Effective fleet management solutions require good fleet management software. Time to bring Fleetinsight on board!

Motex is an Automotive Distributor supplying top quality motor components, lubricants, tools and garage equipment to dealers in the Essex & East London areas. With a fleet size of nearly 50 vehicles spread across 5 branches, the company recognised that in order to maximise the productivity and efficiency of every vehicle, it was crucial for Managers to have access to a range of fleet management solutions which would enable them to effectively monitor movements of the entire Motex fleet on a minute by minute basis.

The Motex group have been using Fleetinsight fleet management solutions since 2010, and in November 2013 the company completed its migration to Fleetinsight’s web based system with full functionality.

Since then, haven’t looked back.

Director Ian James says “Fleetinsight revolutionised the way we run our business, giving our branch managers the information they need to hit their delivery targets and keep their customers happy”.

At Branch level, Fleetinsight is displayed via wall screens which relay the movements of the entire Motex fleet in real time. Branch managers have an overview of the distribution network, and this enables them to synchronise productivity, allocate all deliveries, create schedules and advise customers on driver ETA’s.

Branch managers use reports on route efficiency and driver performance modules which are available in the Fleet management system. These to help managers to lower fuel bills as each branch is responsible for its own P&L. Should the need arise, to aid dispute resolution, Motex also use Fleetinsight’s Route Replay function to view exact routes taken by vehicles and provide proof of service to customers. Route Replay tracks late starts and early finishers, identifies long stop overs and excessive

engine idling, all help to establish a picture of who’s being productive or unproductive during the day.

Senior Managers in the company’s head office adopted Fleetinsight’s fleet management software because of its comprehensive reporting system which helps them to monitor and manage the entire fleet.

Scheduled reports detail movements such as out of hours activity, and calculate the number of visits to each customer. Reports also give access to metrics on vehicle utilisation allowing for more effective Branch KPI analysis.

Companies like Motex who rely on fleet vehicles on a daily basis can be susceptible to increases in fuel costs and vulnerable to excessive fuel consumption through careless driving. Before implementing the Fleetinsight system, Motex where operating at 70% of optimum fuel efficiency, effectively using 30% more mileage than necessary.

Fleetinsight’s range of fleet management solutions have had a direct effect on lowering Motex’s operating expenses. With increased productivity since the adoption of Fleetinsight’s Fleet management software.

Ian James concludes “Using Fleetinsight has led to significant fuel savings through development of more efficient driving techniques and more effective allocation of the delivery jobs. The Route Efficiency feature allows us to monitor the routes our drivers choose and we have now brought all our drivers up to over 90% efficiency rating as a result of implementing Fleetinsight”.
