What’s important to you as a transport manager?

Driver recruitment and retention

Keep driver safety and well-being a top priority. Webfleet provides insights into driving data such as remaining driving times and driving behaviour. Our PRO Driver Terminals help support drivers in their daily tasks, such as digital order management and in-vehicle driver feedback. They'll stay engaged and motivated, helping you attract and keep qualified drivers.

Tachograph and drivers’ hours compliance

Webfleet Tachograph Manager automates time-consuming processes such as data downloads to make tachograph compliance simpler than ever. And by gaining extra visibility into drivers’ daily and weekly remaining driving times, you'll be able to optimise dispatch planning, maximise productivity while staying compliant and reduce the risk of fines.

Complex operational costs optimisation

Gain detailed insights to help identify where you can cut costs. With operational visibility all in one place, you can monitor your fleet’s utilisation–such as mileage and fuel consumption–in real time. As a transport manager you can also benchmark historical data to see patterns, identify anomalies and optimise operational costs.

Effective transport maintenance and management

Effective maintenance of your transport fleet

Webfleet helps transport managers to stay on top of repairs by creating automated maintenance tasks based on time, odometer or engine hours. Shift to preventive vehicle care with instant notifications about vehicle or engine malfunctions. With Webfleet TPMS, spot slow tyre pressure leaks before a driver possibly could. You can also digitise the daily vehicle inspection with the use of the vehicle check app. This helps you solve issues before they escalate into costly vehicle downtime.

Administrative time and optimal planning

Save valuable time by automating administrative tasks. Plan day-to-day logistics more efficiently, set more accurate delivery times and simplify the time spent on communication and compliance. Webfleet transport management software is also a scalable solution where you can integrate with existing applications or a range of integration partners.

Security and safety

As a transport manager you are always looking to improve the safety and security of your fleet. Webfleet transport management software will let you know the status of your vehicles and trailers 24/7 through real-time tracking, so you can act in time if theft or misuse is detected. Webfleet Video works in combination with AI-powered dashcams to help you increase safety and reduce claims.
