The total fuel costs which gets generated at the end of the month is something about which every fleet manager or owner is worried. How about listing some reasons for your over exceeded fuel costs?
Operations Are Taking Too Long
Do you find that your schedule is never being followed? That drivers don’t arrive when they should? That the knock on effects make planning your fleet’s activities a nightmare?
Then fleet management system is all you need. In Fleet management system’s Web and Mobile dashboard, you can track your vehicles in real-time and be informed where are your drivers at that moment.
The dashboard of fleet management system gives you information about vehicle such as GPS signal status, speed, driver’s name, speeding alerts and extra information such as vehicle’s temperature, etc.
Your Vehicle Routes Are Not Optimized
Without vehicle tracking, it’s extremely difficult to see the route your drivers are taking. Your drivers might me taking long routes which ultimately results in high fuel cost and more time.
With Route Optimisation feature in fleet management systems, the drivers get the best routes and you can enjoy lower fuel costs and higher efficiency.
Job Dispatch Route Optimisation allows you to see the estimated distance and journey time of your planned routes letting you tune them manually with your local area knowledge.
You Are Not Aware About Your Driver’s Break Time
Unscheduled or long breaks can throw your timings out, but it’s impossible to find out if this is the problem without data.
Equally, you don’t want to come down hard on all your drivers as many of them may be taking perfectly reasonable breaks – their delays may be caused by other problems.
With Fleet Management system, check your driver’s schedule and appointed jobs.
When It Comes To Your Drivers, You Don’t Know The Good From The Bad
Whether we’re talking about aptitude or attitude, tracking and monitoring solutions allow you to determine which of your drivers are and aren’t operating at the standard you expect.
This will also allow you to accurately assess your drivers, so you can encourage good driving and reward your best drivers. It will also allow you to determine where additional training may be required.
With fleet management software, check inappropriate driver’s behaviour by setting up speeding, engine idling and harsh breaking alerts.
Your Vehicles Suffer Unsustainable Amounts of Wear And Tear
Irregular amounts of wear and tear can be caused by a multitude of factors.
Drivers not being given enough time to complete their journeys will cause them to rush which will put undue stress on their vehicle. Equally, heavy acceleration and aggressive breaking will put a strain on your vehicles.
LocoNav Fleet Management Services will allow you determine exactly what is causing excessive wear and tear – and then you can work out what to do about it.
