A simple, connected approach to fleet operations

The key question arises: How do we integrate all this data effectively? Amidst a sea of software and platforms, Fleet Managers require cohesive data that informs decision-making and facilitates actionable steps to enhance safety, efficiency, compliance, environmental sustainability, and fleet security. This is where Fleetclear Connect steps in - a powerful solution developed with precisely this objective in mind.

One solution for every fleet

Gone are the days of managing disparate data from various technologies and platforms. Fleetclear Connect offers a simplified, user-friendly solution for managing vehicles and drivers. By combining hardware with GPS tracking, telematics, driver behaviour analysis, and advanced data processing techniques, Fleetclear Connect provides a comprehensive suite of tools for operational efficiency and compliance.

Andrew Mintram, Fleet Manager, NWLDC operates a fleet of 110 vehicles and introduced the Fleetclear Connect system slowly, starting with the waste collection fleet:

“Within weeks if not days the system had made an impact and it’s continued to make life so much easier.

“We have access to much more information, and we don’t need 3 or 4 logins to access it! We can track and monitor the fleet more effectively. For example, in the case of waste collections we have set up alert zones where there are weight limits, so we don’t overload any of the vehicles.We can even add hire vehicles onto the same system thanks to an OBD (On Board Diagnostic) tracking unit.”

Streamlining operations

Tom Ormerod, Contract Manager at Streetscene, Burnley Council, attests to the transformative impact of Fleetclear Connect on fleet operations:  

"All the information we need is now easily accessed on one system. We can track our entire fleet in real-time, receive operational alerts, scrutinise fuel efficiency, optimise routes, and monitor driver safety."‍

Tailored solutions

The Fleetclear Connect dashboard can be customised according to the specific needs of individual operations.  

Matthew Birkett, Service Manager at Leeds City Council, the largest refuse and recycling fleet in the UK outside of London, praises the system's versatility:

"Fleetclear Connect is a fantastic system. We have an online dashboard where we can easily view and extract the information we need. For example, because the footage is geo-locatable, we can identify any vehicles that have passed through a certain area and view all sets of coverage from each vehicle. We can identify who was there and what happened in seconds.”

Driver management

Efficient driving behaviour is pivotal for fleet performance and safety. Fleetclear Connect enables monitoring and analysis of driver behaviour, facilitating targeted training and performance management.

Andrew Mintram at North West Leicestershire District Council, underscores the importance of driver management tools in improving efficiency and safety.

“Previously we were unable to identify who was driving which vehicle, and that meant we couldn’t properly performance manage our driver force. Now we can incentivise and reward best driving practice as well as identify any specific training needs quickly. This helps us to mitigate vehicle damage costs and improve fuel efficiency as we can set up alerts for harsh braking, poor driving technique or speeding.

Enhancing safety and efficiency

Councils leverage Fleetclear Connect's capabilities to mitigate insurance claims and improve safety practices swiftly. The system's integration with HD camera systems provides real-time visibility, enabling prompt resolution of issues and ensuring vehicle and driver safety.

Matthew Birkett, Leeds City Council:

“We make about 500,000 collections each week. If there is a complaint or issue from a member of the public, or a crew member, we must deal with it immediately. It can’t take weeks or months to resolve.

“The Fleetclear RXLite camera system provides a HD 360° view around the vehicle so whatever the issue we can see exactly what happened and take necessary action.The image quality is good and with the Fleetclear Connect software we can protect our vehicles and drivers in real-time.”‍

Dedicated after-Care

Fleetclear's commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the sale. Swift resolution of product failures or complaints is a top priority.

Richard Smith, Commercial Waste Operations Manager at Devon Contract Waste, highlights Fleetclear's attentive after-care and collaborative approach.

“We lost faith with our previous supplier as things just weren’t being fixed quickly enough and it was difficult to get hold of someone to come on site. We’ve worked with Fleetclear already when we switched to their camera systems so we knew the high standard of service we could expect. They’ve held our hand every step of the way, both on the software and hardware side of things. We have their mobile numbers, and they are very quick to respond to any requests.”

Total connectivity

This powerful web-based solution provides total connectivity. By integrating vehicle technology, tracking, and telematics, operators are equipped with an in depth understanding of how their fleet is performing, by department, vehicle type and even down to individual drivers. Tracking alerts and potential incidents means that they can take immediate and appropriate action to enhance safety, streamline fleet operations and ensure compliance. Fleetclear Connect ensures that fleet managers can navigate the complexities of modern operations with ease.
