Companies increasingly using fleet software to manage other assets, finds FleetCheck

FleetCheck has found that companies are increasingly using fleet management software to manage other assets, beyond just fleet-related items.

Companies are giving assets QR codes or other identifiers, allowing location, compliance status and condition to be registered on fleet management software.

Whole-life costs of any asset are able to be tracked.

FleetCheck customers discussed the subject in-depth at its recent Customer Conference, held at Resorts World Birmingham during the Commercial Vehicle (CV) Show.

Peter Golding (pictured), CEO at FleetCheck, said: “Most fleet managers have long realised that assets directly linked to cars and vans can be managed using their fleet software, from dashcams to tow hooks.

“However, more and more, we are seeing a wide range of non-fleet items being monitored in the same way.

“This might include obvious examples such as tools and parts but we even have a housing association that lists items such as microwave ovens and furniture.

“This allows everything from expensive, major items to be tracked through to easily lost or stolen smaller pieces of kit.
