RESOURCE & FLEET MANAGEMENT

For vehicle fleet hire, plant hire, coach transport and high value asset operations knowing the location, status and utilisation of resources is key to efficiency and performance. Back office overheads for updating schedules, maintenance requirements and regulatory documents can often be problematic. Safety of customers and drivers is often covered by legislation requirements.


Issues

  • Do you need to locate your resources or assets in real-time?
  • Do you know your mobile employees are safe at all times?
  • Do you find it difficult to identify under-utillised assets that may be surplus to requirements?
  • Do mobile workers get lost attending dynamic delivery / servicing points?
  • Do you know how your assets are being utilised and maintained whilst outside of your direct control?
  • Is damage and negligent use of your assets costing you money?
