Digital transformation changes the way in which a company develops its strategy, using technology to execute its processes. It is more than merely converting hard copies of documents into digital formats or using a digital platform instead of an Excel spreadsheet. Nowadays, digital transformation represents a key change if you’re looking to ensure your company remains competitive. ‘Digital” refers to the use of technology which generates, stores and processes data.
The implementation of technology alone doesn’t comprise a digital transformation. However, the transformation of a company to make the most of the potential offered by these technologies does represent a digital transformation, entailing a shift in the company’s culture.
Digital transformation entails several benefits for fleet management, including:
