Why telematics is indispensable in the mobility budget

The mobility budget is based on a simple question:
What mobility do your employees really need on a daily basis, and under what conditions?

However, there are only a few companies that have a clear and objective picture of their mobility usage.

This is where connectivity comes into play.

With Targa Telematics technology, accurate measurements can be taken:

• the actual distances covered;
• the frequency of use of the vehicles;
• commuting and business trips;
• the periods during which vehicles are used and stationary;
• the differences between actual needs and the size of the fleet.

Without this data, it is difficult to draw up a coherent, fair, and sustainable mobility budget .

Developing a mobility strategy based on actual usage

Thanks to telematics data, you can base your decisions on facts and no longer on assumptions.

With this data, you can, among other things:

• to identify vehicles that are used infrequently and that can be replaced by a mobility allowance;

• to define profiles suitable for multimodal solutions (bicycle, public transport, car sharing, etc.);

• to correctly determine the fleet size;

• detect opportunities for electrification or shared use.

With this data-driven approach , the mobility budget is no longer an experiment: it is a strategic lever.

Connected mobility facilitates operational implementation

The introduction of a mobility budget often entails the management of multiple solutions: car sharing, electric vehicles, bicycles, parking spaces, reservation platforms, etc.

Targa Telematics' connected solutions make it possible to unify and manage this ecosystem smoothly:

• management of shared cars

• digital reservation and keyless access

• real-time monitoring of usage

• supervision of a mixed vehicle fleet (combustion engines, hybrid, electric)

• smart charging management

In this way, the company can offer more flexible and better-tailored mobility than a private car for every employee.

Multimodal and shared mobility optimizes costs

The mobility budget encourages alternatives to the company car.
With smart mobility solutions, these alternatives can be offered while costs remain strictly under control.

Using data, you can:

• Aligning the mobility offer with actual needs

• detect unnecessary vehicles

• reduce total mobility costs by up to 25%

• reduce the carbon footprint, by up to 30%

• optimally allocate resources across employees, branches, and teams

Technology is becoming a key lever to put an efficient, manageable, and needs-based mobility budget into practice.
