Companies with fleets are numerous. Carriers, couriers, sales forces, utilities, public transportation and other industries all have fleets that need to be managed as efficiently as possible. Knowing the processes required to manage a fleet allows the company to control associated costs, remain competitive in the marketplace and meet customer service expectations.
In this article we discover the role of technology in ensuring fleet safety, increasing operational efficiency and saving time.
The technology
Fleets produce an enormous amount of useful data, so having easy-to-navigate technology makes things easier for fleet managers.
You should be able to quickly track and isolate key data points, allowing you to spot them and make good decisions. But remember, data alone can never replace human judgment. To produce actionable steps, you need to combine analytics-driven technology with customized fleet management expertise. With both in place, you can start focusing on cost-saving measures.
Les trois points de données les plus étroitement associés aux économies de coûts sont: Le coût total de possession, les coûts de carburant et les coûts de maintenance.
Total Cost of Ownership: The TCO calculates all the parameters that impact the cost of purchasing and using a vehicle. Monitoring the TCO allows the fleet manager to evaluate more precisely the cost of the fleet. Indeed, he can then evaluate if his fleet is in adequacy with the defined objectives and remedy what does not fit in the requested framework.
Fuel costs: Not sure if your drivers are in the most fuel-efficient options? Interactive dashboards make it easy to track various factors and make corrections. Fleet managers can easily identify and limit outliers and realize significant cost savings.
Maintenance costs: While some repairs are unavoidable, regular maintenance monitoring is a good way to avoid costly repair bills. By monitoring overall and unit expenses, fleet maintenance managers can reduce repair expenses and manage their vehicles in increasingly efficient and effective ways
