The cost-of-living-crisis is being felt by almost everyone, reducing profit margins through the ever-rising overhead costs. For fleets fuel is more costly than ever, so ensuring vehicles are working smarter – not harder – is key. One way of achieving this is by implementing an intuitive route optimisation programme that both keeps customers informed and ensures that a fleet is being utilised as efficiently as possible.
Route optimisation considers a range of factors to decide the most efficient routes for your fleet, helping to reduce operating cost and improve driver productivity. By considering multiple factors, ranging from fleet size, traffic conditions, number of drop-offs and even customer requests, Trakm8’s software has proven capabilities in improving end-user delivery experience.
Route optimisation software helps fleets to make the most of a vehicle’s journey, intuitively plotting delivery points to ensure each fleet asset is being utilised in the best way. Not only can such software help businesses achieve significant savings on fuel expenditure, but it also maximises productivity, too. Route Optimisation software is proven to increase fleet productivity by up to 33% and cut fleet fuel bills by up to 20%.
By providing drivers with intuitively planned routines, fleet assets can be driven more efficiently – ensuring drivers can fulfil more orders, without increasing time on the road or fuel expenditure. What’s more, our route planning platform can be totally personalised by delivery businesses, with a function that enables them to send real-time updates to their customers on the progress of their order.
Trakm8’s route optimisation and planning software is fully customisable for fleet managers managing day to day fleet activity. The specialist software can be customised for single or multiple depots, any fleet size, and has an array of proof of delivery options.
This means that fleets can work smarter to find real savings on fuel costs and manage vehicle use more effectively. It also helps businesses achieve a greater ROI on their fleet spend and works to toward preventing unforeseen issues with more in-depth analytics and reporting on vehicle health, use and driver performance.
Nick Guise, Group Marketing Manager at Trakm8, said: “Optimisation of fleet operations can be revolutionary for fleets. Especially when working in busy periods, optimisation not only helps achieve game-changing savings on fuel costs, but it allows drivers to maximise their delivery routes and save time.
“At Trakm8 we have a wide range of experience developing solutions and helping fleets to implement cutting edge technologies and software, which are adaptable to fleets of a variety of sizes and provide intelligence and insights that reduce risk and boost efficiency across their operations.”
