Government fleets operate on razor thin margins. Every drop of fuel used and each extra minute of idling adds to the budget of their organisation, whether it’s local, state or federal. DIRECTOR helps closely monitor and manage vehicle utilisation data easily. This can include idle time, harsh braking, and unauthorised vehicle use. By connecting this data to budgetary plans, government entities can eliminate inefficiencies that drag down their operations.

Another cost factor might be the sharing of one pool of vehicles between multiple business units. If data shows that one group accounts for a majority portion of usage on its own, all business units can't be expected to pay equally for the resource. Teletrac Navman's pool vehicle management solution allows governments to be equitable about who pays for what and can be used to on-bill vehicle usage costs to clients.

The Work Health and Safety Act (2011) requires government fleets to have a work, health and safety policy in place. This means that every individual in an organisation is responsible and must be pro-active in identifying and mitigating risks. DIRECTOR enables government fleets to comply with work, health and safety legislations with the following features:

• Monitoring and managing driver behaviour such as speeding & harsh braking
• Setting up alerts after travelling a set distance to schedule regular maintenance checks
• Constant two-way communication with drivers even in remote areas with satellite communication

DIRECTOR provides government fleets a vehicle-by-vehicle breakdown of CO2 emissions for regulatory tracking. The report also shows to the cent how much fuel each vehicle consumes to help track against budget. DIRECTOR helps monitor these reports organised by day, month, year, and by individual vehicle type. DIRECTOR also shows trends over time for fuel use and emissions, helping identify problem vehicles and drivers.
