A modern fleet management system for all company cars. Integration with the leasing company, automatic congestion tax management and a replacement for Volvo on-call. That was the challenge IF Metall laid out for Infobric on the negotiating table in the summer of 2020. Several months later, we met up with Carl Stern, IF Metall Representative for the Stockholm Region, to see if we had managed to live up to the challenge.\n\n<\/p>\n \"\" <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Increased control and security<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Carl works a representative at IF Metall\u2019s Stockholm Regional Office and is using the new system. While he doesn\u2019t have responsibility for the vehicle fleet or vehicle policy, he did play a major role in the new fleet management system.<\/p>

\u201cI was involved in the supplier selection process where my input involved \u201cmodern thinking\u201d since I\u2019m interested in digital services. I was also the first person here to implement the system.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

New vehicle fleet, new opportunities<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For IF Metall, choosing to switch its vehicle fleet from Volvo to Toyota meant they would no longer have access to the Volvo on-call service which they had previously used for travel management. Carl talks about the ideas behind finding a new supplier.<\/p>

\u201cWe started off by taking a look at what services were out there on the market. At the same time, we didn\u2019t just want a new driver\u2019s log, we wanted a more full-package service with automatic functions that could really make life easier for our employees. It was also important that the system was easy to use and required minimum effort from us every month. Ultimately, we went for Infobric.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

More than just a driver\u2019s log<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are the other functions that you are using most at IF Metall?<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cThe working hours filter is something we are all using now. What it does is that all trips made on certain days and within certain time periods are automatically registered as business trips. It really saves all of us a lot of time.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cSince we\u2019re driving a lot around Stockholm itself, there are lots of times when we\u2019re travelling in congestion tax zones, so the congestion tax management function is important for us. All trips, both private and business, are registered with a time, place and cost, making it easier to get an overview at the end of each month.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThe integration with CarPay Fleet has also been very smooth. Once a driver approves the month in his app, the data is transferred directly to the leasing company. Since we run on a split fuel-time system, drivers get an invoice for their private fuel consumption separately. The result is that now every driver has just 30 seconds of work to do each month, not several hours.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Quick implementation<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Another important reason behind the choice of supplier was the fact that it needed to be possible for every employee to install the system and get to grips with it. Time was therefore set aside for a digital walkthrough during the onboarding process.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cIt had to be easy to use, otherwise it wasn\u2019t going to be worth it. We are an organization that has all sorts of different personalities and knowledge when it comes to computers. Everyone installed the system themselves and everything went off without a hitch despite the mixed levels of IT knowledge.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n \"A digital system of connected vehicles can do so much more than just register the number of miles. We wanted lots of smart functions.\"\n <\/blockquote>\n \n \u2013 Carl Stern, Representative, IF Metall <\/cite>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Expert-level integrity<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

IF Metall is a trade union that sometimes receives questions regarding integrity, especially when it comes to connected vehicles. Usually, this means reviewing the purpose of introducing a system, and most serious suppliers should have a solution that can be adapted as necessary. Staff at IF Metall were positive about introducing the system and only saw benefits.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe spend less time sitting and writing up driver\u2019s logs and it\u2019s all a lot smoother than it used to be. People have been using it for a while now and the feedback is only ever positive. All they have to do is make a few simple adjustments every month via the app.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Volvo on-call or Infobric\u2019s Driver\u2019s Log?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Infobric for sure. The user-friendliness of the app alone helps us save time which we can then devote to proper stuff. We\u2019re really saving on time costs.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In conclusion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cEverybody has a right not only to a safe workplace and good working environment, but also to smart digital functions that make everyday life easier \u2013 Fair means fair!\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
