MMUST Deploys a Comprehensive Fleet Management System to Enhance Operational Efficiency
Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) has successfully deployed a comprehensive Fleet Management System, developed by Something Computers, to streamline the management of its growing fleet of vehicles. The new system integrates various essential modules, enhancing efficiency and providing real-time data across multiple departments. This move is aimed at improving vehicle documentation, maintenance schedules, financial tracking, and fleet operations across the university.
Key features of the system include automated document management, which tracks vehicle and driver licenses and sends alerts before expiration. It is fully integrated with MMUST’s finance module, allowing seamless multi-currency tracking of fleet-related expenses such as fuel, repairs, and maintenance. Additionally, the logistics module optimizes vehicle route planning and consignment tracking, ensuring that the fleet is used efficiently for university operations.
The system also integrates tyre management, fuel tracking, and maintenance modules, ensuring that tyres are inspected and replaced on time, and that fuel usage is closely monitored. With automated job cards and repair tracking, the system helps reduce vehicle downtime by ensuring timely maintenance and repairs. The legal and accident management features provide a centralized platform for tracking accidents and legal cases related to the fleet, ensuring compliance with regulations.
Moreover, the Fleet Management System offers integration with MMUST’s HR and payroll systems, enabling efficient management of driver records, working hours, and compensation. The system’s trip analysis and journey logs provide valuable insights into fleet performance, helping to optimize fuel consumption, reduce operational costs, and improve vehicle utilization. Customized reports ensure that the system can be tailored to meet the specific needs of MMUST.
With the implementation of the Fleet Management System, MMUST is set to achieve greater operational efficiency and cost savings. By automating various manual processes and providing real-time data, the system ensures better resource management, reduces errors, and enables data-driven decision-making. This deployment reflects MMUST’s commitment to embracing technology for improved operational management and resource optimization.
