3 Steps to Increase Your Company's Vehicle Fleet Productivity
Key Takeaways:
  1. Evaluate driver productivity from score reports and driving behaviour history objectively
  2. Avoid costly downtime with scheduled preventative maintenance before any damage happens
  3. Identify inefficient vehicles from usage data to optimise fleet composition and costs

You can boost your vehicle fleet's productivity by taking a few steps, such as using technology for an efficient management system and keeping up with vehicle maintenance cycles to avoid downtime. Check out the explanation below.

 

1. Use a Fleet Management System

By using advanced vehicle telematics technology like GPS trackers and fleet management software, you can create an efficient system. This technology digitises your fleet operations and administration, making fleet management more efficient and boosting productivity. You can save time through features such as route planning, assigning the nearest vehicles to destinations, task and schedule management, automatic fuel receipt verification, and automated reporting and performance analysis.

 

2. Driver Productivity Evaluation

From monitoring the GPS tracker, you can see driver behaviour on the road, such as speeding, driving harshly, braking hard, and leaving the engine running while the vehicle is stopped (idling). The GPS tracker also provides information on drivers' work hours, the duration of each trip, and when and how long they are in a certain geofence. These reports help you evaluate areas for improvement, design appropriate training, and ultimately boost your drivers' productivity. Additionally, the Driver Score Report can also be considered for giving incentives to recognise your best drivers.

 

Mechanics are checking the condition of the cars to ensure the productivity of the company's vehicle fleet remains optimal.

 

3. Perform Preventive Vehicle Maintenance

Vehicle damage can increase the risk of accidents and slow down task completion—leading to time and cost losses. By applying preventive maintenance procedures, including replacing parts before they’re completely worn out, you can prevent breakdowns and downtime while keeping your vehicles in top condition. To stay on top of your vehicle maintenance cycles, you can use the scheduling feature in fleet management software. Service schedules can be set based on kilometres, periods, and the operational duration of each vehicle.
