"By monitoring the vehicle status in real time, telematics allows us to anticipate maintenance needs effectively. Automatic alerts for mechanical issues help us prevent unplanned breakdowns, which not only reduces repair costs and downtime, but also enhances the safety of our drivers and users. 

Furthermore, the telematics data can be shared with key stakeholders, including our customers, fostering greater transparency and closer collaboration. This integration ensures that we prioritize user safety while optimizing the operation of our vehicle fleet."
