Fleet management is the way companies look after and manage their vehicles. A fleet of vehicles could be made up of cars, vans, trucks, HGVs, forklifts, or any other type of vehicles needed for your specific line of work.<\/p>\n

Vehicle fleets come in all shapes and sizes, each presenting their own challenges and levels of complexity. From safety and compliance to managing the health of your vehicles, there are lots of variables that effect the successful management of a vehicle fleet.<\/p>\n

So, whether you run 5,000 or 50 vehicles, efficiency, optimisation and safety are always top priority.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”43540″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What does a Fleet Manager do?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23152644″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Behind every fleet, is the Fleet Manager and their team. Also known as Fleet Operators or Coordinators, these roles depend on the business and its requirements but is mainly centred on the management of the vehicles themselves.<\/p>\n

Another important role is that of the Transport Manager, where they manage more of the logistics side of a business.<\/p>\n

Depending on the size and needs of a business, these roles and responsibilities will differ and potentially merge. But both fleet and transport departments must work together in sync, as deliveries simply cannot happen without the vehicles or the drivers in place.<\/p>\n

A varied role, here\u2019s a few examples of a Fleet Manager\u2019s responsibilities:<\/p>\n

Does a company need more or fewer vehicles? Fleet Managers will be constantly assessing the operational requirements of the business and buying, selling and leasing assets where needed.<\/p>\n

Fuel, insurance, vehicle maintenance \u2013 all cost money. Managing these costs and spotting cost-saving opportunities is an important part of the day-to-day management of a vehicle fleet.<\/p>\n

A safe and compliant fleet<\/a> is a happy one! Under Australia’s Chain of Responsibility (CoR) laws<\/strong><\/a>, everyone involved in the transport supply chain shares responsibility for ensuring safe and compliant transport operations. This includes drivers, operators, consignors, consignees, loaders, packers, booking entities, and any other party<\/strong> with influence over the safety of a vehicle and its load.<\/p>\n

At the core of CoR is the primary duty<\/strong>, which requires all parties to take reasonable steps<\/strong> to ensure the safety of transport activities. This includes managing risks<\/strong> related to vehicle loading, driver fatigue, and compliance with road rules. Keeping vehicle and licence checks up to date, maintaining roadworthiness, and proactively addressing potential hazards help prevent incidents before they happen\u2014keeping everyone safer on the road.<\/p>\n

A Fleet Management System<\/a> will primarily look after your vehicles and your drivers, covering areas such as vehicle maintenance, Electronic Work Diaries (EWDs) and telematics-based fatigue management systems and compliance monitoring.\u00a0 Whereas a Transport Management System<\/a> will manage your transportation and supply chain processes, such as route planning<\/a>, freight scheduling, vehicle tracking<\/a> and fleet telematics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Modern systems may do both or are set up to talk to one another so data can be transferred, collated and analysed to unlock extra fleet efficiency and optimisation. Today\u2019s fleet management software is also adaptable and scalable so you can add on and grow your system in line with your operations. Some systems are completely bespoke and built to match a business\u2019s fleet requirements.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of features you can find on fleet and transport systems:<\/p>\n

Time and money are the two big ticket items any businesses would like to save; technology can help with both.<\/p>\n

In terms of time, using a Fleet Management System can keep track of all your vehicle and driver information in one central place. That includes all your documentation and dates, with alerts and reminders to notify when something is missing, or action is required.<\/p>\n

When it comes to compliance, embracing technology is essential. Collating all your fleet data digitally will streamline and future-proof your operations, leaving an audit trail and enabling you to manage fleet performance in new and more sophisticated ways.<\/p>\n
