Fleet managers and transport chiefs have a new source of independent advice. FleetInsights, created by fleet management software specialist FleetCheck, provides resources on critical industry topics. So far 500 people have signed up.
Popular areas of interest for members include strategic fuel efficiency for fleets, proactive van maintenance and best practice for work-related vehicle incidents.
Latest additions to its armoury of advice include how to manage vehicle offroad issues, why daily walkaround inspections are vital to fleet operations and strategic insights into total cost of ownership.
The work is backed by National Highways’ ‘Driving for Better Business’ project, which helps employers in both the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.
Peter Golding, CEO at the fleet software specialist, said the initial strength of response to the project showed the demand for advice that existed among fleets.
He said: “In recent years, fleet managers have been faced with a wide range of pressures, from electrification to high levels of downtime and, most recently, rapidly rising fuel costs. There are many people involved in operating fleets of all sizes looking for information and guidance enabling them to formulate strategies that meet these challenges. With FleetInsights, we are helping to meet that demand.”
The new fleet library is built on FleetCheck’s work to position itself as not just a provider of technology but also a trusted source of advice for users and others across the industry.
Golding added: “While it’s pleasing that so many people have signed up – both from within and outside our software user base – it’s also no surprise. We were aware this need existed and expect to see more people come onboard as our library of features grows.”
