Research conducted by Driversure UK Ltd demonstrates that fleets who buy its managed fleet-risk solution saved more labour-hours per month than was expected.  

Passing on the onerous elements of risk administration to a trusted partner creates time for greater focus on more important matters such as those that will make a real difference to overall risk.

Typically, fleets that buy all five key risk services (see diagram below) are increasingly struggling to find time to manage the constant waves of risk data their suppliers generate.  

In fact, very often fleets end up drowning in data, which can mean that major compliance issues are missed and fleet risk strategy can go off-course.

MD of Driversure, Paul Rose, believes this problem lends itself to an outsourced solution because, ‘this is what we do, with experienced team members, in volume and with dedicated software’. 

Examples of onerous risk-administration activities that can be passed to Driversure might involve:

• Gathering risk-data from all the key risk-supplier types
• Trawling gathered data to identify instances of excessive risk
• Diagnosing risk causation and delivering tailored remedial action
• Creating and presenting management information

Improving legal compliance and duty of care by offering a day-by-day approach, every day of the year.

Fleets now recognise there is little point in buying fleet risk services if the benefits of those services are squandered due to lack of available management time.

For example, many Telematics providers report to us that due to lack of management time, clients view their portal much less than expected. Similar feedback comes from licence check suppliers and accident management providers.

So, did you know that the Driversure managed fleet-risk service can include all functions relating to fleet risk administration and save over 100 labour-hours/month in the fleet department for every 50 drivers enrolled.  

Additionally, through our Driving Passport App, every enrolled driver could potentially save 50% of the time they currently spend in dealing with fleet-risk matters.

For a fleet that takes fleet risk-reduction seriously, the time-savings available are significant and are in addition to any risk reduction achieved.

A more profitable use of the fleet department resource might be to implement recommendations arising from the Rose Index survey of driving-safety culture, which would have an additional impact on reducing fleet risk
