The key to maximum fleet productivity

Fleet management has become a must-have for construction companies. (Image source: Adobe Stock)

The introduction of innovative, intelligent software is enabling managers to more effectively coordinate their construction fleets, optimising the use of assets to save time and money

Keeping equipment working harmoniously and operating efficiently to meet project targets has always been a crucial component of the construction industry, with leaders tasked with ensuring they are getting the greatest output of their fleet at the lowest cost. This challenge is ever-evolving, compounded in recent years with the greater need to maximise personnel safety while also minimising climate impact.

It is within this environment that fleet management software has quickly become an indispensable tool for those running construction sites. With information around vehicle performance traditionally stored and interpreted physically, virtual platforms are now readily available as a way to manage the complexities of construction projects. With vehicles now easily equipped with telematics devices such as GPS, data points around real-time location, driving behaviour, vehicle health and beyond, are available in vast amounts, and fleet management software solutions serve to compile this information in a single platform and display it digestibly. A range of benefits can be unlocked by optimising the integration of the platform, including improved vehicle efficiency by assisting drivers and planning effective routes; monitored and lowered CO2 emissions; up-to-date maintenance data to limit breakdowns and save on costs; enhanced safety by discouraging reckless drivers and providing real-time alerts; and much more.
