Many businesses throughout the UK are using vehicles that require maintenance and servicing at scheduled intervals, whether that is based on mileage or dates, which are specified by the manufacturer. The majority of vehicle manufacturers insist on vehicle service dates being met, should a vehicle owner fail to meet the specified date it can result in voiding the standard manufacturer’s warranty. In turn, these can lead to companies incurring substantial costs if one of their vehicles requires repair or maintenance work and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

In addition, there are many companies that choose to lease their vehicles rather than purchase them. Generally most vehicle leasing agreements have an annual mileage limit that is specified when negotiating the contract, for example 12000 miles per year. Should a vehicle exceed their annual mileage allowance most lease companies will charge usually around 4-6 pence per additional mile. Vehicles that substantially exceed their agreed mileage limits can result in significant costs being incurred by the company.

Fleet Insight is a software solution developed by Pregem. The fleet management module within Fleet Insight allows companies to enter their vehicles service intervals and annual mileage limits. Using the latest GPS tracking technology, Fleet Insight monitors a vehicles mileage and is able to provide email alerts to both drivers and managers to ensure that their vehicles are serviced on time and do not exceed their mileage limits.
