    In the current time for fleet managers, managing limited resources is a significant problem; they must also track vehicles, execute routine maintenance, evaluate efficiency, and encourage safe driving practices.

    The constant switching between tasks might be difficult for fleet managers with limited resources. 

    • Vehicles may go without necessary maintenance, 
    • Some drivers may not get the proper instruction, and 
    • A shortage of trained technicians could occur. 

    As these worries compound, problems inevitably arise, increasing the long-term costs to an already overworked department.

    Investing in fleet tracking and management technologies often makes financial sense. You and your fleet can benefit from software and hardware by keeping tabs on multiple fleets, tracking maintenance needs and costs, providing real-time feedback to drivers, and reducing potential risks and lawsuits.

    How to Control Operational Costs With the Help Of Fleet Management Systems?

    Here’s how fleet tracking and management software could be helpful for publicly funded organizations that are watching their spending.

    1) Cameras and In-Cab Alerts Improve Driving

    Only a DashCam system can monitor driving behavior from the office. Sensors, AI-powered cameras, in-built teaching systems, instant notifications, and driver scorecards help keep tabs on and enhance safe driving habits.

    DashCam installed in modern fleet vehicles has significantly enhanced driver behavior and reduced unsafe and counterproductive driving habits. High-definition cameras equipped with AI technology can alert drivers to potentially dangerous situations like distractions and detours.

    Sensors in the vehicle can send real-time in-cab notifications if the driver is dozing off, texting, smoking, drifting lanes, getting too close to another vehicle, going too fast, or applying too much brake force. While recording and sorting event clips into a web portal, the alerts serve as a real-time coach. Executives can rate clips, annotate them, and use them for training purposes.

    You may evaluate your agency’s responsibility and make the right choices with the help of real-time video recordings. Fraudulent insurance claims can be combated with cameras and tracking systems. The footage can be used as proof that the driver was not at fault in a court of law, thereby protecting your company from baseless claims.

    Keeping track of your drivers’ performance with scorecards lets, you see who’s performing well and who needs more help. That way, you can prioritize helping those who need it and recognize successful drivers simultaneously. When drivers’ skills are enhanced, vehicles have less wear and tear, improved fuel economy, and less danger of legal trouble.

    2) Boost Efficiency and Optimize Working Hours with Fleet Tracking

    You can keep tabs on your fleet with advanced fleet tracking software that allow you to quickly and easily locate any vehicle or equipment. Spending time looking for trucks or field assets can be recouped with the help of fleet tracking, which also helps ensure that the equipment is being used effectively. Taking action here and now can help you get back on track more quickly.

    The fleet manager may access information on the vehicle’s location, engine status, speed, and estimated arrival time in one convenient location with the help of a fleet tracking system. Scheduling and communication between drivers are simplified by dispatching and messaging systems. With real-time tracking, expected wait times or arrival times can be more accurate.

    You can help reduce the need for extra work hours by improving coordination and timekeeping. As a result, you can reallocate some of your funds to more pressing needs, preferential additions, or to avoid making painful cuts.

    3) Scheduled Alerts for Smooth Fleet Maintenance

    A dead battery could ruin a productive day; automated service reminders, comprehensive service records, and electronic vehicle inspections can help managers to keep track of your fleet’s maintenance schedule.

    Scheduled maintenance will help the fleet run smoothly and save time in the garage. Planned and budgeted-for repairs can lessen the likelihood of requiring extra pay. Vehicles can only function properly with regular maintenance.

    To ensure trucks are checked out properly before leaving the lot, use DVIRs (digital driver vehicle inspection reports). Reports with due dates help avoid skimming. If a driver notices a problem with their vehicle, they can record their thoughts and take pictures of the issue. With that information in hand, the fleet manager and the shop’s mechanics can get ready to bring the vehicle in for repairs, ensuring that the necessary parts are on hand and that the repair time is scheduled without affecting other projects.

    4) Save Time on Troubleshooting, Paperwork, and Office Operations

    It is simple to monitor vehicles, personnel, and paperwork using a central web getaway. Having everything tracked in a single, intuitive software program frees you to concentrate on running the fleet rather than on paperwork.

    The best fleet tracking and management software apps have everything in one place, accessible from a desktop computer or a mobile device. Managers can collect vital files, signatures, and paperwork to better organize their unique information needs or even build specialized forms.

    Managers can integrate the fuel card system into an efficient fleet management system. Tracking gas purchases is simplified when data on fuel and location are stored in the same place. If they didn’t have to prepare reports by hand, they could save up a lot of time they could typically spend on mundane administrative tasks.

    Your fleet company and its staff can seek help with technological issues anytime, not just during regular business hours. Spending less time researching means more time spent working on important departmental initiatives.

    Conclusion

    An ideal fleet management system will make your life easier. It removes the need for educated guesswork, streamlines many everyday tasks, and equips you with as much data as possible to make quick judgments as problems arise.

    Fleet management software studies may prioritize expenses based on industry and fleet size. A self-insured, more extensive fleet may focus on claims costs, while a smaller fleet may prioritize fuel cost reduction measures.

    You need a flexible fleet management solution if you’re in it for the long term. Find a solution that you can customize to address your top business issues.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
