KUALA LUMPUR: Mobile telecommunication service provider Digi.Com Bhd has introduced RM1 Million Fleet Transformation Fund to help enterprises digitise their business in the area of fleet management, leveraging on iFleet, the company’s fleet management solution.
Digi’s chief digital officer Praveen Rajan believes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the core audience where it can make the most difference in terms of business impact for participants.
“Being more efficient in running your fleet means maximising usage of your current fleet to improve arrival times, and possibly taking on more jobs without increasing the number of vehicles you own,” he said in a statement.
“The benefits can also be calculated as money saved, as well as the ease of using our service to relieve administrative jobs from the Fleet Manager and the time this will save,” he added.
Digi said SMEs registered in Malaysia with a fleet size of up to 30 vehicles are encouraged to apply to the fund, which will be open for applications from December 18, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
Apart from logistics, any SMEs that require the managing of cars, bikes, trucks, vans and more are encouraged to apply, it added.
This includes, but are not limited to SMEs in construction, engineering, government, healthcare, non-profit organisations, plumbing, pest control, security, rental car companies, transportation, delivery, medical or emergency services, runners and messenger bikes.
Successful applicants will receive up to RM10,000 in total subsidy amount for the installation of iFleet in their vehicles and also a subsidy towards the subscription of iFleet services.
Digi said iFleet, the intelligent fleet tracking solution enables businesses to track their fleet in real-time and is currently the most robust all-in-one solution available in the market.
With iFleet, enterprises can look forward to reap the benefits of having more visibility and control over operations and assets, as well as secure the freedom to focus on running their business, the telco said.
iFleet also helps in meeting required regulatory safety standards, credibility, efficiency and safety, which in turn aids in upscaling businesses, it added.
