Managing a fleet of hundreds or thousands of units, comprised of a mix of vehicles and equipment is not an easy task. Adding to the complexity is a list of government mandated procedures and budgetary constraints that impede the ability to react to issues with agility and ease. Government fleet managers have a fine line to balance between administering a fleet and managing the governmental constraints imposed upon them, making the longevity of their fleet a critical part of their job.
BorgSolutions’ Astral™ is the first Fleet Intelligence Platform™ built to understand the complexities of fleet management and the importance of maintenance in the extension of each mission-critical unit’s lifespan. As a web-based software service priced per user, not asset unit, Astral is able to accommodate fleets of all sizes within a small administrative budget. Helping fleet managers automate the day-to-day administration of their fleet by: improving labor productivity, increasing efficiency, reducing inventory expenses, optimizing asset utilization and reducing maintenance expenditure within an administrative friendly budget.
To be of true benefit to a fleet manager, whose daily challenges in operation include the maintenance of equipments and/or vehicles, shop scheduling, replacement analysis, personnel administration, acquisitions and disposition, automation is the only answer. With Astral, raw data about each asset, such as: odometer readings, age of assets, maintenance schedules and other key factors, are “digested” to pre-populates action items in the form of work orders, purchase orders and reports.
Astral provides fleet managers with greater understanding into their day-to-day operations thru its reporting capabilities. Providing customers better analytical capabilities for: program performance and cost analysis, strategic planning, personnel evaluation, asset utilization, and risk management.
Understanding that compliance administration is also a large part of a fleet manager’s daily tasks, Astral is able to help them handle many types of compliance requirements including: certifications, registration renewals, mileage reporting, inspections and more.
By reducing administrative time and increasing productivity, Astral reduces the overall cost of fleet operations. Astral streamlines the management of work orders, labor allocation (for internal workshops), inventory levels, external suppliers (for quote requests) and purchase order processing. The software is even able to provide insight into operator/driver data for identification of vehicular or equipment abuse and rogue drivers.
