COVID-19 related business challenges: Ways to optimize your fleet operations using Fleetilla's solutions you may already have access to now.

Remote Users - If you now have team members working from home, as a reminder, FleetFACTZ and FleetORB9 platforms can be accessed from any modern web browser.  Most critical functions can also be accessed on a mobile device using the FleetFACTZ or AssetMOBI apps, available from the respective app stores.

Increasing Visibility - With increased remote working and use of contract staff, you may need additional insight into daily operations. Monitoring and communication with field personnel need to be enhanced.  Fleetilla's FleetFACTZ Link is a app that turns a smartphone or tablet into a tracking and communication device within FleetFACTZ. You view location, send and receive messages, SOS, images, and alerts. No additional hardware is required, activate as soon as today. 

Customized Reports and Notification - Fleetilla's FleetFACTZ platform provides a large variety of reports that can be used to keep track of trips, mileage, asset utilization, and be automatically notified when specific events occur. I you need assistance configuring a report to your unique need, contact us, in most situations  we can quickly create one for you at no cost.

Automatic Asset Inventory, Yard Checks -  Would a report with an accurate count and location of every trailer or piece of equipment in each of your yards, be helpful?  If you have a FL/950/FL940 or similar battery battery powered asset tracker already installed on your trailers, roll-off boxes, etc. this can be achieved automatically using the Yard Check report. 

Data Collection Forms - Do you have paper forms submitted by field staff then compiled by you back office staff or management? Items such as equipment/property/site inspection reports, damage assessments, customer visit summaries, field transaction reports, fuel purchases, payroll time cards, etc, can be quickly automated electronically using FleetFORMZ, or doForms, two mobile workflow solutions in our portfolio of solutions.

API Integration -  Fleetilla Connect API, provides a simple and quick way to integrate asset usage and personnel activity with systems used for billing, payroll, etc. Many periodic manual steps can be eliminated, such as: mileage, operating hours, and other usage data can flow into billing systems, shift start/stop times can flow into accounting and payroll systems automatically.  Fleetilla Connect is available with your subscription.

Serving your customers

Tracking ID/Locator - Located within FleetFACTZ and FleetORB9, this feature allows for quickly sharing specific driver/asset location with your customers for a short period of time so they can monitor estimated arrival times.  With 'no contact deliveries', communication will be crucial to maintaining excellent customer service.

Preventive Maintenance -  A systematic and proactive approach to maintenance prevents accidents. Some of your equipment may be being used extensively and others may be used only rarely. The maintenance management features can be used to automatically keep track of when routine maintenance becomes due for each piece of equipment based on usage.

Fault Code Monitoring - Unforeseen breakdowns on the road can critically impact a business and its customers. Most equipment trigger/broadcast fault codes (DTC Codes) long before actual breakdown. If you have telematics devices with fault code monitoring installed, these fault codes can be remotely monitored in real-time and corrective steps taken before an actual breakdown

ELD/HOS Emergency Exemption - If you are required to comply with FMCSA ELD mandate and have drivers who are providing direct assistance to COVID-19 efforts, you can update their driver profile to provide exempt status during those hours. Read More on the Emergency Exemption.

Enforce Social Distancing with Automation - During a time when we are forced to minimize physical interaction we look for creative ways to use technology. Some examples include: using geofences to calculate  arrival and departure times as a substitute for a time clock, utilize Fleetilla HOS DVIR or FleetFACTZ Formz module to replace driver checklists, delivery confirmation, and other forms, run a yard check report to know what vehicles/trailers/equipment are moving, which are sitting, etc. to best utilize your fleet. 

Temperature Sensing - Monitoring cargo temperature is critical when transporting food or medicine. Sensor monitoring dashboards, reports and notifications can be used to effectively manage these. Our support team can assist in determining if your devices are compatible with sensor integration.

Cameras/Dash Cams - The last thing anyone needs right now is to have a team member involved in an accident.  Installing dash cameras into your vehicles gives you complete visibility into you fleet and team members. Mobile video, with AI can be used for exoneration in case of an accident and detect and eliminate risky driving behaviors and provide driver coaching to enhance fleet safety overall. 

Training / Continued Learning -  Do you have new contract team members, team members working cross department, or time to do things you've been putting off? Ongoing training is always available at no cost to Feetilla subscribers. Schedule a one on one, or group sessions as a refresher or to do a deep dive into a specific  module or nee
