Aberdeen released an interesting study yesterday on fleet operations and the rising costs of fuel and shipping charges.

According to their report (sponsored by TeleNav) 50% of the logistics professionals surveyed are focused – right now – on improving routing and scheduling of their fleets in order to offset rising operational costs.

Almost 100% of them said they will be reviewing and improving fleet operations in the next 12-24 months.

Those companies which Aberdeen entitles "Best-in-Class" (have implemented technology to improve their operations) have been able to reduce safety incidents by 5% and decrease overall freight spend by 1%, despite overall rising costs in the industry.

Route optimization, dispatching, scheduling and fleet tracking are all available through TeleNav Track on GPS-enabled cell phones. TeleNav is working with Aberdeen to help educate companies on how to implement this technology and save on costs. We’re hosting a Webinar with Aberdeen on this topic on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 10am PT. You can find more information and register here.

As a side note, we also announced yesterday another new device that supports TeleNav Track. It is the Intermec CN3 (pictured here). Click here to get more information on this announcement.
