Drivetech launches fleet management package Drivetech Consult

At Drivetech, we’ve always been committed to helping businesses drive success – quite literally. With over 30 years of experience in driver training and risk management, we understand the unique fleet management challenges businesses of all sizes are facing.

 

Addressing future fleet challenges

We know too that this landscape can be complex, especially for those who are also tasked with remits ranging from office management to employee engagement, for whom fleet management is yet another addition to an already heavy role. As we hear from our customers, driver safety can be a challenging area to navigate.

While this product is perfect for dedicated fleet managers, it’s also a valuable resource for managers who are finding it challenging to effectively absorb fleet management into their roles due to time constraints or because of competing priorities.  

 

Why your fleet needs expert consultancy

Working in partnership with fleet managers and those with operational responsibilities for fleets has given us insight into the potential for overwhelm and stress, especially with the rapid evolution in vehicles, technologies, infrastructure and compliance regimes.

This in turn can lead to compromised decision-making. With limited time and expertise, managers may make critical decisions about their fleets without thorough analysis or consideration of long-term implications. This can result in inefficiencies and increased costs.

Fleets are also exposed to risk as the compliance landscape evolves and any errors can ultimately lead to financial penaltis and reputational damage. Managers with other primary roles may inadvertently overlook regulatory or driving guidance changes, such as updates to the Highway Code, the introduction of new clean air zones, local changes to speed limits and the introduction of low traffic neighbourhoods, potentially exposing their business to legal and financial risk.

Many companies are unaware too of employer responsibilities when it comes to looking after employees that drive their own vehicles for work, otherwise known as grey fleets.  The need to stay on top of legal and regulatory standards, such as valid insurance and vehicle inspections. Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines and legal consequences for the employer.
