Motorcycles are widely used in fleets, making it necessary to develop strategies for protecting and controlling these vehicles. Therefore, the use of telemetry systems for motorcycles has been growing in recent years.
According to the Álvares Penteado School of Commerce Foundation (FECAP), a motorcycle is stolen or robbed every 16 minutes in the state of São Paulo . Furthermore, there has been a 26,91% increase in thefts , according to the Public Security Secretariat.
Therefore, considering increasingly alarming data on thefts and robberies, the use of telemetry systems for motorcycles becomes indispensable.
Therefore, we have gathered important information that you should consider when choosing a motorcycle telemetry system that fits your management needs.

What are the biggest management challenges that motorcycle telemetry can solve?
A motorcycle fleet manager can face several challenges in their daily work. After all, this job is directly linked to productivity, control, and performance, both of drivers and vehicles.
Thus, in addition to being responsible for technical and personnel issues, he also has to deal with maintenance control and fleet availability, cost control, team development and operational efficiency.
Let's recall some of the biggest challenges related to management and discover how a telemetry system for motorcycles can help in various sectors:
compliance with processes
Driving style, as well as adherence to processes, are some of the main factors responsible for operational costs.
After all, performing quick and satisfactory services can ensure more profitability and savings, as the process does not need to be repeated and other tasks can be started.
Although the driver needs to be aware of possible changes to the motorcycle, it is the manager's role to ensure that the driver respects traffic laws and the company's fleet policy.
In addition, driving economically and responsibly allows for the minimization of accidents, lower fuel consumption, reduction in tire and parts wear and motorcycle maintenance.
Therefore, the use of a telemetry system for motorcycles is essential, as it can help managers monitor driver performance and increase the profitability of operations.

On the other hand, fuel economy is also a challenge for motorcycle fleet managers.

Therefore, fleet managers who want to achieve greater cost savings in their processes need to be aware of the evolution in fuel consumption and motorcycle performance.
The manager's hectic routine does not always allow him to monitor the motorcycle fleet in a unified way and, therefore, ends up opting for the use of fuel consumption spreadsheets.
But these worksheets do not always help. After all, their use requires the manager to spend hours obtaining data and, only afterwards, carry out the necessary analyzes to obtain greater savings.
Therefore, the use of tracking systems that integrate fuel supply data for motorcycles can optimize time and make these analyses more reliable , with a lower probability of human error.

Surplus motorcycles in operation
Allowing the fleet's motorcycles to be in motion unnecessarily leads to more expenses, maintenance, changing tires and using drivers who could be working in strategic locations.
In addition, understanding how many motorcycles are needed in each operation makes processes more economical and better planned.

In this way, it is possible to establish preventive maintenance plans, cut unnecessary expenses and make investments in areas that really need it.
But for this to happen, it's essential that the manager has greater control over the fleet. That's why a telemetry system for motorcycles is so important, as it allows vehicles to operate only when necessary and under ideal conditions.
Fleet motorcycle maintenance
We know how maintenance is essential for the correct operation of vehicles, so carrying out a maintenance plan becomes essential to ensure safety and productivity in fleets.
You already know that carrying out preventive maintenance helps in the early identification of possible failures in the motorcycles. In this way, they contribute to the minimization of larger and more expensive problems.
Identifying the route that motorcycle fleets take in their routines, as well as the speed, driver behavior and frequency of maintenance help to establish a prevention plan.

That's why a motorcycle telemetry system is so important, as it helps managers recognize the need for maintenance on fleet motorcycles and thus avoid major losses.
What are the most important indicators in the motorcycle telemetry system?
After recalling some of the biggest challenges faced by managers and how telemetry systems for motorcycles can solve them , we will see why performance indicators are so important for managing motorcycle fleets.

After all, through the indicators it is possible to understand whether the chosen strategy is working correctly and how to optimize it to lead to better results.
Therefore, when choosing a telemetry system for motorcycles, one should consider whether it covers these indicators and allows the manager to perform in-depth analyses of the most common bottlenecks faced in management.
Among the main indicators for managing motorcycle fleets are:
- Fuel efficiency;
- Fuel purchase price;
- Maintenance expenses;
- Tire expenses;
- Excesses of speed.
An ideal telemetry system for motorcycles should allow the manager to identify whether these indicators are improving or not, and thus establish strategies to improve them even further.
