Private transport companies face many challenges when it comes to maximising the efficiency of their fleet. From managing time and activity, to keeping up with regulations and optimising costs, it is important to have the right tools to help you in your day-to-day operations.
WAY-Plan allows you to manage your fleet’s activities in real time, monitor performance and determine the most profitable routes.
Make the most of the planning features of WAY-Plan
Routing has proven to be one of the most important features of fleet management. When done right, it can significantly increase fleet efficiency and productivity while reducing costs. It minimises downtime, unnecessary travel and extra kilometres.
WAY-Plan offers features that allow you to :
- Use the app to plan the fastest and most cost-effective routes
- Ability to adapt to last minute changes with real-time planning
- Ability to track routes and drivers in real time
- Passenger CRM (frequent addresses, passengers already transported)
- Configuration of pickups and drop-offs
- Assignment of legends by type of service and by type of vehicle
- Visualisation in planning over a period of 8 hours to 7 days to create logical sequences with Visualimo
By using these features, drivers can ensure that their journeys are as fast and efficient as possible, which can lead to a significant increase in their productivity and revenue.
Optimise your communication with each other and with your customers
As a fleet manager, your role starts with assigning jobs and routes to your drivers, and ends with controlling the invoices and costs of your fleet. But there is another, often underestimated, ingredient that can really drive your fleet to success: communication.
Communication should be an integral part of the fleet management process, and should help you achieving your goals. By using communication tools such as instant messaging, real-time notification systems and automatic alerts, drivers can stay informed of transport instructions in real time and dispatchers can track their progress. It also allows operators to respond quickly to last-minute change requests and to proactively manage transport problems.
Our solution has communication features that allow you to maximise the efficiency of your fleet.
WAY-Plan provides a central communication platform for dispatchers, drivers and customers. Your operations team can send real-time instructions to drivers, plan routes, track live trips and manage customer requests. WAY-D our driver application, on the other hand, provides an interface for drivers to receive instructions, communicate directly with the operations team and manage their working time and daily tasks.
