track what it runs on
The vehicles are part of the operation.
Track vehicles, where they are and when they are next due for service, alongside the technicians who drive them.
what it does
What Fleet Management does
Fleet is usually managed separately from the work, which means the schedule can assign a job to a van that is off the road tomorrow.
Holding vehicles alongside the people and the jobs means location and availability feed the same picture dispatch is already looking at.
The vehicles have their own maintenance intervals, and those are jobs too.
- Vehicles held alongside technicians and jobs
- Location feeding the dispatch picture
- Servicing intervals tracked per vehicle
- Availability visible when planning the day
how it works
Four steps, and none of them are magic.
-
register
Vehicles are records like any other asset
Ownership or lease, registration and compliance dates, assigned technician, fitted equipment and the stock it carries.
-
locate
Position informs dispatch
Where vehicles are, so the schedule can reason about travel from where a technician actually is rather than where they were rostered to start.
-
maintain
The fleet gets serviced like the equipment you service
Registration, inspection and maintenance due dates raise their own work, so the vehicle that carries the technician is not the thing that fails.
-
account
Vehicle cost attaches to work
Utilisation, distance and running cost against jobs and regions, which is how you find out whether a territory is actually being served economically.
data and integration
What it reads, what it writes, what it sits beside.
Nothing here is a separate database. Fleet Management works off the same work order, customer and asset records as everything else, which is the whole reason the modules are worth running together.
reads
Vehicle records, assignments, telematics position and distance where available.
writes
Position into scheduling; maintenance jobs into the work order queue; vehicle cost into job reporting.
alongside
Your telematics provider: this reads position and distance rather than replacing the device.
questions we actually get
Before you ask us on the call.
No, but it is better with it. Without a feed you get the register, compliance dates and assignment; with one you also get position-aware scheduling and real distance.
The mainstream ones integrate. It consumes position and odometer data, so anything that exposes those can feed it.
Tracking can be limited to working hours and to what dispatch needs. This is worth agreeing with your technicians before switching it on rather than after.
Yes, once distance is attributed to work. It is one of the few reliable ways to see the true cost of a remote territory.
