Getting a full picture of what your vehicles are doing throughout the day, what routes they are taking and which assets are used can offer in-depth details about **how efficiently you are running your fleet**. If you know where your vehicles, drivers and engineers are, you can** easily dispatch and route them** to customer sites. Being able to reference all of your vehicles and assets quickly, **avoids wasting time tracking down drivers, calling them for location updates and estimated time of arrivals (ETAs)**, or updating their current routes.

## How to OPTIMISE ON-TIME DELIVERY AND PRODUCTIVITY TO GET AHEAD?

Optimise your daily productivity and give your business a** competitive advantage every day**

## 1. OPTIMISE YOUR PEOPLE

- Is **work spread out evenly** between your employees to avoid overtime?
- Are some employees finishing shifts early while others need to work long shifts and claim overtime?
- **Identify under-staffed areas** and over-staffed areas by site and activity type
- Recalibrate the division of work to reduce overtime claims

## 2. Are standard working hours being followed?

- **Check for large discrepancie**s in shift lengths of employees doing similar jobs
- Can they be explained by the type of activity or working patterns?
- **Understand and minimise root causes**

## 3. REDUCE ACTIVITIES THAT BRING NO VALUE

- **Optimise your routes and scheduling** nationally to minimise drive time
- **Use tools that factor constraints** such as traffic, routes, drive time and expertise of people
- Many scheduling and route optimisation tools can help achieve this

## 4. REDUCE UNSCHEDULED STOPS

- **Define** where people are losing time during the working day
- Unscheduled stops are the largest contributor to this – meaning all locations that are neither at your organisation or customer locations
- **Track time** spent at “depot” locations or conducting admin tasks

## 5. IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

- **Set benchmarks** for the length of the most common jobs, and number of jobs to be completed in a day
- **Understand differences** between geography, activity and people
- Compliance can be tracked if needed

## 6. IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

### **Track performance**

- Understand your **key challenges and define KPIs**
- Create tools that are **easily accessible** to all employees to monitor KPIs
- Embed these tools into your business practices and ensure they are included in weekly and monthly **reporting sessions**
- **Train everyone**, from site managers to operations directors, on the value of the tool, and the best practices

## 7. REVIEW OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CYCLES

- Moving from paper to online tools **improves efficiency** across the organisation
- It provides **reliable, real-time data** for planning, resourcing and tracking performance
- Integrate your solutions, such as ERM, HR, scheduling, vehicle tracking and performance management.
