Now, you could be forgiven that fleet management is for the Eddie Stobart’s of the world, operators with huge fleets, but you’d be wrong - you’re still running a fleet, regardless of size and you want to optimize the use of that fleet as much as possible. Whether you own a courier company with five long wheelbase vans serving customers in London, or a just starting out with a couple of Ford Transit Connects in your local area, making sure that your ROI on them is as high as possible has got to be a priority. This is where Fleet Management Software comes in...
Improved Efficiencies = Cost Savings
At the top of any companies list, regardless of area, has got to be efficiencies - what’s the best route for your drivers? How do you make the most of every drop of fuel? Fleet Management software utilizes GPS technology to optimize routes, which reduces downtime and in turn increases vehicle utilization. By doing so, it improves productivity - which in turn saves fuel. By optimizing your routes, your fleet wear and tear will reduce and in turn your maintenance costs will go down.
Ensuring Compliance - No Nasty Fines
Running a fleet is complicated enough, Fleet Management Software ensures that your fleet stays compliant, with digital insurance reminders, fleet lease renewal notifications, MOT reminders, tax and vehicle servicing record tracking keeping you up to date with the legalities essential to the fleet owner. The last thing you need is a brown envelope dropping onto your desk with a hefty penalty notice enclosed...not what your bottom-line needs.
Build a Solid Reputation - and Loyalty
The delivery business is a cut-throat one, with many companies vying for business, so how do you stand out? You want to be the one that people are recommending, the local businesses for whom an efficient delivery service can make or break their day, or the school mum who sings your praises at the school gates. Fleet Management helps you to deliver your promises by providing real-time delivery information and tracking. Want to emulate the big companies and impress? Fleet Management gives you the same edge, makes you look bigger and gives your customer a greater sense of security, building trust and loyalty.
Improved Safety
Should the worst indeed happen, you’re alerted to any accidents, with all the details and information required for the accurate reporting of an incident, or indeed the breakdown of a vehicle. Being informed of these instances means that you can get help to your driver more quickly, should they not be in a position to do so themselves - another layer of peace of mind.
Flexible
Fleet management software is scalable, meaning that as your fleet grows, it can grow with it. At this stage of your business’s life, cost efficiencies will become even more important, but knowing that you’ve already got those in check will give you the added piece of mind that modern technology can give. You’re being a responsible business owner, giving your enterprise every chance to grow and flourish in what is becoming an increasingly crowded space.
So, in summary, by investing in fleet management software you’re giving your business a tool that can keep you ahead of the competition, reduce your whole fleet running costs, give you the ability to make informed decisions and ensure that your business stays compliant. It’s also likely that it will pay for itself in the savings that it generates. Ultimately though, it will give you more time to do what’s really important, running your business.
