It’s no secret that fleet managers are pulled in a lot of different directions. From onboarding and training fleet drivers to maintaining detailed service records and inspections, fleet managers have various tasks to cover every day. Today, we want to share three simple ways fleet managers can streamline their workday, optimize their workforce, and increase operations. 

1. Automate Onboarding and On-the-Job Training 

Developing quality drivers is an essential part of a fleet manager’s job, but it takes a significant amount of time and energy. Instead of pouring energy into in-person training and training activities, increase productivity and efficiency by automating onboarding and training processes. Automated onboarding and training allow you, fleet managers, to onboard new hires, bridge skills gaps, and upskill entire teams without ever having to be present. Thus, by using a laptop or smart device, drivers can complete their onboarding or training from anywhere at any time, streamlining their workday and optimizing your team.  

2. Eliminate Manual Reporting 

Manual reporting can be time-consuming and highly inaccurate. When things aren’t done correctly, the problem is usually human error, not the report. You need a way to get to the bottom of the issue and resolve it because maintaining detailed vehicle servicing and inspection records is a crucial aspect of your job. It’s time to break free from a life of bad manual reporting and embrace automated reporting. With automated reporting, some companies saved over 300 person-hours per month, and that’s on top of the overall improved efficiency and reduced worker frustration. Eliminate manual reporting tasks, and instead, increase your first-time fix rate, gain visibility of your team, and drive your fleet’s profitability through the help of automated reporting.  

3. Offer In-The-Moment Assistance 

Where do front-line employees turn when they are stumped in the middle of a process? Often, it’s Google or YouTube, meaning investments in great training are wasted and workers get the wrong advice. It’s time to equip your team with in-the-moment assistance such as step logic guides, expert connections, and the right videos. With step logic, technicians can be guided through yes/no sequences to fix specific problems based on what conditions they see. Pre-selected videos can be offered for easy access to proper solutions. And, additionally, designating experts for specific issues, can take the guesswork out of who to contact for what, so your employees can reach the right person at the right time when they need it the most.
