It all started with telemetry
“We have great power in our hands that we need to use.” This statement comes from Raphael Muller, fleet manager at Zoetis, a leading animal health company.
At the head of a fleet of around 600 vehicles, in 2018 he made the important decision to bring technology into his management.
Result? Since then, has achieved encouraging results and contributed to the transformation of traffic and society through fleet management.
To give you an idea, with the implementation of golfleet telemetry in Zoetis vehicles, it was possible to achieve a 28% reduction in fuel consumption and a 56% reduction in fines, considering a greater reduction in very serious ones. “The number of infractions per 1000 km driven went from an average of 120 to 90, with a reduction of 33%”, celebrates Muller.

These numbers became reality with consistent work to guide and involve drivers. “We showed them where the mistakes were and how we could improve. We do not work with punishment, but through dialogue, approach”, explains the manager, adding that all guidance is given lightly and that this helps everyone to get involved in a natural way.
“We also participate in sales meetings, talk about changes in our weekly internal newspaper, carry out actions in yellow may, we participate in events to talk about our management, among other measures”, he details.
All this work began to be carried out and structured from the moment management began to have access to relevant information and data about the fleet through Golfleet telemetry.
“Technology has come to change the landscape of fleet management. Once the manager is able to extract information from his fleet, it is possible to manage it”, he summarizes.
In Muller's view, only technology is capable of showing exactly where the problem is in your fleet, allowing actions to be well targeted.
Despite the advantages, the Zoetis fleet manager believes that many people are still tied to financial issues, which ends up preventing progress in management and the achievement of solid results.
“Many people see our numbers and ask: how much did that cost? But the focus shouldn't be on how much you spend, but on what you earn. For example, we haven’t had serious accidents since 2019, we haven’t had anyone on leave,” she explains.
Muller says that they always focused on what they could achieve with telemetry and not what they would have to invest, and that throughout the process, Golfleet has always been a strong partner. The financial result comes as a consequence.
“We have 600 drivers, imagine if each one takes home this safety culture that they learn here?”, he asks, who believes that the fact that everyone in the company has the same objective, right from senior management, is also a determining factor . “Things need to be real,” he emphasizes.

In this way, the ability to define tangible goals, based on real data, provides a more precise and targeted approach to planning future actions.
This not only boosts fleet productivity, but also contributes to reducing operating costs and maximizing available resources. When used effectively, telemetry provides more than valuable insights, it also translates into measurable improvements.
By integrating the information obtained in day-to-day fleet management, it is possible to ensure that the decisions made are supported by reliable data, resulting in a more productive, safe and economical operation.
Telemetry means more savings and security
Speaking of data, let's address some of the Golfleet Telemetry indicators that can reduce fuel consumption costs and fines in your operation, just like Zoetis.
Regarding fuel consumption, Golfleet has a module dedicated exclusively to Fuel Management and integrated into the telemetry system. In practice, this means that you can consult and manage all information about the supply of your operation:
- Accurate cost in reais per kilometer driven
- Average consumption per vehicle
- Average price per liter and type of fuel
- Possible fraud, suspicious supplies
- Vehicles below or above normal consumption average

As for reducing fines, Golfleet Telemetry offers a comprehensive view of drivers' driving behavior. Automatic alerts are generated to notify managers of dangerous driving practices or traffic violations.
In this sense, to avoid fines in the present and reduce occurrences in the future, Golfleet also provides a series of advanced indicators:
- Ranking based on driver behavior
- Data crossing of infractions, time, distance, speed and percentages
- Identification of those responsible for the highest number of infractions
- Number of violations per mileage driven
- View drivers who have maintained a clean record
For these and other reasons, Zoetis achieved a 28% reduction in fuel consumption and a 56% reduction in fines.
Therefore, we invite you to schedule a free demonstration of our system to learn more about these benefits that can add a lot to your fleet management.
