Forestry and Land Scotland is implementing a new cloud software platform from Civica to transform its fleet compliance, uptime and safety.
It’s deploying the TranSend fleet management cloud software across 700+ vehicles, large machinery and 3,000+ pieces of equipment under a new multi-year partnership.
The new platform will ensure that all assets are legally compliant and well-maintained to minimise unnecessary fleet downtime, reduce the number of breakdowns, and meet Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency health and safety standards.
TranSend Fleet Management’s real-time dashboards will provide comprehensive data to keep the fleet optimised and improve decision-making. It will be configured to ensure all staff can access the right information at the right time, including vehicle statuses, maintenance schedules and whole-life vehicle costs.
The move to the cloud will also manage mobile working across depots and workshops.
Tommy Groat, head of mechanical engineering at Forestry Land Scotland, said: “With an extensive fleet of vehicles, machines and equipment operating across the whole of Scotland, it is imperative that we manage these assets optimally in order to deliver the best value for the public purse and to ensure that we meet all of our obligations as a Scottish Government agency.
“With TranSend we expect to achieve that and greatly improve and streamline our processes.”
Keith Hawker, divisional managing director, transport at Civica, added: “We are highly experienced at meeting the diverse transport needs of public sector organisations. By significantly automating processes, our new partnership with Forestry and Land Scotland will save administration time, manage fleet compliance with ease and increase driver and workshop productivity.”
