Fleet Check is a cloud based software database system that can not only make your life a lot easier if you own or are responsible for any vehicle fleet but it could save you a small fortune.
Fleet operators of all sizes and vehicle types have a responsibility to protect their drivers and the environment by law and corporate manslaughter legislation demands that records and kept and contingency plans such as preventative maintenance inspections are in place and regularly audited.
Simple records can and are often kept on spreadsheets or paper systems which while adequate will not prevent disasters such as the following scenarios;
- Your employee gives you a copy of their driving licence for the records but subsequently gains nine points for offences that you are unaware of. Any accidents that this person has could come back on you and if serious enough could end you up in prison. FleetCheck would prevent this by automatically flagging up the driving offenses on the system as they occurred so you are always aware and compliant.
- One of your vehicles has been serviced within its regular schedule and the garage has placed an advisory brake pad replacement in 5000 miles. You file the invoice and forget about it and at 6000 miles the vehicle has brake failure and kills someone. The subsequent enquiry finds the advisory note on the invoice and you get at the very least a heavy fine. FleetCheck again would have automatically alerted you before the 5000* miles to remind you to change the pads.
* Mileage information taken from TomTom Link300 unit in vehicle and using the API feed to FleetCheck system software.
FleetCheck can be operated on its own without connection to the TomTom telematics system and all the time based alerts such as road-tax, insurance, servicing etc will keep you safe and legal but when connected to the TomTom fleet management system all mileage based alerts such as cam belt & travel related warnings are then available.
Because this information is available to you anywhere in the world by simply logging in to your password protected browser you can have access to documentation like copy drivers licences or insurance cover notes etc by using the optional storage facility that is offered by FleetCheck.
Small fleet owners will enjoy all the benefits that large companies have with their own fleet management team at a fraction of the cost and large fleet owners can streamline their systems and save precious time using the FleetCheck system.
Complicated legal requirements to keep a company safe from possible corporate manslaughter claims extends beyond the commercial fleet owner operator. Grey fleet management is for companies that may run privately owned vehicles used for business travel, and must be subject to the same road safety guidelines adopted by an organisation for its company vehicles. If a vehicle is used on business, the organisation has a legal duty of care towards the driver, and therefore the vehicle, regardless of ownership. ‘Grey FleetCheck’ is your solution to this issue. Here you can record and monitor all of the information you need to ensure you are properly managing your grey fleet. Grey FleetCheck will set you firmly on the right track towards grey fleet compliance.
The most amazing thing about this fantastic software is the cost. A small fleet of ten vehicles only costs from £39.00 per month for the whole fleet. The initial setting up and inputting of all the vehicle and driver information etc is done by FleetCheck at a small one off cost then you just sit back and wait for the alerts to be emailed or texted to you or simply log on and check the easy traffic lights (green-amber-red) indicators on the home page to see if there are any potential issues that might need your attention.
