The government has been urged to introduce a “progressive company car tax regime” that does not encourage employees to opt into personal contract hire (PCH) schemes and select vehicles with higher carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than they might have chosen via a corporate scheme. The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) made its plea […]
Today’s fleet decision-makers are seeking smart “self-service” solutions focusing on intelligent process-driven functionality that reduces the requirement for regular manual intervention from the fleet team.
Business is booming for leading fleet and asset management software company Jaama, which has recruited a further six customer-facing employees.
The recruits include a technical client manager and four technical support advisors who all sit within Jaama’s customer service department and a project consultant who has joined the company’s implementation team.
Jaama managing director Martin Evans said: “Year-on-year the business continues to expand as an ever-increasing number of organisations decide to use our multi award-winning Key2 web-based technology.
“The expansion in Jaama’s customer base across all business sectors in which we operate – public and private fleets including those with their own workshops, vehicle leasing and rental companies, and plant, equipment and tool hire – is driving the need to recruit additional staff.”
Jaama, the UK’s leading fleet and asset management software solution provider, is supporting the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) on its Earned Recognition Scheme pilot and encouraging commercial vehicle, coach and bus operators to take part.
Operators that use Jaama’s multi award-winning Key2 web-based technology to record walk-around vehicle inspection checks, servicing and MoT information will be able to feed that information directly into the DVSA database.
The information recorded by transport managers will demonstrate to the DVSA that fleets are practicing robust and timely compliance methods.
The Earned Recognition Scheme initiative is designed to reduce the number of vehicle roadside checks by DVSA enforcement officers. Roadside checks typically have an impact on business efficiency because they inevitably result in delays and subsequent fines from customers for missing allocated time slots. Additionally, vehicle defects found in checks can result in legal action and trigger a chain reaction nightmare for bosses.
Jaama, the UK’s leading fleet and asset management software company, is helping truck fleets comply with tougher new roadside inspections by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) that include an emissions check.
Jaama’s industry-leading, multi award-winning Key2 software enables users to record and store all emissions-related data and then use the information to trigger any rectification requirements.
The Department for Transport has said that from August, roadside lorry inspections will include an emissions check with DVSA enforcement officers particularly looking for use of so-called ‘cheat devices’.
Although rogue hauliers are the DVSA’s target, Jaama says that it is critical that all HGV fleets have a robust audit trail of emission data recorded at every vehicle check, including service schedules and MoTs.
Implementation of Jaama’s industry-leading fleet, driver, workshop and asset management software system is expected to be a game-changer for Anglian Water.
Jaama’s multi-award-winning, industry-leading Key2 software system is the ‘showroom’ that enables JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions to deliver a high-quality service to its expanding customer base.
More than a fifth (21%) of UK companies whose employees drive for work purposes have no road safety policy in place, new research has revealed. The study by TomTom Telematics among senior managers at 400 UK businesses found a further 4% did not know whether their organisation had a defined policy. At the […]
Around 70% of British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) members and fleet managers believe that vehicle manufacturers have an obligation to provide vehicle data, with 86% saying that they should not have to pay for it.
That was one of the headline conclusions from this year’s BVRLA Fleet Technology Survey with the organisation saying that the findings provided “much-needed insight into the sector’s views on connected vehicle and driver data”.
BVRLA members and fleet managers shared their views on data access, control, protection, sharing and cost. In a separate questionnaire, drivers were asked about their attitudes on sharing data.
