Whether or not a telematics solution is already in place, many businesses forget to put aside time to re-evaluate and review their options. Meanwhile, technology is evolving and decisions to transform services are becoming increasingly critical to achieving sustainable and profitable operations.<\/p>\n<p>At Quartix, our experience with over 13,000 businesses has shown us that small changes can make huge differences. What works for one company also might not always apply to another. We know vehicle tracking can bring an array of benefits to any kind of business, and we know that the best decisions are considered in a practical context and backed up by research. That\u2019s why we encourage our customers to draw up a business case.<\/p>\n<p>The role of a business case is to enable effective assessment and help all stakeholders to decide exactly where to invest money. Without a clear business case to support a change, the benefit of investing in a new telematics system can be miscommunicated. It can be dismissed as \u2018keeping up with technology\u2019 or simply chasing the lowest price. There are several tips to ensuring the benefits of a system are fully understood. So, what should your business case include?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scaled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/benefits-of-vehicle-tracking\/43657\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">benefits, costs and savings<\/a> using your own fleet data.<\/li>\n<li>Qualitative and quantitative benefits tailored to your business\u2019 activity.<\/li>\n<li>Assessed business risks of current vs new options.<\/li>\n<li>The KPIs to measure success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Where to begin<\/h3>\n<p>Over the past 18 years, we\u2019ve seen almost every kind of business setting for a fleet of drivers. From construction companies to delivery trucks, and from large to small businesses and trades. Operational differences and likenesses can easily be put into perspective by answering a few simple questions regarding, firstly, your fleet:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61247 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-300x284.jpg\" alt=\"Vehicle tracking system,\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-768x726.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1024x969.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-696x658.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1068x1010.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-444x420.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-610x577.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How many vehicles are in your fleet?<\/li>\n<li>What type of vehicles are in your fleet?<\/li>\n<li>How many drivers do you employ?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, secondly, each vehicle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the average distance driven per day?<\/li>\n<li>How much do you spend on fuel per day?<\/li>\n<li>How many trips are made per day?<\/li>\n<li>How much do you currently spend on vehicle tracking?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can then begin to calculate the potential savings not only of switching to an alternative system, but also the benefits that will come with it. For example, you might forecast fuel savings of up to 25% due to better insight into driving habits and the ability to improve these. You might also apply a significant improvement in productivity, as more sophisticated route reports and vehicle logs allow you to ensure the correct hours are being worked and that your customers are billed accordingly. If you calculate these benefits using your fleet data, it puts them into context.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-300x279.jpg\" alt=\"Vehicle tracking system,\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-768x714.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-1024x952.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-696x647.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-1068x993.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-452x420.jpg 452w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1-610x567.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-255x300.jpg\" alt=\"Vehicle tracking system,\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-768x904.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-870x1024.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-696x820.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-1068x1258.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-357x420.jpg 357w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2-610x718.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Quartix-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What are the benefits?<\/h3>\n<p>Different businesses will have different agendas, so it\u2019s useful to list your own businesses concerns and requirements and assess a potential vehicle tracking system against these. Some ideas might be reducing maintenance costs, insurance costs or CO2 emissions, or perhaps improving safety, customer service or productivity. Outlining your key concerns will help you understand which vehicle tracking features are the most important for your business.<\/p>\n<p>As well as improving your vehicle\u2019s MPG through better driving styles, we estimate that by eliminating one hour of vehicle idling per day for a single vehicle, a business can save over \u00a340 per month. Small changes like this soon scale up over time and are worth factoring into your decision. If your drivers often wait between several stops, look out for tracking systems that help you identify and reduce the hours spent with the engine idling.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicle utilisation is another area for potential improvement. With the insight necessary to eliminate crossover journeys and make more informed decisions, costs can be driven down; for example, knowing which driver is closest to a location. A forecast of the weekly savings that a company can make just by eliminating three unnecessary hours is shown here.<\/p>\n<h3>Important considerations<\/h3>\n<p>There are ways to pre-empt questions from those reviewing your business plan, that will save time further down the line. Know the length of the contracts available, understand any additional charges and determine that adequate cash flow is available to invest in each option that you are considering. That way, you won\u2019t be suggesting an option that\u2019s simply not feasible. It\u2019s also a good idea to assess how the system will fit into your business\u2019 current activities and whether it will introduce new ways of working.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, investigate whether the system is reliable \u2013 what do current customers say? If you come armed with information about the tracking system\u2019s support package and reputation, your stakeholders have less to feel unsure about.<\/p>\n<h3>Here to help<\/h3>\n<p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/a-buyers-guide-to-vehicle-tracking\/51075\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">step-by-step guide<\/a> to building your full business case for vehicle tracking and calculating a return on investment based on your fleet data, see the Learn section of the Quartix website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quartix.net\/learn\/whats-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quartix.net\/learn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like any advice, our representatives are always happy to help!

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
