We could all do with making our working lives a little easier. But simplifying processes doesn’t mean cutting corners or reducing productivity—in fact, the opposite is often true. When your workflows are easier to manage, your team can focus on getting more done with less hassle. Yet many businesses are still tied to outdated, manual systems, adding unnecessary complexity to everyday tasks. This is where ForWare Fleet Management comes in. By going digital, you can transform the way your fleet operates, streamline administration, and make life significantly easier for managers and drivers alike.
One of the biggest productivity drains in fleet management is the job authorisation process. Traditionally, this involves multiple phone calls, back-and-forth emails, and plenty of delays. With ForWare, authorising work is effortless. Fleet managers receive instant notifications on any device whenever a work request is submitted. Approvals, amendments, or requests for additional information can be handled in seconds—no more missed calls or delays.
Additionally, ForWare allows you to set pre-approved limits and designate colleagues as approvers, ensuring that authorisations keep moving even if you’re away. The result? Faster decision-making and smoother operations across your fleet.
Vehicle Health Checks (VHCs) used to be paper-heavy and prone to miscommunication. Mechanics would hand check sheets to service advisors, who then had to interpret the notes before explaining them to customers—a time-consuming and often confusing process.
With ForWare, this process is fully digitised. Mechanics can record Video VHCs, highlighting defects and providing a full explanation, including parts and labour costs. These videos are sent directly to fleet managers or customers, giving clear, visual proof of the vehicle’s condition. This feature boosts transparency, reduces misunderstandings, and saves significant administrative time using one of ForWare’s DMS integrations
Digging through boxes of service records and job cards to validate warranties or maintenance compliance is a thing of the past. ForWare stores all fleet records digitally, allowing you to access any vehicle’s service history instantly, even if services were performed at different ForWare Network garages.
Need proof of maintenance for a warranty claim or an audit? It’s all at your fingertips. This instant access saves time, reduces stress, and keeps your fleet compliant with manufacturer guidelines and CVRT/MOT or NCT requirements.
Going digital is not just about converting paper documents into PDFs—it’s about simplifying your entire workflow. Traditional fleet management often involves juggling countless invoices, particularly when vehicles are serviced at multiple locations.
ForWare consolidates all invoices into one monthly statement, regardless of the number of vehicles or workshops involved. This streamlines accounting, reduces errors, and frees up valuable time for both fleet managers and finance teams.
Digitising your fleet management system is more than just a convenience—it’s a productivity booster. With ForWare, you can:
In short, ForWare transforms fleet operations, making them faster, more efficient, and far easier to manage. The real question isn’t why you should go digital—it’s why haven’t you gone digital already?
