Benchmarking tool enables fleets to compare data for the first time

Driving for Better Business has launched a new fleet benchmarking tool, which was demonstrated to Fleet200 executive club members for the first time at a virtual meeting on March 30.

The online tool is funded by the Department for Transport and has been developed in partnership with Roadsafe and Fleet News.

It’s a first of its kind system and will enable organisations of all sizes to compare and contrast their safety and environmental performance against others in the same sector, giving them vital insight to improve their fleet operations.

“It's a question a lot of you are already being asked by your management teams, how do we compare to others? And actually, that's quite a difficult question to answer,” said Andy Price, director of Fleet Safety Management.

Users can input data in two ways. Firstly, a small amount of high-level data can be inputted to give a quick snapshot of what a fleet looks like. This includes fleet size, mileage and the total number of claims and repairs.

Fleets can also input more in-depth data, including costs associated with maintenance and fuel, for even greater analysis.
