500-plus businesses join online library offering fleet independent advice

MORE than 500 businesses have subscribed to FleetCheck’s online library, FleetInsights, designed to offer independent guidance on current fleet challenges.

Launched in January by the fleet management software specialist, FleetInsights is backed by National Highways’ Driving for Better Business project.

Among the most popular topics so far have been strategic fuel efficiency for fleets, proactive van maintenance and best practice for work related vehicle incidents.

Recently added features include how to manage vehicle off road issues, why daily walkaround inspections are vital to fleet operations and strategic insights into total cost of ownership.

Peter Golding, FleetCheck CEO, said the initial strength of response to the project showed the demand for advice that existed among fleets.

“In recent years, fleet managers have been faced with a wide range of pressures, from electrification to high levels of downtime and, most recently, rapidly rising fuel costs. There are many people involved in operating fleets of all sizes looking for information and guidance enabling them to formulate strategies that meet these challenges. With FleetInsights, we are helping to meet that demand.”

“While it’s pleasing that so many people have signed up – both from within and outside our software user base – it’s also no surprise. We were aware this need existed and expect to see more people come on board as our library of features grows.”

He added that FleetCheck was keen to hear suggestions from fleets about topics that should be added to FleetInsights.

Driving for Better Business is a government-backed programme to help employers in both the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.
