Nigel Grainger brings together a related set of skills that all fleets require, to greater or lesser
degrees, but which may not have the staffing or the skills to fulfil those needs.
Bringing his wealth of experience in all areas of fleet management he offers a bespoke service through his company Fleet Risk Consultants, providing you with a cost effective fleet that complies fully with your 'duty of care' requirements.Looking after your drivers both in and out of their vehicles.
The trouble with vehicles is, that as they are being driven, you know less about where they are and what they are doing. If you are a business this can present you with a problem because you have both a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that the vehicles are being driven safely and legally.
Now the solution currently available giving you the way of knowing where your vehicles are is to use telematics, which is a black box in the vehicle which uploads data to a server that you can access via the internet. You can get some really useful reports from location and routes to speeds and engine idle times. But and it is a big BUT, they can be expensive and you can only fit this technology to a vehicle that you either own or lease, vehicles that are owned by your employees, otherwise known as grey fleet, presents a bit of a problem as they will get a little annoyed about you fitting a box of tricks to their pride and joy.
I have great news on that topic, as I have found a solution to track these grey fleet vehicles at low cost and with very good data. It can even enforce your mobile phone policy if you have one.
We are working with the guys who have developed this product to fine tune the reporting and the risk benefits, but if you have people driving in connection with your business then we can help YOU.
Give us a call to find out how we do it on 01623 675833.
