3 ways to reduce costs with fleet tracking
by Fiona Taylor
Fleet tracking has a number of benefits for businesses, the main one being you can cut your costs. Read on to find out more.
How can fleet tracking help your business cut costs? Here we tell you how.
Cut out complaints
Firstly stop invoicing disputes and errors by making the best use of your fleet tracking. If you offer an emergency response then the incident can be long gone by the time is gets to invoicing. This means that it is important to get the facts right. Using the Satmo fleet tracking solution means this can be done easily. Why not use the tracking reports as electronic job sheets? They can be emailed across to customers who can verify drivers’ time on site and job duration. You can also use the system to verify each time a vehicle and member of staff have been on site each month. Use the customer visit report to send to your customer to show exactly when you have been on site.
Need to get someone to a new job? Use the Satmo system to see who is the nearest driver, and see exactly how long it will take them to get to the customer. Therefore manage expectations, and cut complaints.
Keep up to date records for HMRC
It is crucial that your business records are up to date for the tax man, especially so if you have a fleet of vehicles. It is important that you keep on top of private mileage. You must declare how and when your vehicles are used to HMRC. Potentially you can receive a fine if the vans are used privately and you have no record of it. See our other blog posts about the importance of knowing if your van is used privately. Blog 1, blog 2, blog 3.
Drive safely but efficiently
You have a duty of care to make sure that your drivers are safe, and are not endangering themselves or other members of the public. Take the harsh accelerating and harsh braking reports to feed back incidents with your drivers in a positive manner.
A careful driver will also be portraying your brand in a positive way.
