Fleet Management for Trades & Construction
Transform your trades & construction fleet management with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with fleet management.
Proactive maintenance scheduling based on actual usage prevents the breakdowns that strand technicians on the roadside and delay jobs.
Route optimisation and driver behaviour monitoring reduce unnecessary kilometres and fuel waste across the fleet.
Automated tracking ensures every vehicle is registered, serviced, and insured on time, eliminating the fines and business risk from expired compliance.
The Challenge
Common fleet management challenges facing trades & construction businesses.
Vehicles miss scheduled services because the office relies on windscreen sticker reminders that nobody checks, leading to breakdowns and warranty voidance.
Registration renewals are missed and vehicles are driven unregistered because there is no tracking system beyond the fleet manager memory.
Dispatch sends technicians to jobs with no visibility into vehicle location, often sending someone from across town when a closer vehicle was available.
Fleet costs are lumped together in the accounting system with no visibility into cost per vehicle, making it impossible to identify vehicles that are uneconomical to maintain.
Implementation
How we implement fleet management for your trades & construction business.
Register All Vehicles and Equipment
Every van, ute, truck, trailer, and major piece of equipment is registered with registration expiry, service schedules, insurance details, and assigned operator. Odometer readings sync from GPS trackers.
- ✓ Tools: Fleetio, Airtable, Make
Automate Service and Compliance Scheduling
Service reminders trigger based on kilometres or time intervals. Registration renewals, RWC inspections, and fire extinguisher checks are tracked with automated alerts to the fleet coordinator.
- ✓ Tools: Fleetio, Make, Google Calendar
Optimise Job Dispatch and Routing
GPS tracking provides real-time vehicle locations for intelligent dispatch. Route optimisation reduces travel time between jobs and identifies the nearest available vehicle for urgent callouts.
- ✓ Tools: Verizon Connect, Google Maps API, Make
Track Costs and Generate Compliance Reports
Fuel, maintenance, registration, and insurance costs are tracked per vehicle. Fleet utilisation reports, cost-per-kilometre analysis, and compliance status dashboards are generated automatically.
- ✓ Tools: Google Looker Studio, Xero, Make
