The transportation industry is still facing numerous challenges, fleet management being no exception (sigh). Fleet managers are tasked with balancing a multitude of tasks that all have the same level of priority, and, if not properly maintained, these tasks can soon turn into the following ‘common’ fleet management problems:
Inefficient travel routes: Unplanned routes often take too long or direct drivers through heavy traffic areas, leading to increased fuel consumption, longer delivery (and wait times for customers), and decreased driver morale.
Asset maintenance: Assets (powered and non-powered) require regular maintenance for safe operation and optimal efficiency. Irregular asset maintenance can lead to breakdowns, increased repair costs and a decreased asset lifespan.
Increased fuel costs: Higher than usual fuel costs can significantly impact a fleet’s operating expenses and profitability.
Decreased driver safety: Poor driver behaviour on roads, such as speeding or reckless driving, can increase the risk of accidents and damage to vehicles.
Compliance: Failing to comply with national regulations such as Road User Charges (RUCs), Vehicle Registration (Rego), and hours-of-service regulations can result in fines and legal penalties for your business.
So how can we solve these issues? The answer is simple and easy to implement - Argus Tracking’s GPS Tracking & Fleet Management software. We are fortunate enough to have worked with thousands of fleets over the years and this experience has helped us to design several solutions that can make fleet managers’ lives easier. Our software can provide historical and real-time visibility that you can use to…
Optimise travel routes
Create automatic WoF, CoF, Rego, & RUC notifications & renewals
Reduce fuel consumption
Monitor driver behaviour
Ensure compliance with regulations
Not only will our solutions help to fix these common fleet problems, but they are also a great way to mitigate any Health & Safety risks for your team. Monitoring driver behaviour to identify and address unsafe driving practices, installing hardware such as Panic Buttons and Rollover Sensors, and asset maintenance alerts are just some of the tools that can be utilised to keep your fleet safe.
We’ve helped fleet managers nationwide improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and increase driver safety. If you’d like to be next, contact our team of experts today for a non-obligatory chat.
