As a fleet manager, keeping track of a large team and managing multiple assets\u00a0<\/span>can be tough<\/span>. Add in remote working and it becomes even tougher.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a year of challenges, b<\/span>usinesses have\u00a0<\/span>finally\u00a0<\/span>started to find their feet with remote working<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and the possibility of<\/span>\u00a0many<\/span>\u00a0roles becoming permanently remote is now a reality.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So now that\u00a0<\/span>working from home<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is the new normal, how do you stay connected when your team are far flung?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Communication is Key<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keeping in touch with your team is one of the biggest challenges that remote working\u00a0<\/span>creates<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Thankfully, today\u2019s technology means that there are a whole host of tools<\/span>\u00a0at your disposal to keep communication<\/span>\u00a0open<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he most widely used<\/span>\u00a0are e<\/span>mail<\/span>\u00a0and mobile<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Usually \u2018as standard\u2019 for most businesses, they\u2019re g<\/span>reat to u<\/span>tilise<\/span>\u00a0on the go<\/span>\u00a0and most team members will already have them ready to use<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Make sure your phone has signal and is charged to ensure people can reach you when they need you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Software<\/span>\u00a0is your next port of call. Apps<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>like\u00a0<\/span>Slack<\/span><\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Microsoft Teams<\/span><\/i>\u00a0provide you with a\u00a0<\/span>vast\u00a0<\/span>suite of tools, from live chat to video conferencing\u00a0<\/span>and calendar scheduling<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>They<\/span>\u00a0work on both desktop and mobile, allowing you to connect quickly with your team wherever you are<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just make sure that you aren\u2019t overcompensating for the lack of in-person conversation<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0by scheduling too many meetings<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0as this can be detrimental to efficient daily working<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manage\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Your Team<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not based in the same\u00a0<\/span>working space<\/span>, i<\/span>t\u2019s a delicate balance to keep your team on track without micro-managing\u00a0<\/span>them<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting tasks and goals with clear deadlines and having weekly check-ins is a great<\/span>\u00a0way to keep on top of work being done without\u00a0<\/span>impeding\u00a0<\/span>progress with too many unscheduled meetings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s not easy, try to make sure your team have a dedicated working space at home where they can be undisturbed\u00a0<\/span>to ensure they\u2019re working efficiently.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep Operations Visible<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Managing assets\u00a0<\/span>can be a\u00a0<\/span>difficult<\/span>\u00a0task<\/span>\u00a0when you\u2019re working remotely. And i<\/span>f you\u2019re still using paper processes, you<\/span>\u00a0can\u00a0<\/span>fully\u00a0<\/span>appreciate<\/span>\u00a0how frustrating the lack of visibility can be.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

K<\/span>eep\u00a0<\/span>things\u00a0<\/span>running efficiently when you\u2019re not there in person<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by leveraging a comprehensive fleet management system.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he most cost-effective way to manage your fleet<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>cloud-based software<\/span>\u00a0will give you a live view over everything<\/span>\u00a0as it happens<\/span>, from fuel efficiency\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0workshop management<\/span>, a<\/span>llowing you to stay\u00a0<\/span>complian<\/span>t<\/span>\u00a0and utilis<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span>\u00a0drivers and as<\/span>sets<\/span>\u00a0effectively<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With\u00a0<\/span>our smart fleet management solutions<\/span>, you can access\u00a0<\/span>real-time\u00a0<\/span>analytics<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from anywhere in the world and integrate seamlessly with other app<\/span>lications<\/span>, giving you a centralised system that makes managing your fleet easy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the ability to\u00a0<\/span>organis<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>asset<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>maintenance<\/span>\u00a0on the go with\u00a0<\/span>our technician app<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and perform tasks in the field with our<\/span>\u00a0mobile app, this suite of tools keeps everything transparent while you\u2019re worki<\/span>n<\/span>g\u00a0<\/span>from home and\u00a0<\/span>helps you to get rid of paper processes\u00a0<\/span>while<\/span>\u00a0sav<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0hours of admin time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
