Jaama is committed to helping businesses become more efficient, reducing downtime and automating what would otherwise be arduous manual tasks for operational managers. A new Microlise report revealed that transport and logistics managers spend an average of 1.7 hours per day on these manual tasks, costing their employers more than £50,000 per year.
This report, ‘Standing at the Crossroads: A Crucial Moment for UK Logistics’, highlights just how much time is being lost through inefficient processes. Managing fleet compliance, vehicle inspections, accident records and driver data can quickly become overwhelming, particularly if you’re using various platforms and relying on manual inputs.
In fact, the report found that 70% of customer complaints can be traced back to human error, often making mistakes that are unavoidable when managers simply don’t have the time to be meticulous. Automation is key to delivering a compliant and safe fleet, ensuring vital checks aren’t missed and vehicles remain roadworthy. Every action has a digital record, and any issues with compliance, such as an MOT being missed or a problem identified during a driver’s daily checks, are immediately flagged to the fleet manager.
By bringing fleet, driver and vehicle data together in one place, Jaama makes day-to-day management far simpler. Instead of re-entering the same information across different systems or turning the office upside down in search of paper documents, everything is centralised and automated.
Key2, Jaama’s award-winning fleet management software, takes care of the admin by digitising compliance records, running automated checks and giving managers real-time visibility, so decisions can be made quickly and accurately.
The Microlise findings also point to a wider challenge, with only 40% of managers currently using integrated systems, while the rest struggle with multiple interfaces or no integration at all. Without a centralised solution, it becomes difficult not just to maintain compliance, but also to track environmental impact (60% of fleets admitting they don’t monitor this at all!).
Jaama helps address these gaps by providing both the oversight and automation needed to futureproof fleet operations. From reducing downtime to improving data accuracy, our platform gives managers the opportunity to focus on driving strategic improvements across their business.
Mark Francis, Chief Product Officer at Jaama, said: “Transport managers are under enormous pressure to deliver results while juggling compliance, safety and cost efficiency. What this report highlights is just how much valuable time is still being lost to outdated processes. At Jaama, we believe that by automating routine tasks for fleet data, managers can spend less time on paperwork and more time driving their businesses forward.”
