In a strategic move to enhance their fleet management capabilities, Grupo Angal, a Spanish retailer group renowned among others for selling Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has adopted our 'connect your fleet' API. The interface solution has enabled the retailer to integrate Mercedes-Benz vehicle data seamlessly into their existing fleet management system. The integration of the data has allowed Grupo Angal to optimize the management of their extensive fleet, which includes over 400 vehicles, with improved efficiency and precision. This development highlights the retailer´s commitment to innovation and their pursuit of excellence in vehicle retail and the management of their fleet.
Real-Time vehicle data for enhanced oversight and safety.
For Grupo Angal, effective fleet management is synonymous with having a comprehensive, real-time overview of their fleet operations. The adoption of our interface solution aligns perfectly with this vision, as it allows for the seamless monitoring of vehicle location and mileage without the need for any additional hardware (retrofit solution). This not only simplifies the management process but also underscores Grupo Angal's commitment to data privacy, ensuring that all vehicle data is handled with great care.
The integration of Mercedes-Benz vehicle data into the retailer´s own fleet management system has opened new possibilities. Initially, the focus has been on position and mileage data, but plans are already in place to expand this scope to include detailed analysis of driver behavior. This future expansion aims to enhance safety and ensure compliance with the high standards of the retailer´s operation. Utilizing our 'connect your fleet' API, Grupo Angal can access a broad range of vehicle data as needed, with our current offering of 18 data packages providing insights into vehicle health, charging, fuel consumption, parking events, and more.
Seamless integration and elevated decision-making.
One of the most significant benefits of using Mercedes-Benz vehicle data is the reliability and ease of access it provides. Grupo Angal has found that the data they now receive is not only more accurate but also more available, allowing for a better decision-making process and fleet optimization.
The integration of vehicle data into the existing fleet management system of the retailer was marked by its simplicity and the reliable support provided by the Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services’ team, states Fernández-Vial Román. The documentation was clear and comprehensive, and any queries or issues were quickly addressed by the Technical Support team, making the transition smooth and trouble-free.
