Ten Reasons to Implement a Mobile Fleet Management App

Fleet management consists of many moving parts in many different locations. Mobile fleet management apps are a critical operational tool that drive enormous process efficiencies and time savings. Coordinating daily operations consistently is crucial to great customer service, profitability and safety. Fleet management software and mobile applications designed specifically for your industry make these tasks more manageable and efficient.

Fleet owners that do not embrace mobile technology are at a significant competitive disadvantage.

Here are ten reasons to implement a mobile fleet management app at your company:

1. More Accurate Information

• Eliminate paper-based processes that are filled with issues from delays in receiving information, to missing, incomplete information or the inconsistency in the data captured
• Enter data only once, increasing accuracy and the efficiency of your personnel

2. Improve Compliance

• Create a digital trail and ensure compliance targets are met on every job, every time, by every worker
• Respond immediately to customers or authorities with time-stamped digital information

3. Invoice Quickly and Accurately

• Labor time and unit usage data is reported remotely making the required billing data available back at the office for same day billing
• Easily verify information needed for invoicing

4. Managed Costs

• Save money on clerical staff by eliminating duplicate data entry
• Reduce costs by eliminating most paper-based processes

5. Decrease Liability

• Obtain electronic signatures that approve terms and conditions of work prior to the start of a job. In the event of an accident this electronic record has been proven to decrease your liability
• Potential to save on insurance premiums due to an electronic audit trail

6. Better Communication

• Stay connected while out of the office
• Understand real-time equipment availability by viewing unit schedules from anywhere
• Maintenance personnel can create purchase orders from the shop that are sent directly to the service manager for approval

7. Improved Service Quality

• Stop contributing to your customers paper-based challenges by sending electronic documents related to all their jobs
• Quote customers more quickly while out in the field

8. Easy Access to Data

• Captured data can be easily accessed by whoever in the business needs it, when they need it
• Stop searching through file cabinets for billing or job information

9. Reliable Business Intelligence

• Data collected in a digital format is more accurate and reliable
• Search, extract and analyze information more quickly

10. Improve Clerical Efficiency

• More accurate data at your fingertips allows you to accelerate your billing cycle
• Forecast more confidently as key information is readily available

With mobile fleet management apps, you can take a sales call, quote and dispatch a job, report real-time job status, track checklists, receive electronic signatures, report labor time and bill a customer in the same day or the next day.
