For many companies the vehicle fleet represents the single biggest asset base in the organization as well as a key differentiator for the service force. Certainly, the costs and risks associated with a vehicle fleet demand a rigorous approach to utilizing, managing, and maintaining these assets. Fleet management often in conjunction with Mobile Field Service Management can be used to increase accountability, ensure service level agreement compliance, and reduce costs and risks.
Automatic Vehicle Location
Using GPS enabled mobile, on-board computers provides a real-time view of the exact location and speed of your vehicles. This information can be used to increase dispatch efficiency, eliminate wasted mileage, improve fuel efficiency and guarantee compliance with service level agreements.
Hours of Service Reporting
Automating manual hours of service reporting removes the risk of human error and ensures that your drivers are operating within federal guidelines. Automated hours of service reporting can be accomplished with devices as simple as a cell phone connected to an on-board computer.
Fuel Tax Reporting
In these times of decreased revenue for government agencies, federal and local authorities alike continue to dedicate extensive resources to fuel tax compliance. By automating fuel tax reporting you not only reduce the administrative expense associated with this time consuming and frustrating activity but also ensure accuracy in case of audit.
Driver Score Cards
Driver score cards help improve safety, reduce vehicle wear and tear, conserve fuel, and recognize top drivers. Scorecards are a very powerful means of behavior modification. By using an on-board computer to collect information about speeding, swerves, hard brakes and other key performance indicators and comparing that data against company standards can greatly reduce costs and safety risks for your fleet.
