Analysis of the Possibility to Implement the Transics System and GBOX Assist Systems in a Selected Company

Introduction

The decision to purchase a fleet management system (FMS) should be preceded by a series of analyses addressing the question of its profitability. The implementation of fleet management systems always represents a challenge involving great effort and risk both for the system provider and the transport company. Appropriate project management principles and rules can reduce that risk and increase the quality of implementation (FleetSMARTS, 2011). To implement an FMS system successfully, one must know the business processes of the company and the special features of FMS projects, and carefully evaluate the costs and benefits. One should also refer to the experience of transport companies which have already implemented FMS solutions and use them in everyday fleet management. The aim of this chapter is to present the implementation of an FMS in selected companies.
