Mobile technology is regularly being used for mileage claims, expenses and driver inspections
Local authorities are increasing looking at paperless methods of enforcing their fleet policies as they aim to reduce the amount of resource devoted to administration, reports Chevin Fleet Solutions.
These organisations often place an extremely high level of importance on compliance but current paper-based processes are often slow, labour-intensive, costly and difficult to audit, said sales director David Gladding.
The news comes with an overgrowing desire for fleets to move away from paper and the main solution we are seeing is mobile technology, which provides simple, paperless data capture.
“Using fleet software on a mobile device – generally any Android or Apple phone – means that you have an auditable method of ensuring, for example, that only eligible drivers are getting behind the wheel of certain of vehicles, or that an employee using their own car on business can provide full and current licence and insurance details.
“Within corporate cultures that see compliance as their number one priority, using the technology in this way has obvious appeal.” Continued Mr Gladding
Other common processes where mobile technology was regularly being used included mileage claims, expenses and driver inspections – but one of the key attractions was the inherent flexibility available.
It has taken a little time for the market to fully understand the potential that mobile telematics products offer but there is growing interest in using it to carry out all kinds of fleet processes.
