Multi-award winning fleet management partner, Rivus, has rolled out its proprietary Vehicle Check App to help logistics fleets maximise vehicle availability, achieve cost savings and improve compliance.
The digital tool has been designed to make daily vehicle checks on all types of LCV and HGV vehicles quick, simple and intuitive, benefitting drivers and fleet managers.
Drivers can log daily vehicle safety checks, record defects and accidents, check the progress of repairs, plus find the nearest Rivus garage.
App data feeds business intelligence through an online portal, giving a real time view of fleet status, repairs and vehicle availability, with a compliance audit trail for any type of vehicle.
Reducing vehicle off road time
Analysis of fleets using the Rivus Vehicle Check App has shown it helps to reduce vehicle downtime by up to 13%. Data captured enables the Rivus team to identify work required in advance of planned maintenance activities, meaning they can ensure the right amount of time, skilled technicians and necessary parts are available.
Andy Caine, Senior Product Manager said: “Regular and long periods of downtime where commercial vehicles are off the road have a negative impact on logistics businesses.
“Spotting and resolving issues quickly is essential. Vehicle check questions can be tailored to specific types of vehicle, make, model and functions within the fleet operation. This offers a way to plan garage capacity, build in preventative and proactive maintenance and ensure each type of vehicle has the necessary compliance checks.”
Delivering Cost Savings
In addition to reductions in vehicle down time, customers have reported savings on fleet admin time of over £60,000 within the first year of use.
Keeping on top of Compliance
The app is recognised by the DVSA as contributing towards Earned Recognition Status for HGV operators, so it’s ideal for completing regulatory HGV checks. It also supports O’Licence requirements, offering peace of mind and a way of keeping drivers compliant.
Delivering the Rivus Difference
Unlike competitor vehicle check tools, app users have access to Rivus’ award-winning Service, Maintenance & Repair programme. Equipped for future fleets, Rivus has an unrivalled garage network of 78 independently owned garages and 500 approved garage partners, including 21 HGV specialist garages and mobile servicing capability.
