifying their logistics processes.
A new approach to fleet tracking
Tracking wagons without GPS is no longer a constraint. Thanks to this feature, you benefit from real-time visibility of your assets, without the need for costly equipment. By automating location updates based on transport status, this solution simplifies your management, optimizes resource allocation and reduces administrative errors.
Whether you're looking to improve your fleet's efficiency, better control your costs or make your invoicing more reliable, this feature provides you with a concrete, immediate response.
