Could Fleet Safety Be as Simple as a Touch of a Button ?
WORDS BY ORIX AUSTRALIA
Keeping your fleet in good working order all year round helps keep your drivers safe , your vehicles on-the-road and your business running . No surprises there , however , what may surprise you is that technological advancements are giving fleet managers more control in managing vehicle and driver safety issues than ever before .
Traditionally , fleet maintenance programs have been reactive and preventive with vehicle parts and components regularly serviced to increase longevity and replaced as they fail or come close to end of life .
Now fleet management operators , like ORIX Australia , can access more real-time maintenance and servicing data , which fleet managers can view at fleet and individual vehicle levels .
“ Our
ORIX OneView system gives fleet managers enhanced capability to improve their safety program . Our dashboards make it quick and easy to identify vehicles overdue for maintenance and inspections ,” says ORIX National Manager Product Management , Tony Hutton .
This may also enhance a fleet ’ s safety outcomes . When a vehicle goes in for a service , the workshop ensures everything on the vehicle is thoroughly checked . It also means vehicles are up to date when it comes to safety recalls .
Beyond the day-to-day , fleet managers can use dashboard analytics to inform strategic management of their fleets . With a click of a mouse , real-time dashboards like ORIX OneView allow fleet operators to easily isolate vehicle information for export and further analysis . This helps them make better decisions about how to manage vehicles and schedule services so the entire fleet is properly maintained .
The system also automatically reminds drivers who are due to book their vehicle for servicing ,
