Dubbed e-fleet mobile, the app allow fleet drivers to more easily access key support services, update business and private mileage and electronically complete vehicle inspection reports.

It also provides fleet managers with a number of key fleet management benefits, including improved mileage management and recording, closer control over vehicle servicing and the meeting of duty of care requirements.

The new web app is fully compatible with the latest iPhone, Android and Blackberry hand-held devices and integrates seamlessly with Fleet Alliance’s online e-fleet fleet management system.

The e-fleet mobile app is registration number specific and provides drivers with all the main contact numbers and access points for their individual car, covering a number of key support services including tyres, automotive glass, servicing, maintenance and breakdown and recovery.

Dedicated suppliers of these services can be contacted at the push of a button and drivers are also able to book their next service directly through the app with nominated dealerships and independent garages.

Drivers update their mileage records through the app, which feeds directly into the e-fleet fleet management system.

To help with duty of care, drivers can also access an electronic vehicle condition report, which allows them, at regular, pre-determined intervals, to confirm the condition of their vehicles in vital areas such as fluid levels, tyre tread depths, the condition of lights and auto-glass and that regular servicing is taking place in line with manufacturer guidelines. 

Martin Brown, managing director of Fleet Alliance, commented: ‘Our new e-fleet mobile web app makes use of the latest smart phone technology to provide company car and business drivers with enhanced functionality and remote access to the key services they need to ensure their vehicles continue to operate effectively.

‘This allows them to access a variety of support services at the touch of a button, update mileage records remotely and electronically and confirm they are compliant with duty of care requirements.

‘This development in turn helps the fleet manager run the fleet more effectively than before in a number of key business driver contact areas through the more effective recording of vital driver information.’
