Licence Check has launched a supplier management feature within its DAVIS Fleet platform, aiming to give fleet and finance managers greater transparency around their service, maintenance and repair (SMR) spend.
The new tool allows managers to input all suppliers used for SMR work, including servicing, repairs, tyres and glass, and identify spending patterns across suppliers and service types.
The platform then provides clear reports showing where spend is highest and with which providers, over intervals such as six or 12 months.
This update forms part of the ongoing development of DAVIS (Driver and Vehicle Information Solutions), Licence Check’s integrated risk management system.
The platform is designed to present only actionable management information, avoiding large volumes of raw data.
Keith Allen, managing director at Licence Check, said: “This latest release adds further to the extensive armoury we are developing for fleet managers within DAVIS Fleet.
“Our objective is to make their roles more manageable, by the use of sophisticated, yet easy to use and transparent solutions to reduce task time and improve fleet management effectiveness.”
Recent additions to DAVIS Fleet include vehicle inspections, defect and downtime management, benefit-in-kind (BIK) taxation, and fines management.
“The downtime feature in particular has gained popularity, offering insight into vehicle reliability by measuring off-road time, while the fines module helps track repeat offenders and manage recharges for fines.
Allen added: “We have further new features in the pipeline which we will introduce on a planned basis and which will further consolidate vital fleet information into one integrated solution to allow fleet managers to do their job more efficiently.”
