How Schenk Invest in Fleet Management for a More Reliable Service
We strategically invest in, service, and modify our fleet to handle work from clients of all sizes, including one of the UK’s largest gas manufacturers. After every tank discharge, we perform a deep clean, inspection, and any necessary repairs. Our workshops are tactically placed to maximise fleet availability, ensuring our tanks are always ready to serve our customers efficiently. This proactive approach keeps our operations smooth and our clients satisfied, no matter the scale of their needs.
How Effective Fleet Management Can Save Money and Time in the Supply Chain
Effective fleet management saves money and time in the supply chain by optimising vehicle utilisation, reducing fuel consumption, and minimising maintenance costs.
With systems like telematics and maintenance logs, companies can monitor fleet performance in real time, ensuring timely deliveries and reducing downtime. Automated job portals streamline operations, reducing paperwork and administrative costs.
By maintaining vehicles in top condition and efficiently scheduling routes, fleet management enhances productivity and reliability, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved supply chain efficiency.
Fleet Management Technology to Help
We use a number of fleet management systems to guarantee the vigilant running of our fleet, this includes telematics systems, maintenance logs, and EDI (electronic data interchange) systems. Our Microlise Fleet Performance systems to monitor the precise locations of our fleet and record important information for our customers such as arrival/departure times, ETA boards, and even data on fill and temperature levels for compliance monitoring.
Every time an element of our fleet needs maintenance, it is logged within our fleet management system, Freeway. Here, we can keep track of garage hours and a parts list so we know exactly when each of our tankers is due for another refurbishment. This ensures that we have no tankers on the road in sub-par conditions.
Finally, we have Manpack, which acts as our job portal, replacing paper-based systems for peak efficiency. Manpack automatically works with our customers’ systems and creates jobs, invoices, and confirmations with little to no human input.
