A new management information platform intended to help fleets make optimum use of vehicle and driver data has launched from PVS Innovation.

The PVS Innovation management information platform has the scope to ‘slice and dice’ collected date visually and according to ‘rule sets’ defined by individual customers

Arriving as fleets face an ever-increasing volume of data from multiple sources, the platform provides a one-stop data repository developed to deliver a ‘magic mirror’ to identify key action areas.

Marcus Puddy, who founded parent firm PVS Group, explained: “Invariably vehicle-related data provided by contract hire and leasing companies, rental suppliers, maintenance providers and fuel card companies and driver performance information sourced via in-vehicle telematics, driver behaviour tools and accident management organisations are located in individual silos.

“But the new PVS Innovation management information platform provides all the answers to difficult questions relating to fleet operating costs and driver behaviour in one easily accessible location.”

Uses can break down the information in a quick and easy format, according to a range of parameters including spend by, for example, division, geographical area and employee group as well as identifying trends over a defined period of time such as by month, quarter or year. This can then be used by operators to spot avoidable costs and see where cash savings can be made, as well as helping to drive efficiency and safety.

Puddy finished: “The management information platform and dashboard are fleet managers’ ‘magic mirror’ providing them with the data required to cut costs, ensure compliance and fleet and driver operating efficiency and effectiveness.”
