Increase Fleet Productivity

Once you know which driver to assign to a service, you will want to do it in a way that is effective, error-free, and traceable. You need a dispatching solution.

Let’s say you’ve identified the correct driver for a new job. Now, you need to assign the task job quickly and clearly and track the driver’s progress from start to finish. With the right system, you can send all the necessary job details directly to the driver’s mobile device, instantly and without room for miscommunication. From that moment on, each task step is monitored automatically, from departure to completion, giving you complete visibility over execution.

Drivers will use an onboard tablet or the Driver app to follow through on tasks, informing the office of each stage. Navigation and customizable forms also help you receive all the field data you need, including proof of delivery.

This reduces the probability of human error and allows your drivers to complete more jobs with less stress – and better manage their time.

Additionally, you will automatically document every step of the way, collecting forms from the field at each milestone: proof of delivery, refused jobs, refueling, waiting, etc.

For companies looking for a simpler approach, there’s also the option of sending messages and destinations directly to the vehicle’s onboard navigation system. This more basic setup provides a practical and efficient way to dispatch jobs and guide drivers to their following locations.

To stay compliant and protect your drivers’ well-being, it’s essential to respect legal and recommended driving time limits, whether it’s continuous driving time, daily driving limits, or weekly maximums.

Frotcom gives you real-time visibility over each driver’s remaining driving time, helping you prevent violations and fines. With the Electronic Logbook, available on the Driver app, drivers can automatically register driving and resting times in compliance with EU and other regulations, eliminating the need for manual records and ensuring accurate, auditable logs for every driver.

You can also locate the nearest available drivers who can take on new jobs within legal driving time limits, avoiding last-minute changes, reducing idle time, and preventing driver fatigue.

This intelligent combination of monitoring and planning allows you to optimize operations while keeping your drivers safe and well-rested, ensuring compliance and timely service delivery.

Unplanned vehicle downtimes can disrupt your operations, compromise scheduled services, and lead to reduced productivity. While some vehicle downtimes might only affect a single delivery or job, others can leave you short of a vehicle for days, or even weeks.

To minimize the risk of vehicle downtime:

• Implement a proactive maintenance plan. Ensure that all preventive maintenance tasks are carried out according to the manufacturer's guidelines, and never miss a service with Frotcom’s automatic alerts.
• Monitor technical data in real time. Use CANBus data and vehicle diagnostics to detect early signs of service requirements or malfunction, helping you act before issues escalate.
• Track and manage your maintenance history. With a centralized digital log of all past and upcoming maintenance tasks, you avoid redundant repairs and ensure full compliance.
• Encourage better driving behavior. Identify and correct habits that contribute to wear and tear, such as harsh braking, speeding, or over-revving.

By combining proactive maintenance with smart driving behavior monitoring and use Frotcom’s data to make informed decisions, you’ll reduce fuel consumption, extend vehicle lifespan, and avoid costly disruptions to your operations.
