Smart fleet management is revolutionizing the industry of companies who are sick of playing with spreadsheets that are endless and sudden breakdowns. It is working smarter rather than working harder and systems such as the Saphyroo one are showing how strong an attitude like this can be. Their platform draws all the data of their fleet, such as maintenance schedules, compliance checks, and driver reports, and puts it into a clear picture. It is to sell a toolbox of loose screws in a machine which just runs itself.
Every person, who had to control vehicles, is aware of how quickly things may get out of control. A single inspection passed over and in a few hours half the fleet is grounded with a cost of thousands and destroying delivery schedules. Smart systems also relieve the pressure by monitoring all services and remind one before things go wrong. The technology of Saphyroo even records defects automatically, transforming a hastily written note of a driver to a planned repair. It is not magic it is good design that knows how people really operate under the squeezer.
The difference is in communication what makes smart fleet management truly different. The drivers will be able to report issues through their phones rather than writing them on a greasy clipboard that will fade away by lunch. The mechanics are informed immediately, making the repairs faster, and the managers do not need to follow up on the repair. It is as though it were disorder becoming order–smoother, swifter, strangely pleasant. No one has to guess every day what is happening.
The actual genius lies, however, in information that is accumulated at the back. Each kilometre travelled, each litre of gasoline incinerated, each dollar, tells a story. With time, those stories will provide insight as to where the business can tighten or perhaps a specific vehicle is a guzzler or a road constantly blows tires. The system at Saphyroo interprets that and presents managers with the way to save money and time without having to obtain the degree of data science. It is pragmatic, Australian and designed to suit businesses that survive on time lines. The business of being smart with its fleet management is not about keeping the trucks on the road- but it is about being a step ahead of the next curve of the entire operation.
