Mobile devices are now at the center of our business and personal worlds. Removing the need for paper trails and heavy desk-chained equipment, mobile devices have been pivotal in streamlining operations, and the suite of apps available for fleets continues to expand.

Adding fleet app solutions to your toolbox is a great way to increase the scope and flexibility of your fleet management. At Motia, we are experts in fleet management solutions and have a host of fleet apps that are the perfect addition to any management tool suite.

1. Mileage Expenses

Motia Mileage Expenses is a one-stop app for mileage tracking and reporting. The features include:

Mileage Tracking

Mileage Expenses offers flexibility in how your fleet tracks business miles. You can use the smartphone app (Android and iOS) for manual recording, or leverage telematics with our Motia Telematics system for automatic mileage capture. The app also allows drivers to easily separate business and personal trips using a “Privacy Button” feature.

Mileage Reporting

Once trips are recorded, drivers can upload the data to the Mileage Expenses platform for review. They can verify if the business/personal mileage separation is accurate before submission.

After upload, managers can access the Mileage Expenses online portal to review and approve mileage claims. The system can generate reports for easy record-keeping and potential submissions to payroll, managers, or accountants.

Benefits of Motia Mileage Expenses

  1. Saves Time: Mileage Expenses automates much of the mileage tracking and reporting process, saving time for both drivers and managers.
  2. Reduces Errors: Automatic data capture with our iBeacon or through Motia Telematics and clear separation of business/personal miles minimises the risk of errors in mileage claims.
  3. Improves Compliance: Accurate mileage records ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.

2. Motia Pump Locator

The Motia Pump Locator uses GPS to pinpoint your current location and displays nearby petrol stations within the Motia network.

You can filter your search results based on various criteria, such as:

  • Fuel Card Acceptance: Ensure the station accepts your specific Motia fuel card.
  • Opening Hours: Narrow down options to stations open at your desired time, including 24-hour stations.
  • HGV Suitability: If you drive a large HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle), you can find stations specifically equipped to facilitate larger vehicles.

Benefits of Pump Locator

  1. Saves Time and Money: Quickly locating fuel stations, especially those accepting your fuel card, reduces wasted time and detours, potentially saving on fuel costs.
  2. Convenience: The app provides a user-friendly interface for finding fuel stations on the go, eliminating the need to search manually.
  3. Trip Planning Efficiency: Plan your journey with refuelling stops in mind, ensuring a smoother driving experience.

3. Motia Vehicle Safety Checks

Streamlining vehicle safety checks, Motia's solution boasts a comprehensive library of vehicle check templates that comply with various industry standards. These cover a wide range of vehicles, ensuring you have the right checklist for each one. You can further customise the checklists or create entirely new ones specific to your fleet’s needs.

Drivers can add photos and notes to document any problems or observations during the vehicle check, ensuring comprehensive documentation on file and keeping the business’ and drivers’ backs covered.

Streamlined Data Management

All hosted on a convenient app, drivers can conduct and record vehicle checks using the Vehicle Safety Checks app on their smartphones. All completed vehicle checks are then automatically uploaded to the cloud-based Vehicle Safety Checks platform, meaning data is stored safely and securely, where it can be accessed efficiently when required.

Managers have access to a user-friendly dashboard where they can view and monitor all vehicle check data in one central location.

Benefits of Motia Vehicle Safety Checks

  1. Improved Safety: Regular and thorough vehicle checks help identify potential problems before they lead to breakdowns or accidents, promoting overall fleet safety.
  2. Enhanced Compliance: Motia Vehicle Safety Checks helps businesses comply with legal requirements for maintaining safe vehicles, particularly for commercial fleets in the UK.
  3. Efficiency and Time Saving: The app streamlines the vehicle check process, saving time for both drivers and managers.
  4. Data-Driven Insights: Consolidated data from vehicle checks allows managers to identify recurring issues and take preventive maintenance measures.
