Fleet efficiency drives can align analytics with business objectives

Fleet efficiency is not an isolated issue for operators; it is connected throughout all areas of the business, from environmental impact to bottom-line profits.

Raise your fleet efficiency and you send your vehicles out with closer to a 100% load, and run them empty for as little time as possible.

In turn, your fuel waste and unnecessary carbon emissions are cut, and goods can potentially make it to their destinations more quickly.

However, improving fleet efficiency is not a matter of guesswork, but should be based on clear analytics that address every aspect of your use of vehicles.

Gartner has published a report showing how, in many cases, analytics carried out in-house by companies are not aligned fully with the driving forces behind their business.

"By 2014, fewer than 30% of business intelligence initiatives will align analytic metrics completely with enterprise business drivers," the analyst claims.

For fleet operators, as mentioned above, efficiency touches on everything from meeting delivery deadlines to reining in fuel costs.

By investing in analytics such as 3t's unbiased consultancy service, you can make sure any changes you make to your operations are aligned with long-term positive outcomes for your business.

More importantly, we can help to justify any changes you make - and avoid making 'improvements' that ultimately harm your bottom line.
