BackgroundUpon commencement in 2008 it was apparent that much of the fleet MRC had inherited was in poor
condition, often unsuitable for intended use and in many cases unregistered
.
Can anyone relate to this?Slide3
In 2010 Council approved a fleet plan based on fit for purpose vehicles and plant, standardised makes and models and a ‘user pays’ system where all Council fleet users would pay a monthly fee.Slide4
A major clearing auction of all obsolete and BER fleet was planned and held in Alice Springs…..no reserve prices and all was sold.Funds from the auction were added to our
capex budget and we took the plunge investing in Ford Rangers and the first of the standard model JD 315 Backhoe
In order to keep track of the fleet and to also charge out internally the ‘Fleet module’ in Tech One was commissioned.Slide5
Anyone ever worked with Tech one?Slide6
The Tech one module was configured with all the required info to keep track of the fleet…VIN numbers,
etc, etc.In order to charge out monthly within Council it was integrated with the T1 finance system.Slide7
It worked…until we needed to reconfigure the mysterious ‘links’ between fleet and finance…our pockets weren't deep enough to afford T1!!!At the same time we had to rethink finance rules around charging out ‘internally’. Community Services became our only customer…..Slide8
T1 was still used but was not user friendly and would bottleneck with the one capable user….there's only 7.6 hours in the day!
Eventually I just couldn’t remember which white 4wd was which…there had to be a better way ….did I mention we also have a team of mobile mechanics?Slide9
After checking out various equally complex software solutions we trialled ‘
Fleetio’…a fairly new web based system from Alabama with only around 72,000 vehicles worldwide currently.Slide10Slide11
We ‘went live’ in April 2014…Access levels are set so that collaboration is ‘encouraged’ from all fleet users…the key features being tracking odometers and raising issues….over to the web for a demo……………… (I don’t work for
Fleetio
