Fleet Cost & Care Is Offering Commercial Fleet Management Consulting For Businesses

Fleet Cost & Care, a fleet management software and consulting company based in Detroit, Michigan, is providing commercial fleet management consulting for businesses aiming to keep their services running smoothly and efficiently.

There are several key metrics that a business that works with a large group of vehicles regularly must track for maximum insight into their operations. For example, fuel usage and spending, when keenly measured and reported, can allow management to make crucial decisions that ultimately lead to higher profits and a sturdier business model. Recording trip data allows businesses to pinpoint the areas that see the most frequent travel and find alternate routes or enhance safety.

Driver behavior and statistics such as average fuel usage, adherence to traffic laws, and general incident reports can help fleet managers pick the most responsible and trustworthy crew members who cost less for the company to insure. Vehicle maintenance is another source of data that helps businesses ensure safety and maximize the utilization of their fleet without considerable downtime.

“There are many more such minor and major considerations that can go a long way towards getting the most out of your fleet,” says the spokesperson for Fleet Cost & Care. “With the right consultants and the right suite of software solutions on your side, you can track and report key data points that will allow you to parse the numbers and make decisions on both employees and vehicles more easily. To get started with the best fleet management software in the industry, we urge you to give Fleet Cost & Care a try by reaching out and scheduling a demo with our consultants.”

The company’s NexGen fleet management software is a desktop application that can handle quoting and scheduling jobs, adding, or removing equipment, viewing daily, weekly, or monthly schedules, and performing all of the back-office administrative tasks required by a business. It is especially handy for scheduling as the system gives administrators the power to view the resource schedules the way they want to see them. So, job scheduling becomes simpler as administrators know exactly where the resources are scheduled to be and when.

Atom is Fleet Cost & Care’s mobile fleet management app that allows fleet owners to manage operations from a tablet or smartphone. Dispatchers, sales managers, operators, and service managers use Atom to create quotes and work orders, assign work to mechanics, enter labor, capture signatures on a job site, perform safety checklists, and check in on the status of the jobs for any given time period. All the work completed in Atom is synced in real-time with NexGen, so work being performed in the field is immediately accessible to administrative staff in the office.

The company’s software suite has received tremendous feedback from businesses that manage fleets of their own. It boasts an impressive overall rating of 4.4 out of 5.0 on its Capterra profile from over 30 reviews with clients praising the software for its comprehensiveness and ease of use, and the support provided by Fleet Cost & Care.

A recent review says, “Once it has been set up and customized to your industry it is an indispensable product. Without this, you are wasting both time and money. Setup is what takes the longest to use. You can use the "canned" options given but we decided to customize it to our specific needs. Yes, it was more time but worth it which then brings us to tech support, which is great. Should we come across a problem it has been answered if not within a few minutes but within 24 hours.”

Fleet Cost & Care also regularly publishes helpful advice that potential clients are bound to find transformative for their fleet management strategies. Case in point, its blog post on fleet inventory management details six strategies to manage parts inventory, organization, and real-time visibility of parts on hand. This includes deciding on a physical organizational structure, developing a company-wide parts entry procedure, determining valid reorder points to manage quantities on hand and reduce cost, tracking all expenditures in the fleet management software system, closely monitoring consumables, and encouraging procedural refinement and new ideas.
