Driveline Looks At What SME Businesses Need To Know About Their Vehicles

Driveline’s Paul Tobin looks at what SME business owners need to know about their vehicles and recommends that they ask themselves the following questions.

“If one of your drivers lost their license over the weekend and still turned up to work on Monday, how would you know?”

“How often are the brake lights and tyres on your vehicles checked?”

“Are you sure all of your vehicles are OSH compliant all of the time?”

“How much do each of your vehicles cost your business?”

“Which vehicle should be replaced first?”

For those who are still trying to organise their vehicles on a spreadsheet, they actually won’t know the answers to any of these questions so that with the new Health & Safety legislation already in effect, many businesses need to find a more effective way to manage their vehicles.

Driveline have developed the Driveline Fleet Management system to provide insights into usage, cost analysis and the OSH status of each vehicle. It has all the features to be expected of a top-of- the-line fleet management system, including instant reporting, direct updates from NZTA and drivers’ license monitoring.

Included with the system is a handy Walk-Around Smartphone App which prompts drivers to complete a five minute vehicle check, ensuring that basic things like tyres, wipers, brake lights and oil are sighted and signed off by the driver on a regular basis.

The Driveline team believe it’s the easiest and most affordable online fleet management solution on the market with a monthly subscription starting at just $9 per vehicle. Best of all they’ll even set it up so it works right from day one and they will provide ongoing support.
