It’s finally here: optimize your fleet usage data – whether it’s owned, leased, hired or shared – every day, from purchase to replacement.
Get Control of Your Fleet Mobility Data, Benchmark Your Assets With Our Database, and Stop The Avoidable Costs and Risks – With This One Data Aggregation Tool
You can keep analyzing spreadsheets with “maybe-correct” data about your mobile assets…
Or you can use ONE Simple Dashboard to show you what’s really going on with them – letting you benchmark your fleet assets, easily manage compliance requirements, and reduce their costs
“This online tool helped us find big cost savings and improve our risk compliance processes. Without it I’m certain we wouldn’t have achieved either of them.”
recognize any of these?
If you’re a CEO or CFO:
- The spreadsheet reports on your fleet assets “look” OK, but you don’t know what’s really behind their numbers – and it makes you anxious.
- Every time your procurement team buys new vehicles and machines they’re somehow always just within the budget.
- Your repair and maintenance costs always seem a little high – even though your machinery often sits unused in your warehouse.
- You often wonder how long you should own a mobile asset. Should it be for the term of its manufacturer’s warranty? For the term of its lease? Are there other guidelines?
- Your compliance and insurance documents are neatly filed away at home – but you can never find them when you need them.
- You always get ‘competitive’ finance for your machinery from a friendly referral – but you still wonder afterwards if you’re paying too much.
- The hours on your earthmoving machines are low, but their running costs are high.
- Do you always buy from the one Fleet Salesperson at the same new-car dealership because they give you huge discounts?
- Do you always keep your fleet vehicles and machines for the length of their manufacturer warranties – and never a moment longer?
- And you only look at buying replacement vehicles and machines when their lease periods are about to expire?
- Do your clients keep demanding better results from you?
- And are you finding it hard to understand what’s really going on with their fleet operations?
They’ll be familiar if you have responsibilities for a fleet of mobile assets – big or small.
- Understand their actual use and productivity, so you could…
- Discover their real costs, letting you…
- Find the sources of their problems, allowing you to…
- Discover how to reduce their costs and risks…
- Be able to benchmark their performance…
- Know the optimum time to replace them…
- And be able to procure them with maximum value.
I’m Grant Andrews. I’ve been helping companies and organizations optimize the management of their vehicle fleets and mobile assets for more than 30 years.
And I’ve packaged all three decades of my experience into one place – it’s called Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool.
Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool is a SaaS (software as a solution) data aggregation product designed by me – a Fleet Operations expert – and not a software developer.
The Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool system is a centralized, easy-to-use reporting system. It aggregates all of your critical fleet data in one place to let you see what’s really going on.
It lets you manage your mobile assets effectively – and easily.
Your fleet problems often live in the places you can’t see.
- They’re all tools. Each of them has a job to do. It’s why businesses, governments and other organizations buy or hire them.
- They all come with costs – which isn’t just the purchase price.
- And they all carry risks.
There’s no magic to successful fleet management. But there’s this.
It’s something many owners and managers of mobile assets aren’t aware of. But getting its benefits is quite simple.
Here it is:
Successful fleet management is successful contract management.
It means creating a KPI-based contract for each mobile asset you have – and then making sure it meets these requirements for the whole time you own it or use it.
This means every vehicle or machine – no matter how big, small or expensive – performs as expected, and doesn’t produce extra costs or risks.
This is how to extract the available value from every mobile asset you have.
And it explains why a cheap purchase price doesn’t make your fleet asset “good value”.
Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool Gives You The Facts.
It also makes full contract management possible with each of your mobile assets.
And this means you can get the full lifecycle value they offer, whether you buy them, lease them or rent them.
It also makes managing your mobile assets simple and accurate.
It lets you:
- See the factors behind their costs, compliance issues, and risks – letting you reduce operating expenses and improve your risk management.
- See the true status of your mobile assets – which means you don’t have to estimate what’s going on with your fleet operations.
- Manage the use of each asset in your organization – so you can get its full value for the entire time it’s with you.
- Configure the dashboards to suit the information needs of different team members. For example, the CEO and CFO can have different information dashboards to what the workshop supervisor uses – because they need to know different things.
It works with all types of mobile assets (land, sea and air) - including:
Using it is Easy.
Every day, you simply check your email inbox for reports.
We can even add your Fleet Analytics Dashboard to your intranet – so you don’t even have to login to check it.
It’s that simple.
Here’s what you do each day:
Step 1
Step 2
If any dashboard KPI has a red light, click on it to investigate. It’s usually a signal there’s a problem needing attention right now. Acting immediately often means avoiding major problems, risks and costs.
Examples here include an excessive repair cost with an asset, and expired risk management documents.
Step 3
If any KPI has a yellow light, click on it to investigate. It could be an issue in the early stages of becoming a future problem.
Examples here include higher-than-usual fuel usage by an asset, and an asset that’s been dormant for some time.
Step 4
Check all other KPIs have green lights.
And this is the big effect it will have:
You’ll go from thinking you know what’s going on with your mobile assets to actually knowing what’s really going on when you use Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool.
This will let you…
- Plan more effectively.
- Find ways to improve compliance behaviors and costs.
- Get value from each asset for its entire lifecycle.
- Worry less.
- How much they’re being used (and determine if it’s too little or too much).
- When they’re being used.
- Who’s using them.
- Am I capturing all of my billable hours for every mobile asset?
- Fuel:
- Are they using too much?
- Is too much being spent?
- Is any of it being stolen?
- Maintenance: schedules, costs, and any non-scheduled occurrences:
- How much maintenance is scheduled and how much is unscheduled?
- What’s causing so much unscheduled maintenance?
- Is it caused by mis-use?
- Is it a sign people are being put at risk?
- Essential-wear-items status:
- For example, vehicle tyres - when they were fitted and their forecast replacement time according to mileage or time in use.
- Repairs: schedules, expenses, and any non-scheduled occurrences
- Finance repayments
- Depreciation / value status
- Registration status of each vehicle (and when these need renewing)
- Insurance status (and when these need renewing)
- Accident reports
- Have we got too many vehicles or machines? Or too few?
- How can I work out the number of vehicles and equipment I really need?
- What’s better for us: a managed lease OR ownership? Or rentals?
- How long should we keep our vehicles / machines?
- Is there an optimum time to replace them?
- And how do I figure out the optimum replacement time for a piece of equipment BEFORE I buy it?
Here's How Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool Works
Uniqco Fleet Data Aggregation Tool works like this:
- It takes regular uploads of up-to-date primary-source information about your mobile assets.
- It then aggregates these data, checks them for accuracy by triangulating them and presents them against their KPIs in your dashboard, giving you an up-to-date picture of what’s really going on with them.
Examples of these data are
Fuel cost and usage reports (from your fuel supplier)
Maintenance and repair invoices (from the suppliers who bill you)
Odometer and hour-usage readings from machines (using telematics and other methods)
Expiry dates on key documents, such as safety plans (from the time of their creation)
And more….
By comparing these aggregated datasets with their KPIs, the resulting data mix is then turned into meaningful reports, which are sent to your inbox.
And they’re shown in a simple on-screen dashboard, which uses an easy-to-understand traffic light system:
- Green means these assets are operating within best-practice (budget) guidelines
- Orange means these assets are trending outside best-practice guidelines
- Red means there’s an immediate concern with these assets – they need urgent attention
The traffic light system removes the need to deep-dive into every detail of every asset to find problems. Or to check things are OK.
It lets you know the status of your mobile assets at any time.
- How effectively managers are managing their assets
- Regular finance costs
- Scheduled vs. unscheduled maintenance costs
- Asset down-times
- Utilization rates
- Safety KPIs
- Monthly maintenance costs: forecast vs. actual
- WHS (Work Health and Safety) document renewal dates
- Vehicle registration renewal dates
- Scheduled maintenance and repair bookings
- Repair down-times so broken assets can be re-scheduled
Here’s Why It Works
1. It aggregates your fleet assets’ essential primary-source data
2. It triangulates these data to verify their plausibility and accuracy
Triangulating data by cross-verifying it with several sources ensures it’s robust. It lets you get to the source of what’s causing these results – which means you can solve problems earlier and find opportunities for improvement.
It means you're able to:
Know what’s really going on with your mobile assets every day
Procure, manage and replace fleets and mobile assets more easily
- Know what’s really going on with your mobile assets every day
