You spend too much time doing reports and paperwork
As a fleet manager you have a huge number of responsibilities. You need to make sure customers are happy, that your drivers are motivated and that your vehicles are good condition.
Unfortunately, we find that many fleet managers end up over-stretched and unable to tend to their duties. Why? They have to spend all their time doing paperwork
With our dashboard, stats collected are from your tracking systems and then delivered through reports and statistics that will massively reduce the amount of paperwork you have to do – meaning you can focus on managing your fleet.
While using Driver Journal in FleetManager fleet management system you can monitor when the driver started his job, finished the job and other important details.
Your Fleet Management running costs are too high
Fuel, insurance, vehicle maintenance… the lists of costs your fleet can incur will go on and on. Your fleet is a business venture, and you want it to turn a profit. Even if you already turn a profit, increasing that margin can only be good for you, your business and your drivers.
That’s why it’s important to optimize. If better routing can reduce fuel costs or improved driver behaviour can reduce insurance costs, then investing in the technology to do this will result in an upturn in profits over time.
