Vehicle Management
Simplify safety inspections (PMIs)
Vehicle and trailer inspection schedules can be easily created for each asset with a range of options available to automatically control how schedules are managed. FORS FMS proactively generates alerts and multiple reports can be scheduled to advise users and service providers on assets that require inspection.
Inspection documents can be automatically uploaded to the system and filed against the correct vehicle, reducing manual inputting. FORS FMS can report if there are any missing inspection documents and the inspection history is detailed with clear ‘plan to actual’ referencing.
Other areas included:
- Option to record adhoc inspections
- MOT pass rates
- Tyre management
- Additional brake test management
Removing the hassle of paper vehicle inspections
Tired of chasing the paperwork associated with vehicle inspections, or driving between multiple sites to ensure checks are being done properly?
You can streamline your vehicle inspection process with FORS FMS Mobile. Our app enables drivers to submit safety checks and more, removing manual processes and improving efficiency.
Proactive SMR Management
Proactive servicing, maintenance and repairs (SMR) allows you to plan when a vehicle needs to come off the road, avoiding the risk of having multiple vehicles out of action. With FORS FMS, you can schedule key date alerts, allowing you to:
- Forward plan MOT and servicing schedules
- Avoid long garage lead times when booking in vehicles
- Demonstrate you are operating within industry guidelines and have 12 months planned maintenance schedules in place
- Manage and report on VOR/SORN vehicles
Fuel Management
You can influence how much fuel your fleet uses, simply by making some subtle changes. Driver behaviour, vehicle maintenance, vehicle selection, journey management and tyre care can all have a surprising impact on your fuel costs.
With FORS FMS:
- Integrate your fuel card data into your account
- Automatically allocate fuel against the right vehicle/driver
- Receive MPG analysis
- Have visibility of any maintenance issues causing excessive fuel consumption
- Identify likely fuel theft
- Get accurate CO2 reporting
VOR/SORN Monitoring
FORS FMS enables you to track why and when vehicles have been registered as VOR / SORN. This is key information when planning capacity and vehicle availability to manage loads.
Understanding why a vehicle has been declared off road also helps to manage vehicle disposal decisions – identifying when it’s better to replace rather than repair a vehicle.
Tyre Management
It is a well-known fact that 57% of tyres are already illegal when they come to be replaced.
By proactively prompting drivers to submit their tread depth measurements FORS FMS can notify fleet managers when tyres are getting close to their legal limits. Tread depths can be directly fed into a user’s FORS FMS account through the FORS FMS Mobile App or by scheduled reports.
When tyres are replaced you can store the cost and date allowing users to monitor trends and costs.
Maintenance and Tachograph Integration
FORS FMS can receive data directly from a multitude of third-party providers, including tachograph analysis and maintenance providers. This ensures that companies can keep on top of what needs to be done. Examples of information brought across are:
- Driver card download dates
- Driver infringements
- Servicing and maintenance history
- Vehicle unit download dates
- Accurate odometer readings
