Ready to Take [Control] of All Your Business’s Light Vehicles?

Your management team who understands your business objectives, can take control anytime to locate and manage your fleet effectively, without ever needing the drivers’ input.

Knowing where your vehicles are and what delays they may be experiencing, gives you critical business intelligence to help you communicate more effectively with your team.

Knowing the exact times a vehicle moves, gives you a digital log and timesheet showing what time a vehicle left the office and what time it arrived.

By marking common customer sites, lunch bars and landmarks, you can see that vehicles are at the designated sites without needing to reach the driver.

Fleet utilisation analysis means there’s no need to rely on claims of staff wanting vehicles.

See which vehicles are heavily used and which are hardly used, and monitor running costs to help you decide when to update.

Your schedulers and support staff can use BlackBox tracking and see immediately where any vehicle is. This allows them to judge whether it is on schedule, if it’s worth redirecting it to a new job or dispatching a support vehicle, or if they need to call in the unloading team.

You can check each vehicle’s odometer anytime from the comfort of your office. This gives you accountability and helps your team manage distances travelled each day, check the fuel bill against distance travelled and compare running cost against alternative vehicles (justifying purchasing decisions). It also helps you schedule servicing on time, helping your vehicle fleet be more reliable and run more economically.

Monitoring excessive idling and harsh vehicle use can help reduce costs through wasteful fuel burn, keeping vehicles in better shape and reducing expensive unplanned maintenance.

Optimise under-utilised vehicles by tracking distance and hours used. It’s easy to see which vehicles are sitting idle or not being used to their capacity. This maximises your investment in the vehicle and shows which vehicle is more available.

Locating where the issues are and fixing them creates opportunities for streamlining and improving production from each vehicle.

Does a certain loading dock always keep your drivers waiting? Keeping the wheels turning with a load onboard keeps costs down and production up.

Automated alerts can be setup to notify supervisors — even on their mobile phone. This could be a convenient check for when a driver gets back in the evening, or has pulled up for the night. Using technology helps reduce time logging data, but also gives you comfort from knowing when areas of interest and regular milestones are being met.

Automate service reminders when vehicles reach set distance or time usage milestones. This simplifies the task of managing services and ensures nothing is ever overlooked.

Reminders for servicing any onboard items that need inspections can also be set.

You can even check that a vehicle went to a recognised service point.

Understanding loading, travel and unloading times will help you bid more accurately for business and increases your chance of winning more profitable jobs.

Or you may discover the distance travelled to a site is further than both parties thought, or the time on site was longer than anticipated. Irrefutable documented variance evidence may give you an opportunity to renegotiate.

Monitoring harsh braking and cornering can highlight poor performance which adds to running costs, fuel, tyres, brakes and overall servicing. It may also point to potentially reckless or dangerous behaviour that needs addressing.

You can also see if drivers are taking the best route or travelling via their favourite pub or bakery for lunch.

With the ability to monitor both the vehicle and the driver 24/7 through software and automated text updates and cameras, the safety and security of the driver and vehicle are never more than a key-stroke away.

Measuring loading and unloading times helps to locate, isolate and improve time management issues. Why does it vary by driver? Take longer at one site? One shift is quicker than another?

Site attendance times are now much easier and faster to log and report, taking only minutes, where previously it could have taken most of the day.

Staff overtime claims can also be checked against actual vehicle use time reported.
