About what the use of fleet management software yields you
- In addition to a control tool, fleet management software is primarily an aid
- Investment contrasts sharply with what you save
- You get used to it faster than you think
- Positive aspects that deserve more attention
Fleet management software is becoming more and more established. The business community is now making full use of it and almost everyone knows the terms GPS and Track & Trace.
However, this does not alter the fact that people are sometimes reluctant and look up to the purchase and implementation process of fleet management software. How is that and to what extent are the concerns justified? And what does the use of our software bring you?
In addition to a control tool, fleet management software is primarily an aid
GPS tracking can evoke ‘ Big Brother ’ associations. However, a GPS fleet management system not only fulfills a need for control. In daily practice it is mainly an aid. It helps people to work better and more pleasantly.
For example, everyone is happy if ( emergency ) activities are planned more effectively, so that less time is spent on the road and more time is spent at the customer. This is very beneficial for employee satisfaction and customer service.
Driving greener is another good example. Some companies are very competitive in that regard. Every month we look at who drove the most economically and safest. ‘ Scoring green ’, becomes a kind of sport, a nice game.
Investment contrasts sharply with what you save
Then of course there is the cost element. The purchase of fleet management software and its implementation and use cost money. However, that is in stark contrast to what you save. In terms of fuel costs, it quickly saves about 10 to 15% per month!
Not to mention the extra return achieved thanks to the improved planning, fewer administrative problems due to import errors, reduction of the number of damages and timely ( preventive ) maintenance.
All these benefits have a lasting effect. They can even reinforce each other enormously. Because in-depth insight into the fleet use makes connections visible, making targeted and balanced intervention a lot easier.
You get used to it faster than you think
Another point is that the organization has to get used to a new system, a different working method. However, the fear of this rarely turns out to be justified in reality. We underestimate how quickly we get used to something new, especially if the software is user-friendly.
All of the above issues play a greater or lesser role in the decision-making process surrounding Fleet repair management software and deserve time and attention. That is why we think it is so important to name them.
On the other hand, there are also a number of important positive aspects that are sometimes underexposed.
Positive aspects that deserve more attention
- Using fleet management software is considered modern and innovative. It is progressive to use new technology to improve business efficiency, continuity and sustainability. All stakeholders benefit from this.
- Awareness about risky driving behavior is important. Actually safer driving is even more important. Software such as Cdrive helps drivers by providing targeted feedback on their driving behavior, so that they can take action themselves.
- Safer driving reduces fuel costs and reduces our ecological footprint. Less CO2 is emitted and that is good for the environment. Something that is really essential for those who want to do corporate social responsibility ( CSR ).
Garage Plug also contributes to creating a large support base by means of introductory letters and a good introduction to the company location. With such introductions we notice that question marks disappear and people become aware of the goals and the return.
An eye for all aspects
Of course it makes sense that we have a lot of attention for the positive things that effective fleet management entails. There is as much as possible with Garage Plug technology and we would like to help you get everything out of it.
However, we are not running away from objections and doubts either. In fact, because we have been involved in this world for decades and have so many customers in all kinds of different sectors, we are happy to discuss this.
