NORTH Lanarkshire Council is transforming the management of its 600 strong fleet following the roll-out of a new system. A move to paperless working, the system from Freeway Fleet Systems sees workshop mechanics equipped with rugged tablet devices with a mobile app providing digital job cards and inspection sheets.
Managing a large local authority is complex as vehicles are operated by different departments, this includes refuse vehicles, buses, ride on grass cutting machinery, cars and vans. Freeway will also be used to manage over 1,000 other assets such as plant and power tools.
Previously North Lanarkshire relied on spreadsheets and paper records.
The council introduced Freeway in 2022 and with the help of Freeway’s software implementation specialists Genie Insights, data was transferred from spreadsheets, with paper reports replaced by digital versions.
