In this Morning Cuppa minisode I’m going to be having a look at what data can do for you.
Data isn't just a bunch of huge numbers that exist in the background of a business. Data is a tool that can be used to help improve any organisation of any type.
There’s a famous saying that highlights this, and that saying is “what gets measured gets done” and that couldn’t be more true.
If you're a transport manager or business owner, there are a number of fairly simple things you can improve, but you can only do this by tracking them in the first place. This might be trying to use less fuel, reduce overall operating costs, or reducing delivery times, just to name a few.
As a transport manager, one of the most important things you can do is track your vehicle mileage. This data can be used to improve efficiency, plan routes, and track maintenance milestones.
You'll be able to see where your vehicles are spending the most time on the road, and you can use this information to optimise routes and save on fuel costs.
You'll also be able to have a better understanding of your driver’s hours as you’ll know how far they’ve travelled in their vehicles each day. You can compare this against tachograph records, just to make sure everything matches up.
Lastly, you’ll have a data-backed record of how your vehicles are being used, and you can use this information to justify future investment in your fleet if you feel as though some vehicles used too much and are breaking down too often
It may seem like a tedious task, but the benefits are clear.
