In its SaaS ecosystem, Velco has developed Velco Fleet Management, a software designed to meet the needs of electric bicycle fleet managers.
This software has several functionalities allowing an optimal management of the fleet of electric bicycles.
Real-time bike monitoring
With several bikes in circulation, the fleet manager needs visibility. In real time, he must be able to visualise the state of his bikes to guarantee an optimal service to his customers: number and location of available bikes, state of their battery, number of journeys made, maintenance operations to be planned, etc.
Connectivity addresses these different needs. Via an IoT device integrated directly into the e-bikes, data are transmitted instantaneously. Centralised on Velco Fleet management, our e-bike fleet management software, the data is transformed into services to facilitate management and optimise fleet performances. Synchronised data collection helps fleet managers to be more responsive from a logistical and marketing point of view by addressing issues such as wear and tear, breakdown or theft. The direct analysis of the data collected will help to provide a more enjoyable experience for cyclists by adjusting the flow of bicycles in circulation or removing those that have been unloaded.
A solution to secure your bike fleet
Our IoT are designed to be discreetly integrated into the bike. Inaccessible and undetectable, they secure the electric bicycle fleet. Via Velco Fleet Management, the manager visualises the geographical position of each bike in real time. The technology embedded in the IoT enables it to provide precise geolocation with a worldwide coverage.
In the front line of protection against theft, cyclists have an interface to help them protect their bikes. Through Velco Rider, our white label mobile application for cyclists, they can:
- Receive notifications in case of suspicious movement
- Set up automated actions in case of suspiscious movement: Locking/unlocking,electric power cut-off, sound alarm
- Get the live and precise position of the e-bike with geolocation
- Report a theft: the cyclist can directly report the theft of the bike within the application
A strong anti-theft device helps fleet managers limitate thefts and bike losses, optimises the recovery rates and reduces the replacements costs. Cyclists are made responsible for their bikes (with a franchise for example) and can be rewarded for using the app to protect e-bikes. They enjoy a simple and complete antitheft to protect their bike, encouraging them to use it more and bringing high satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Optimize your profits generated by your fleet!
Good fleet monitoring can boost the performances and profitability of your business.
- Less expensive maintenance management: the collection of data on distances travelled and the analysis of the frequency of use make it possible to move towards preventive maintenance. By anticipating breakdowns, this reduces the downtime of electric bicycles and improves the user experience.
- A better knowledge of users: by analysing the data collected, the fleet manager can understand the use of his fleet by identifying high-traffic areas, rush hours or recurrent journeys. Moreover, thanks to the personal data, he will be able to conduct better targeted marketing actions according to the user’s typology.
