How route optimisation can reduce costs and risk for construction companies

Feb 8, 2022

Route optimisation for construction companies 

Construction companies are excellent at controlling the cost and risks of building – but do you control the costs and risks of your vehicle fleets? There are five key reasons you should: 

  • Driving is the most dangerous activity your workers will do each day. Minimise their mileage to save lives, lower your collision exposure and reduce the impact of insurance increases
  • There’s often a disconnect between the expertise you bring to your construction activity and the expertise available for fleet management – especially when many workers keep vans at home or you use subcontractor fleets. Fleet management tools are essential to safety, to cost control and to productivity.
  • Your workers are professionals – but are they professional drivers? One in three UK fatalities involves an at-work driver. Make sure every vehicle journey is essential and as short and efficient as it can be.
  • HSE has just published new guidance on at work road risk. The starting point of every risk assessment must be: is this journey as short or as well planned as it can be?
  • Ensuring every journey is as short or as efficient as it can be cuts fleet costs and boosts profits. Save fuel, vehicle wear and tear, workers’ time, uninsured loss and offer better delivery on contracts.
