Thanks to the support of our clients and partners, we’ve reached some truly incredible milestones. These achievements are not only a reflection of the hard work and dedication of those we work with, but also indicative of a growing commitment across the fleet sector to prioritise risk management and safety more broadly.
Ensuring Safety and Compliance
A major highlight from 2024 was the completion of 6.8 million vehicle checks via the FleetCheck Driver app, marking a 31% increase from the previous year. On average, this meant that around 26,150 vehicle checks were carried out every single working day by our users! Mondays emerged as the busiest day for checks, underscoring how fleet operators are increasingly putting safety and compliance at the forefront of their weeks.
One of our clients, Tony Sharpe, Transport Manager at Optilan UK, shared how FleetCheck’s vehicle checking system has streamlined their processes: “Having the app in place has meant that all our drivers can complete their daily safety checks properly and with ease. We no longer have to chase our drivers for their checksheets because it all feeds automatically into FleetCheck.”
Keeping Vehicles Road-Ready
Road-ready vehicles remained a priority, with 132,000 PMIs and 256,000 MOTs and services logged and completed. In this way, a quarter of a million vehicles were kept compliant and safe, reducing the risk of unexpected Vehicle Off Road (VOR) issues.
Matthew Neale, Group Fleet Manager at Platform Housing Group, noted the impact on his fleet’s operations: “We can now manage vehicle allocations efficiently, manage fines, run reports, pool vehicle management, fuel, RFL, MOT, and SMR data. My anxiety levels have reduced, and confidence in data accuracy has increased!"
Enhancing Fleet Visibility
A remarkable 26.8 billion miles were logged in 2024 – equivalent to travelling to the sun and back 144 times – alongside 19 million litres of fuel managed.
The ability to access real-time fleet data in this way has been proven to drive unexpected value, an example of which comes from one of our clients. In using FleetCheck’s fuel analysis tools, they uncovered an employee who had been using the company fuel card to fuel their own vehicle – and those of their eight drug running accomplices! This discovery exposed over £80,000 in unauthorised fuel expenses. The ability to track and analyse fuel data helped prevent further financial loss, going to show – you never know what surprises are hiding in your fleet!
Supporting Drivers
353,000 defects were rectified in 2024, thanks to FleetCheck’s instant alerts and actionable insights. Additionally, 132,000 driver licences were automatically checked – up 15% from the previous year – eliminating time-consuming paper-chasing.
Chris Ricketts, Fleet Manager at Land Sheriffs, explained the value of FleetCheck’s LicenceAssured: “FleetCheck’s automated licence-checking service displays accurate results almost immediately and feeds them into the system for a centralised view. We can be assured that our drivers are safe on the road; and with two-factor authentication, it helps keep us GDPR compliant.”
Building New and Long-Lasting Partnerships
Finally, we feel incredibly grateful to have maintained our growth trajectory of recent years, with 495 new clients joining us in 2024 – welcome to the FleetCheck family! Alongside this, it’s been especially rewarding to see our long-term customer retention figures rise – a testament to the trust our customers place in us. 365 clients celebrated 5 years with us, a 141% increase from 2023. This growth was further highlighted by the 23 clients who marked a decade of shared success with us, and the 13 clients who reached an impressive 15 years of partnership.
