Jaama Keeps Fleets Safe With New Defect Manager System
Jaama, the award-winning Tamworth based fleet software company and occupational road safety specialist has launched a commercial vehicle defect logging reporting tool. This falls in line with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) recommendation that commercial vehicle operators have such a system in place.
Key2 Defect Manager is a new web portal within Jaama’s fleet management system but has the additional flexibility of being accessed remotely via a personal digital assistant (PDA). This technology provides transport and depot managers with an online check list that can be used to complete a comprehensive walk-round appraisal of all vehicles as frequently as they wish.
One of the first Jaama’s customers to go live with Defect Manager will be SIG Plc, the Sheffield-based international supplier to the construction and building markets, which has long been a client and colloborater on testing and developing the functionality of such new technology for Jaama. The international courier and logistics company DHL has also had input on the testing of the new system and is also set to benefit.
The technology has been developed in conjunction with a number of customers including international courier and logistics company DHL and SIG Plc, which is a long-time client and a partner in developing and testing new functionality.
Jaama managing director Jason Francis said: “Defect Manager has been developed at the request of customers. With a massive corporate focus on occupational road risk management, many companies believe that it is essential that they have a thorough vehicle audit trail in place.
“Defect Manager covers every imaginable part of a vehicle including fluid levels, lighting, brakes, tyres and bodywork to ensure that managers have the very latest information on the condition of every single vehicle on their fleet.
“Where defects are recorded a maintenance record will be created and reminders will be issued until the work is completed.
“We have spent more than £5million developing Key2 Vehicle Management and new modules that we are adding use the latest technology to make fleet administration easier for fleet managers and ensuring maximum legislative compliance. It can be very easy for a busy transport manager to allow what could be a routine maintenance issue to slip through the net.”
