Driver Management System

What is Driver Management system?

Driver Management system is a process of ordering driver duties into sequences or managing fleet drivers to ensure a balanced work allocation and to ensure the productivity and safety of the drivers involved.
 

Some of the key elements of a Driver Management system are as follows:

• Transparent Process of allocation of Duty to the Driver, ensuring sufficient turn around time between trip allocations
  
• Driver should be notified in real time so that they can plan their trips efficiently
  
• Process of sharing pick up or drop roster with the drivers
  
• Provision to inform the executives once the Driver is about to reach
  
• Feedback process for Executives and Drivers once the trip is completed
  
• Transparent way of tracking the trip for the route travelled, monitoring overspeed and over stoppages at locations
  
• Tracking against the scheduled pickup and drop time and the actual pickup and drop time
  
• Tracking against the distance travelled and fuel usage to ensure business productivity from the transactions
  
• Reports to ensure that all the critical actors of the Driver Management system are informed on the process efficiencies like Driver Supervisor, Drivers, Management Teams etc.
  
• Tracking gratifications for Drivers and Payouts for Trips and Reconciliations
  
• Process to make sure the reimbursements for tolls, parkings are accounted in trips
  
• Process to make sure that the service and repair maintenance is taken care off.
  

Generally businesses and driver management or fleet management companies focus on fleet but fail to focus on efficient driver management system and end up managing driver related process manually or through excel sheet. This process leads to lot of delay and is error prone.
