TomTom Telematics will power a new fleet management service in Spain for leasing company Northgate Flexible Renting to help its customers cut fleet running costs.

The new service, NorthgateData,  will use TomTom Telematics’  track and trace technology.

It means Northgate’s lease customers will now be able to locate their vehicles in real-time, assign the nearest vehicles for jobs, and access mileage and historic vehicle-usage reports. This will help them plan better routes and optimise drivers’ working time.

The service should enable firms to boost productivity, cut fuel and maintenance costs, and respond faster to customers by giving them quick access to vehicle data.
