Managing a fleet of vehicles can be challenging, no matter of the fleet size or the purpose. Efficient fleet management refers to the measures taken to keep the fleet up and running at all the time with costs in check.

Increasing costs are a challenge in any business. Cost of managing an aging fleet is a massive challenge for the CIT & ATM Management companies and that means they need to identify and discard unnecessary expenses to make the fleet cost-efficient. Vehicle Maintenance Costs can quickly get out of control, so keeping on top of all the expenses is the key. This can mean regularly reviewing and reducing fuel consumption, managing efficient vehicle utilization, reducing downtime of vehicles, analyzing driver behavior, and performing more services in a shorter time window with less vehicles. CASHMILES can help CIT Companies get the insight they need to face this challenge through:
Tracking Fuel Consumption
One of the biggest challenges Cash in Transit Companies face is fluctuating fuel bills. These are often due to the pilferage /misuse of fuel. CASHMILES tracks the consumption/filling of fuel and evaluates the usage to see which routes/drivers deliver the most cost savings. In addition, CASHMILES can help you plan more efficient routes for your CIT and ATM teams so that they utilize less fuel.
Optimizing Vehicle Maintenance
Making sure vehicles are properly maintained is an ongoing task. CASHMILES ensures that preventative maintenance schedules are maintained to ensure that fleet vehicles are in good working. This allows fleets to run efficiently without unexpected breakdowns that can cause lost work and reduce fleet efficiencies.
Ensuring Compliance Requirements

Security checks, safety inspections, maintenance inspections are all documented in CASHMILES so that a full trail of information is available for audits. With the help of CASHMILES rest assure that no non-compliant vehicle will leave the base without the knowledge of the managers/supervisors. CASHMILES helps improve the efficiency of and increase visibility into your operations and you stay in compliance with Central Banks (CB) Regulations and Ministry of Interiors (MOI) regulations.
Accident Tracking
Accidents are always a major risk especially for cash businesses that depend on drivers’ behaviors and vehicles. Accidents can be a significant cost to your cash business, even more if there if an injury to crew is involved. When accidents happen, we need to ensure the appropriate actions are taken based on the severity of the accident, the extent of the damage to the van and injuries to the crew. These must be recorded and reported back so appropriate actions can be taken by management/supervisors. A proper automated reporting mechanism needs to be in place to help the drivers or the Team Leaders to handle and report the accident in accordance with the given guidelines efficiently and quickly. FMM provides the easy-to-use preset templates to help teams manage such an event.
