Overview<\/b><\/h2>\n

Any business in the logistics sphere has had its share of conventional trucking challenges. One of our esteemed clients, a major freight transport business, was no exception to the rule. With decades of experience as a logistics service provider, our client maintains a persistent run of its operations between the expansive routes of Delhi, UP, Gujarat and Bihar. The business has developed an intensive network of close to 200 trucks in its fleet over time.<\/p>\n

The key pressure point for the client was an underwhelming performance of its fleet operations at large. With the AI-powered solutions offered by LocoDrive<\/a><\/span>, the business was able to achieve tremendous success in optimising its fleet performance and operation.<\/p>\n

LocoDrive \u2013 The Driving Force\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

The LocoDrive platform stands on three key offerings: Fleet Management, Driver Management and Operations Management. Leveraging these solutions for their business, we were able to identify and work on the following focus areas for the client.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Utilisation<\/b><\/h3>\n

Part of the LocoDrive mission was optimisation of vehicle utilisation for the company. A quick study of previous fleet performance reports revealed that the company was troubled with unprecedented and unaccounted for delays, leading to a sharp decline in its average running time.<\/p>\n

In order to proactively prevent delays, a system of enhanced accountability, communication and visibility was set in place. This led to more stringent follow ups with drivers on the road, identification of laggard performers and more streamlined operations throughout. As a consequence, the company witnessed an increase in running Kms by 29% within the first 30 days of our association.<\/p>\n

The prevalence of difficulties in communication and coordination presented before the business on a select route that was perennially problematic. However, the client was able to record an astounding growth of 62% in the running Kms M-o-M, simply by addressing coordination issues and miscommunication with the help of LocoDrive\u2019s asset utilisation solutions.<\/p>\n

The company was also deeply concerned about one of the most important performance indicators in any logistics business, i.e., the turnaround time (TAT). Before LocoDrive came into the picture, our client was logging in a significantly increased TAT due to underutilisation of its fleet, along with a faltering ratio of trips made per vehicle. With LocoDrive\u2019s fleet and trip management strategies, a considerable improvement was seen in vehicle utility, with a smart vehicle-to-route allocation plan in place. This proved to be a true testament to LocoDrive\u2019s value addition to the organisation, especially by cutting down on time taken from loading to unloading depot.<\/p>\n
