To become more productive the operations of the fleet and other assets need to be visible. Tracking and usage data are vital to understanding usage patterns across the time of day, day of week and seasons across the year. It is also necessary to measure the productive use of assets through the capture of input data related to the operation of their core activities.

For fleet vehicles, this visibility enables improved management of fleet maintenance. Proactive maintenance management ensures fleets avoid unscheduled and costly downtime while maximising the operational lifetime of your fleet and assets.

With improved visibility and insightful data, allocation and routing of fleet vehicles can be more efficiently implemented. Integration of a fleet management solution has been shown to reduce the total distance travelled by 10.6%, providing significant savings in vehicle maintenance, operational costs, and rationalisation of fleet size.

Visibility also improves asset availability by ensuring access and locating of vehicles in shared fleets is streamlined, improving operational productivity, and understanding of the fleet use profile.

Rationalisation of fleets ensures the fleet size and type matches the fleet’s requirements with demand and ensures that utilisation is maximised without affecting operations. It also ensures that the appropriate vehicles are available for the job, which reduces operational costs.
