Uber launches UberFLEET for better fleet management in India

Cab aggregator Uber has launched UberFLEET, an Android app aimed at better fleet management for its driver-partners in 29 cities across India.

The app has been designed to improve the overall productivity for fleet owners by making the process of managing drivers more efficient and reducing their downtime.

"UberFLEET allows fleet partners with driver positioning, helping drivers achieve maximum performance and overall, run their fleets more efficiently," said Apurva Dalal, Head of Engineering, Uber India.

In terms of features, the app includes a live map where the managers can track the driver’s current location in real-time, see the drop-off location for the ongoing ride, and also the location where they went offline.

It also allows fleet owners to track driver's performance including daily and weekly trips, hours online, earnings (cash and non-cash), ratings and cancellations via detailed reports.

Managers can also see a breakdown of earnings and day-to-day activity and trip details for each driver to make the payment process easier for partners. This also gives you a detailed insight into your earnings as well.

A few months back, local aggregator, Ola had also launched a similar fleet management app called Ola Operator that offers features like monitoring driver's real-time location, driver's activities like their on & off hours, pick up & drop-off locations and driver earnings reports and others.
