A Guide to Fleet Management
What is Fleet Management at Fleet-Serv?
To put it briefly, Fleet Management oversees a company's fleet operations. Often, logistically speaking Fleet Management depends on the size of a company and the number of vehicles it has.
At Fleet-Serv, our Fleet Management process often consists of a combination of personal and business software systems which are used to ensure the safety compliance and efficient use of your company fleet of vehicles and trailers. We understand managing a fleet of vehicles can be challenging at times therefore this helps to eliminate risks involved with the costs and efficiency whilst maintaining company vehicles.
Moving on, so what does managing a fleet typically involve? There are several areas that include:
- Quality checks are performed daily.
- Asset management tracking through GPS.
- Time and mileage tracking.
- Maintenance schedule and planning.
- Reporting on common defects.
- Keeping track of vehicle events before they become overdue.
- V5s, plating certificates, and other legal documents are managed.
- Control of equipment access.
