GROUND SERVICE
PROVIDERS

says, provide powerful insights into fleet
operations.
He adds, though, that the GSE organization also needs to invest time and effort
into analyzing the information and putting
it into context.
"Installing a telematics device into a
vehicle will not suddenly improve the vehicle's fuel economy by 20 percent," Loftus
explains. "The vehicle usage data needs to
be analyzed to identify where efficiencies
can be made."
In one example, Brown says an airline
had invested a significant amount of money
to purchase 66 batteries, and within six
months, 27 had failed. Only two were from
manufacture defects; the others were due to
over- or under-charging the battery.

and adds that a reason Inseego's solution
caught on quickly with KLM Royal Dutch
Airlines was because the company helps
identify the exact usage of the GSE in a
shared services environment down to the
second and by whom, which digitized and
automated billing to save time.
Ben Dhia agrees that while many ground
support providers are looking to telematics
to address challenges in their fleets, there is
an investment to be made up front.
"That's the biggest challenge we have
seen," he says. "We help them demonstrate that return on investment and show

they can reduce the amount of equipment
because data proves its usage is limited or
negligible."
With a variety of options on the table for
telematics, one thing all three professionals
agree is that the return on investment is
evident and imminent.
It may take time to completely adopt the
technology, but telematics systems are here
to stay, and ground support managers are
starting to see the benefits.
