Removing the Worry from Fleet Management

 

Before FleetCheck, Cemplas Waterproofing & Concrete Repairs Ltd relied on a limited system and multiple spreadsheets to manage fleet tasks, making it time-consuming and challenging to access key information. As Office Manager, Jo Burton found herself juggling fleet management, alongside HR, training, and other responsibilities. Managing a very high workload, she was introduced to FleetCheck and quickly realised it could streamline operations and enhance driver compliance by centralising data and automating processes. With features like real-time alerts and LicenceAssured, she had more time to focus on other priorities with greater confidence and efficiency.

Why FleetCheck?

Outside of their desire for simplicity and efficiency, it was our modern interface and practical features such as the FleetCheck Driver Walkaround App, that assured them that FleetCheck was the right solution for their needs.

My initial reaction was no – It’s something new to learn, and I’ve got to input all this information. But it wasn’t until I had the demo that I thought, actually, this is great. I had been struggling for so long, I didn’t realise there was something out there that could help me

The Challenge

Moving Beyond Paper-Based Fleet Management

Paper-Based Practices and Multiple Systems

Their system handled basic tasks like recording MOT and service dates but couldn’t manage other critical aspects of fleet management. This limitation forced reliance on paper-based methods, resulting in fragmented data, higher workloads, and added stress.

Manual, Time-Consuming Processes

Tasks such as processing fuel invoices, tracking monthly mileage, managing driver permissions, and tracking service schedules were handled manually. This made these processes labour-intensive, and with vital information scattered across multiple systems, it became difficult to access information quickly when needed.

Managing Compliance

Their fragmented approach to fleet management highlighted the need to streamline and simplify compliance. Jo Burton began looking for ways to ensure their fleet information was better organised, as she constantly feared important dates, services, or safety checks would go overlooked.

Life before FleetCheck was complicated. If I wanted to find information quickly, I’d have to physically search through spreadsheets stored in various locations – everything was everywhere. Managing the fleet was consuming more of my time, and I was constantly worried I might miss something

The Solution

A Modern System to Centralise Fleet Data and Improve Visibility

FleetCheck Essential has allowed Cemplas Waterproofing & Concrete Repairs Ltd to store key information, dates, and deadlines in one place, and access real-time updates with ease.

They also adopted FleetCheck LicenceAssured to streamline licence checking for their 75 drivers. Automated checks, alerts, and a comprehensive reporting dashboard have helped them maintain compliance effortlessly and reduce the manual back and forth with drivers.

Nothing was good about the system before. If I wanted to find information quickly, I’d have to go ‘what spreadsheet is that on?’ I needed something to condense it all. Now, I just enter the vehicle reg, or the name, and I can find out everything I need to know.

FleetCheck LicenceAssured has also been a game-changer. I simply enter the driver names, and instantly, an email is sent notifying them. It’s been amazing.

The Impact

Simplified, Smarter, and More Consistent Fleet Management

I love it. I loved it last week. I loved it last month. I loved it last year... You want clarity, you want examples? Get this system.

Support That Reduces Stress

FleetCheck’s dedicated support team provide peace of mind and alleviate compliance fears. Unlike before, when fleet management relied on isolated spreadsheets, they now has access to expert support when needed.

With my spreadsheets, it was just me. Now, I’ve always got someone to help me out if I have problems. It’s good to have that backup. I never get the impression FleetCheck doesn’t have time for me. I’m more relaxed about fleet, and don’t have the anxiety of missing an important date.

Time Savings That Add Up

Automating manual processes like fuel invoice tracking saves hours each week. By eliminating the need for paper chasing, they have freed up time to focus on other responsibilities, such as driver training, and accreditations.

I don’t have to manually input invoices into a spreadsheet anyone – it’s all done in the background with FleetCheck. That used to take at least an hour each week. That’s an hour I’ve got back. Now, I can focus on other parts of my job.

Centralised Data, Accessible Anytime

With fleet data consolidated in one central platform, information retrieval has become seamless. Team members can directly access what they need, without relying on others to relay the information to them. This has provided greater control and visibility over their fleet operations, improving efficiency and autonomy.

My colleague who looks after the CO2 monitoring of our vehicles would ask me for the driver’s mileage each month. With FleetCheck, my colleague can log in and find that mileage data herself, without me needed to track down bits for her.

Every Vehicle With the Same Attention and Care

FleetCheck has enabled them to maintain consistent and accurate fleet management processes. All vehicles receive the same level of care and attention, ensuring a more equitable and balanced operation.

Before FleetCheck, the main fleet was my priority. Now we've incorporated all vehicles – including our grey fleet – so each vehicle gets treated with the same care, because it's so easy.”
