Confusing fleet costs
Do you know this too? Evaluating the mobility costs for vehicle fleets feels like a wild hunt through countless tables. The expenses are hidden somewhere in various Excel files, and getting a clear overview is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Time for a digital solution: digital fleet management gives you all mobility costs at a glance – transparently, in real time and just as precisely as you are used to from other processes such as accounting.
High admin workload
Reading odometer readings, keeping logbooks, checking driving times… Sound familiar? Sure, it not only takes time, but also strains the neck muscles during a desk marathon! Digital tools take over these tasks and forward all data automatically. This allows you to regain valuable capacity and errors become a rarity.
You have no idea how busy your fleet is
Another sign that it’s time to digitize your fleet is that you’re losing track. How efficiently is your fleet really being used? If you are regularly on the road with half-empty vehicles, you are losing money. Digital solutions give you full control through evaluations and real-time analyses and immediately show you how mileage and utilization are doing. With so much transparency, you can only optimize vehicle usage.
No real-time monitoring of vehicles
Do you always know where your vehicles are, when the next maintenance is due or what your employees can do in the event of a breakdown? If not, maybe it’s time for GPS tracking! This means you always know exactly where your fleet is and can react quickly – whether in the event of a breakdown, a traffic jam or if unplanned detour are necessary. A digital solution creates more safety and ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Legal pitfalls and personal liability
Who wants to end up in a legal trap? If you’re still manually keeping track of your driver’s license checks and pickerl appointments, you could be in trouble faster than your vehicle needs an oil change! Missing driver’s license checks or missed deadlines for pickerl and maintenance can lead to real nightmares – and in the worst cases, even personal liability! But don’t worry, digital driver’s license checks and automatic reminders of pickerl appointments keep you safe on the road. This means you won’t miss any more deadlines and your fleet will not only stay in top shape, but you’ll also be on the safe side legally. No more panic – digitalization makes it possible!
Do you recognize one or more of these signs in your company? Then it’s high time to digitize your fleet!
The advantages speak for themselves: automated processes, real-time insights, maximum control over security. This not only increases efficiency, but also makes your mobility strategy fit for the future.
