Fleet Efficiency

Fleet-vansAs the world continues to adapt to evolving challenges, from pandemics to logistical hurdles, the need for robust fuel management has never been clearer. With an increasing number of vehicles on the road, maintaining control over fuel usage and enhancing fleet efficiency is essential. At Jigsaw, our cutting-edge fuel management systems are designed to optimize your operations and protect your assets, providing invaluable support to fleet managers everywhere.

Here’s why implementing a comprehensive fuel management system is more important than ever:

Guard Against Fuel Theft

Fuel theft is a persistent and often underestimated issue, particularly when managing a large fleet with new drivers. Studies show that over 67% of reported fuel theft incidents occur in commercial settings, costing UK businesses millions annually. The problem can range from incorrect fuel consumption reporting to odometer tampering, leading to significant financial losses over time. With Jigsaw’s fuel management solutions, discrepancies are quickly identified, allowing you to take immediate action and keep fuel theft risks to a minimum.

Monitor Cost Per Mile for Better Budgeting

One of the core benefits of a fuel management system is the ability to monitor how far each vehicle can travel on a specific amount of fuel. This real-time insight is invaluable for managing expenses and identifying opportunities to streamline operations. Given the recent challenges faced by the transport industry—such as Brexit-related border delays and increased demand for delivery services—keeping a close eye on every mile driven and every litre consumed helps maintain control over costs and supports better decision-making.

Promptly Address Vehicle Maintenance Issues

Fuel management systems provide critical data that can help pinpoint underlying issues affecting fuel efficiency. If a vehicle shows unusual fuel consumption, it might indicate the need for maintenance, such as optimizing tyre pressure or addressing engine problems. This data-driven approach helps avoid more severe issues down the road and ensures each vehicle in your fleet operates at peak efficiency.

Optimise Your Fleet with Data-Driven Decisions

By providing detailed insights into the performance and cost-effectiveness of each vehicle, Jigsaw’s fuel management systems empower you to make informed decisions about your fleet. Whether it’s deciding to retire an older, less efficient vehicle or investing in newer, more fuel-efficient models, our systems help you evaluate your options and save money in the long run. Regular assessments based on reliable data ensure that your fleet remains lean, efficient and cost-effective.

Promote Fuel-Saving Best Practices Among Drivers

Our systems not only help manage fuel but also offer insights into driver behaviour, highlighting areas where training and improvements are needed. Encouraging your drivers to adopt fuel-saving practices can significantly enhance overall efficiency. Some effective strategies include:

  • Adhering to Speed Limits: Even reducing speed from 80 mph to 70 mph can save up to 25% in fuel, as noted by the AA.
  • Smooth Driving: Reducing frequent acceleration and braking can lower fuel consumption, especially in traffic-heavy areas.
  • Maintaining Aerodynamics: Keeping windows closed at higher speeds reduces wind resistance, helping to conserve fuel.

By fostering a culture of fuel efficiency, you not only save on costs but also enhance overall fleet safety and performance.

Streamline Expense Claims and Administration

Tracking fuel expenses and handling the related paperwork can be cumbersome, especially in today’s rapidly changing landscape. Jigsaw’s fuel management systems simplify this process by providing real-time data and automated reports. This eliminates the need for manual tracking and significantly reduces administrative burdens, enabling your team to focus on more strategic tasks.

Reduce Administrative Overhead

The combined effects of the pandemic and Brexit have increased the administrative load for fleet managers, with more documentation and compliance requirements than ever before. Our systems ease this burden by delivering automated, on-demand reports directly to your device. With less time spent on manual stocktaking and report generation, your team can focus on critical operational priorities.
