Fleet management automation is a fact of life these days, and most cannot deny its striking advantages over traditional working systems. We have covered this topic in some depth in previous articles, but we can always find some more positive reasons for choosing computerized systems over manual methods of managing fleets - here are another four:
1. Automated safe driving program
Fleet management automation software generally comes with a full suite of driver behaviour alerts that particularly focus on dangerous driving patterns such as harsh braking, speeding, rapid acceleration and harsh cornering. All of these help in developing an automated safe driving program, with space for risk assessment, driver training, rewarding safe driving and much more.
2. Integrated fuel management
Most systems automatically integrate with fuel cards and constitute a complete fuel management system, spotlighting fuel usage and consumption in conjunction with dangerous driving, allowing space not only to improve education on fleet safety, but also in order to more fully embrace eco-driving.
3. System standardisation
Automation software undoubtedly assists the managing of fleets, whether you are operating fleets in urban areas or you need to centralise and organise vehicles in remote locations; this can all be achieved within the same comprehensive system that would surely be very challenging to accomplish if you were to rely on manual methods alone. You will quickly appreciate how powerful fleet management automation software really is!
4. Built-in maintenance management
Most fleet management software comes with a series of built-in tools that you can use which enhance visibility, improve asset utilisation and better organise any part of the lifecycle of a fleet. Maintenance is no exception, and is not only inextricably connected with utilisation and vehicle lifespan, but also with legal compliance—it’s an integral great part of it.
