Poor fleet management has a huge effect on the bottom line of any organisation. Achieve business efficiency by implementing an efficient fleet management solution which translates to improved business performance through customer service efficiency, financial efficiency and logistical efficiency. Investing in a reliable fleet management system is crucial for your company’s growth. The primary value of any vehicle or asset is in its usage, productivity and reliability rather than in its ownership.
With extensive APIs to support seamless integration third-party platforms or systems giving you the power to see, monitor and optimize all your rolling resources in real-time.

3. Emergency callout
A fully comprehensive Emergency Call-Out Service will be provided for responding to requests for attendance on Emergency Works. This service will be provided through the Call Centre and the Building Control Centre. Following call receipt by the Call Centre, a Priority Level is assessed in consultation with the SLA applicable and the resources required and the action needed. The Call Centre will notify the client user.
The intent is to agree priority ratings, which categories the level of response required for each emergency situation under the SLAs. The emergency Call-Out Service will require immediate methods of communications between the Call Centre and the On-Call Officer.
4. Engineering Solutions
Maintenance engineering includes business process re-engineering on the basis of applying more intelligent maintenance management principles and learning from lessons past. The longer-term benefit to the client is a reduction of operating and ownership costs of fleet.
Minatlou-Future will employ a variety of techniques and integrated solutions such as:
• Repair versus Replace analysis
• Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
• Standardization
• Asset Assessment Process
• Trade-off of alternative maintenance plans
• Spares management and provisioning
• Cost of Ownership and Economical lifetime analysis
• Technological enhancement/outdated technology
• Occupational health and safety risk
• Benchmarking
• FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System)
• Energy management All of the above ensures that the plant is operating at or beyond expected performance levels as agreed to in the SLA.
5. Optimum Plant and Equipment Operation
The principle of optimising and focusing on the total life cycle of plant and equipment and the cost associated with it, rather than just focusing on purchase and capital cost, has proven to be highly rewarding in terms of cost savings. Minatlou-Future’s holistic view of the life cycle planning of plant and equipment ensures a seamless transition from inception to operation.
This holistic view comes from an integrated Life Cycle Cost Management model, which will be used to record total cost, predict future cost and support cost enhancement decisions. The reliability of the output of this model is realised through its population with actual data from the Integrated Fleet Management System which contains relevant information from the Projects Management System, Maintenance Management System and Call Centre System. Collectively this information will be used for efficient management of plant and equipment through its life cycle.
This approach facilitates the integration of the design philosophy and maintenance strategy, which is achieved by:
• Applying “best practice” maintenance operating principles towards maximising reliability.
• Ensuring compliance to regulatory issues together within agreed service standards.
• Consideration of the constructability of the design in terms of ease of replacement.
• Minimising the impact of maintenance on the availability of plant and equipment.
• Optimising the reliability of the overall systems to support the communication infrastructure
6. Service and Operation
Operation refers to such activities outside maintenance and are concerned with operating the fleet management system including tracking vehicles, driver behavour, etc. we will review the fleet management study or strategy that the client has and customise the Service and Operation offering. We include in this section the options available and we will jointly determine how to structure these services to maximise, not compromise your organisation potential
7. Fleet Tracking
Real-time fleet tracking pinpoints every detail of vehicle operations to identify areas that can be improved upon, optimizing productivity and efficiency.
A small plug-and-play telematics device can drive big fleet efficiencies, by letting you track fleet vehicles from almost anywhere in real-time. The fleet telematics system provides a wealth of data—including GPS location, speed, fuel usage and engine performance—capturing details needed to improve fuel usage, optimize routes and plan maintenance. The system’s real-time data can be used to generate instant notifications and customizable dashboard reports, among other applications. Fleet Telematics can deliver alerts to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, too, so you never miss a beat even when you’re on the go.
8. Odometer Monitoring
Monitoring the odometer reading of a fleet of commercial vehicles is essential in controlling costs. With vehicles being maintained on a time and mileage basis, it is important to ensure that all the vehicles cover as uniform a distance as possible over their life. That way, we are most likely to minimise them whilst maximising value for money and minimising vehicle downtime.
In addition, the resale value of the vehicles is likely to be enhanced as high mileage decreases value quicker than low mileage increases it. By using telematic technology, Monatlou-Future can take responsibility for not only monitoring an entire fleet, but in managing the actions deemed appropriate. The client loses no control as mileage reports are viewable on-line.
