Fleet software in the news

26th March 2009

Driver module launched

Fleet software supplier Jaama is putting more resources into developing solutions for the driver or end operator. It believes there is a lack of joined up thinking across different company departments which are each managing components of the fleet, such as HR, health and safety and accounts. Next month it will announce the launch of an electronic driver services (EDS) module after a six-month development with a number of clients, including Manheim, a new customer.
EDS risk profiles drivers and creates a list of recommended actions which can be monitored and measured. It allows information to be logged by drivers and shared among different departments. 'The driver or end operator is a big area of development in terms of allocating information about them - hours, working time directive, risk assessment information, profiling and taking action," said Jaama founder and managing director Jason Francis.
"If you log the information but don't address it, it's a problem. The next step is risk management. I'm not sure that many software companies have woken up to it yet." Francis points to mileage returns as an example. Drivers are claiming money back from HR or accounts which might not have any knowledge of duty of care requirements.
'The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing," he said, adding: "Software can help to join it up." Jaama's 105 fleet customers will be able to sign up to the EDS module from April.
