Making Fleet Condition Reporting Easier than Ever
WORDS BY INTERLEASING
Discovering unreported damage at the end of your lease period can be an unwelcome – and costly – surprise . For 42 % of fleet managers focused on reducing running costs and increasing business efficiency 1 , mitigating unexpected costs is critical to protecting their bottom line .
To take control over end-of-lease impacts and meet organisational goals , more and more fleet managers are looking to technology for answers . In 2022 , 53 % of fleets with 250 + vehicles were already using software to automate their fleet operations and management 2 . But it ’ s not only organisations with large fleets that can benefit from technology ’ s power to improve efficiencies and help save on costs .
Power up your fleet management
A lack of regular checks and drivers not taking responsibility for day-to-day care and maintenance are common causes for unreasonable wear and tear . By embedding scheduled inspections and focusing on building a self-reporting culture , you can eliminate unwanted end-of-lease surprises and reduce costs . Because when drivers are clear on their responsibilities , and have the tools that make self-reporting easy , they are more likely to report any damage or concerns with fleet vehicles .
Interleasing ’ s Fleet Inspect is a digital solution that puts real-time condition reporting at your fingertips – helping you build a self-report culture and delivering increased visibility across your fleet . It ’ s designed for fleets of any size and is a powerful tool for all types of vehicle checks , from pool vehicles and incidents to periodic and annual inspections . With many organisations motor vehicle policies having strict rules around how to care for vehicles , including reporting and repairing damage immediately , Fleet Inspect helps drivers meet the expectations set out in your policy .
Fleet Inspect ’ s intuitive app requires no training and empowers drivers to be proactive and self-report as needed . All they need to do is open the app on their phone and complete a simple step-by-step inspection by taking photos that are automatically time and date stamped .
