Reducing fuel consumption

Fuel is often one of the biggest expenses for fleets, and costs can quickly spiral out of control if not kept in check. However, unlike traditional telematics, Lightfoot doesn’t require you to analyse endless reports or sift through huge chunks of data to keep on top of your fuel expenses. Instead, Lightfoot solves the issue in real-time, by training your drivers to handle their vehicles in more fuel-efficient ways.

Aggressive driving habits such as speeding, harsh braking, and rapid acceleration have a significant impact on fuel consumption. Lightfoot counteracts this by guiding your drivers towards a smoother driving style, training them to avoid driving at excessive speeds, to anticipate situations in advance to prevent unnecessary braking and acceleration, and to change gear swiftly to avoid going into high revs. Drivers will also be reminded to switch the engine off when the vehicle is not in use, helping to prevent fuel wastage from engine idling, which is a major factor in reducing fleet fuel costs.

Preventing costly maintenance

Preventing costly maintenance

Unscheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, and the unexpected vehicle downtime as a result are all contributors to rising operational costs and poor fleet productivity. The easiest way to avoid these unpredicted expenses is to make sure fleet vehicles are kept in peak condition for as long as possible.

Lightfoot’s fleet management technology addresses this in a myriad of ways. By curbing dangerous, damaging driving habits, Lightfoot is proven to reduce vehicle downtime by as much as 45%, as a smoother driving style results in less wear and tear on key components such as brakes, tyres, clutches, and suspension. Our in-app daily vehicle checklist also makes it quick and easy for drivers to assess vehicle health and flag any issues, whilst our automated maintenance reminders help you take a proactive approach to vehicle health and ensure any problems don’t go undetected for long.

Optimising electric vehicles

Optimising electric vehicles

Switching to EVs involves a steep outlay at the beginning but can help you reduce your operational costs and save money in the long run, as your business will slash fuel expenses and pay less for vehicle maintenance as there are fewer parts to maintain. Lightfoot can help you bolster these savings even more by delivering optimal EV performance every step of the way.

By coaching your drivers and developing new, cost-efficient driving habits, you’ll see average journey range extended by as much as 15%, helping to keep charging costs low and minimising the knock-on effects of any downtime from undercharged vehicles. A gentler driving style will also help to keep your EVs in top condition, reducing the likelihood of expensive repairs, which are typically costlier due to the new technology.

Streamlining expense management

Streamlining expense management

Managing expense claims can be a lengthy process, with plenty of margin for human error. Lightfoot’s automated expense management software does away with the admin-heavy paperwork, data analysis, and processing time and streamlines the entire system, making it easy for you to stay on top of expenses and lowering the risk of fraudulent claims.

Whether you’re wanting to reimburse drivers for fuel, domestic energy, public charging, or a combination of all three, our solutions help you do to so in a timely and accurate fashion. There will be no more lost receipts as drivers can easily log their expenses via the Lightfoot app, and journeys can be recorded as private or business for straightforward reporting, whilst EV charging expenses are marked as either home, work, or public. Fuel card data can also be integrated into your reports to allow you to swiftly recover any private mileage costs.

Lowering monthly rates

Lowering monthly rates

Many different factors go into the TCO (total cost of ownership) of a fleet, with unavoidable outgoings including vehicle insurance and leasing costs for any vehicles that are not owned outright. As a trusted risk management solution, Lightfoot can help you reduce your insurance claims and benefit from lower rental rates as our technology is recognised by many of the leading insurers, brokers, and leasing companies within the fleet sector for its ability to limit vehicle wear and tear and lower accident rates.

By opting for Lightfoot’s all-in-one fleet management solution, you can also save money on any existing telematics software, as the Lightfoot system will provide you with all the tools, data insights, and reporting insights you need to run your fleet effectively and efficiently, without the need for additional management programs.
