The importance of mobile apps in fleets

The speed that we can communicate within fleets is often key to boosting operational performance. Time taken completing office based admin is time spent away from carrying out other tasks. Mobile app technology is closing this gap, freeing up time taken to complete ‘paperwork’, which improves efficiency and productivity.

Fleet management software apps have evolved from a list of contact numbers and basic inspection sheets. We are now seeing more advanced apps that can automate the deployment of drivers and mobile workforce related responsibilities such as Chevin’s FleetWave Forms and The Workshop Hub.

These apps can take administrative tasks out of the office and onto the shop floor or in the field, enabling on the spot completion. Becoming, in effect, a personal management tool, such apps can track tasks, schedule jobs, generate time sheets and complete forms, allowing more time to carry out other, ‘hands-on’ tasks.

Mobile apps are easy to deploy across the business, allowing access to job-specific information in a cost-effective manner. They can streamline business processes and allow staff to make decisions based on information available at their fingertips, even in remote locations.

Such apps should be an essential part of any fleet management tool kit.
