Every fleet is at risk of facing a few unexpected frights. Vehicles vanish, fines appear from nowhere, and the paperwork pile never seems to shrink. It’s all part of keeping things moving — but with the right tools in place, none of it has to turn into a full-blown nightmare.Here are some of the biggest fleet frights Kiwi businesses face, and how Fleetpin helps keep them under control.The Phantom DriverWhen unauthorised drivers take your vehicles for a spin, it’s enough to make your skin crawl. Whether it’s a staff member’s unlicensed mate borrowing a ute without proper authorisation, or someone on the team hopping in the wrong vehicle, it can lead to confusion, risk, and unexpected costs. Especially when that phantom driver whizzes past a speed camera or a parking ticket turns up in the mail. The unwanted admin cuts deep, not to mention the risk of insurance claims being declined…With Fleetpin’s Driver ID and Unauthorised Driver Alerts add-on, you’ll always know who’s driving what. Fleetpin notifies you the moment a vehicle is operated without a driver being signed in or by someone who isn’t authorised to be behind that wheel — giving you full visibility and more control to avoid those Phantom Drivers.The Speed DemonA heavy foot can be more of a curse than just costing you extra fuel and a nasty speeding fine. It increases wear and tear costs, insurance costs and repair costs while also driving up risk with ghastly consequences from employee injuries leading to time off work.Fleetpin’s Overspeed reports help you identify risky driving before it becomes a bigger issue by reporting on drivers going over legal speed limits, geofenced location limits, or a fixed speed limit that you set. By monitoring speed, you can nip it in the bud, before the Speed Demon causes misery…The Disappearing ActMissing gear or stolen vehicles can turn any day into a nightmare. One moment your assets are where they should be, and the next, they’ve vanished into thin air like “Ghost Chips”. Resulting in horrifying insurance procedures, and blood letting downtime while your asset is waiting to be replaced.With Fleetpin, you don’t need to call the Ghostbuster’s, you can see every vehicle, machine, and asset’s activity in real time. Our Anti-Theft/Anti Tamper Alerts add-on allows you to set up 24/7 monitoring so you can get notified of any movement, vehicle activity, battery tampering, or interference with your GPS device. Quick alerting and visibility of ghost’s activity means fast asset recovery, and the execution of further disappearing acts by the same thieving zombies.The Admin AbyssOutdated regos, expired RUCs, or missed maintenance and servicing creeping up on you? Those kinds of oversights can cause more than a fright, they can stop your operations in their tracks. Avoid being pulled into the admin abyss, where missed renewals and messy spreadsheets lurk.Fleetpin’s NZTA Sync add-on automatically keeps your compliance details up to date within the platform. Combined with setting up Reminders, you’ll stay on top of regos, WoFs, RUC, CoFs, and maintenance schedules all from one place, without the admin black hole. No more manual data entry into those dreaded spreadsheets.A Fleetpin Fix for Every FrightEvery fleet has its frights, but they don’t have to be nightmares.
