ALD Automotive and The Miles Consultancy (TMC) have launched a new data reporting solution to help clients manage their fleet on a global scale.

The platform enables businesses to develop fleet strategies based on real-world information

Co-developed with international corporate clients, the Global Fleet Inventory (GFI) platform distils fleet management data from multiple sources, including third-party data, into a single personalised dashboard.

The targeted data can monitor global fleets on a monthly basis, from vehicle models and energy/fuel consumption to overall mileage and total cost of ownership. Fleet can also drill down for analysis on a regional, country and contract basis. And specific environmental criteria can be deployed, enabling fleet managers to see CO2 output, managing their environmental footprint and realigning fleet policies with Corporate Social Responsibility requirements.

“When co-designing GFI with our clients and TMC, our goal was to simplify the data consolidation process and facilitate analysis with a truly global approach,” said Annie Pin, chief commercial officer at ALD. “It is imperative that our global clients have a clear and concise overview of how their fleet is performing on an on-going basis wherever they are present and TMC’s expertise allows this to be done neutrally and confidentially for all concerned. GFI will play an integral role in ensuring that our clients are armed with the data they need to achieve operational excellence on a global scale.”

The data can be used in many ways; to optimise management strategies based on comprehensive data analysis or to explore new market opportunities, such as the potential for vehicle electrification, or the introduction of new mobility alternatives.

Paul Hollick, managing director of The Miles Consultancy, continued: “Now more than ever, visibility of fleet data is fundamental to the successful management of fleets and this product enables operators to see how their fleet is performing across the globe via a single suite of dashboards. The information is particularly beneficial for those that wish to develop fleet strategies based on real-world information which will deliver both cost-saving and carbon-reduction programmes, including the full transition to electric vehicles globally.”

GFI is available now for all global clients of the ALD Automotive | Wheels Global Alliance.
