Leading fleet and asset management software company Jaama is exhibiting at the London Borough of Redbridge 2016 Transport Conference with the focus on compliance.
Organised in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, the annual event is being held on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at Ilford.
The event is in its sixth year with conference speakers addressing the current and future compliance challenges faced by fleet managers, whether operating commercial vehicles, company cars or ‘grey fleet’ vehicles.
Cost management and compliance are critical for public as well as private sector organisations which is why an ever-increasing number of fleet decision-makers are turning to Jaama’s multi-award winning software to manage their drivers and transport operations as well as a multitude of other assets.
Jaama has promoted a ‘spend to save’ philosophy to the public sector with its core Key2 Vehicle Management software delivering online flexibility, touch screen technology, in depth management reporting and across-department integration and accessibility.
Key2 delivers the ability to manage fleet vehicles, drivers, plant equipment and workshops and to integrate with software used by other local authority departments, including human resources and finance. On the Jaama stand in the event’s exhibition arena, delegates will be able to glean a comprehensive insight into the cutting-edge Key2 system with modules including Risk Profile and Licence2Check.
Businesses have just a few weeks to complete their first mandatory audit to meet the government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), which includes reporting on company cars, vans and trucks as well as privately-owned vehicles driven on work-related trips.
Critical to accurately calculating the amount of energy used by vehicles on business-related journeys are detailed fuel purchasing and mileage records, although the government has said ‘averages’ and ‘suitable assumptions’ can be used.
Data captured by Seven Asset Management on every aspect of a vehicle’s in-life operation enables the company to obtain absolute visibility of all issues linked to mileage and service, maintenance and repair (SMR) to ensure clients’ fleets function at maximum efficiency and meet all regulatory requirements.

The government has launched its annual festive season campaign to tackle drink-driving, this year targeting those who do not recognise that even a small number of drinks before setting off on a journey can be deadly.
It urges everyone to THINK! before drinking and driving and highlights how a second drink can double the chance of being in a fatal collision.
New research from Department for Transport campaign group THINK! shows that while half the population (51%) would not consider consuming any alcoholic drinks before driving, one in 10 people (10%) would consider having two or more drinks before getting behind the wheel. The figure increases to one in five among men aged 18 to 34 (19%).

The government is retaining the 3% diesel company car benefit-in-kind tax supplement until April 2021, thus reversing a decision announced in the 2012 Budget.
