Biggest takeaways from Jaama’s fleet compliance & cost benchmark report

March 2, 2026

Jaama’s benchmark report highlights a widening gap between fleets that are operationally disciplined and those still relying on manual processes. The themes closely echo the priorities CEO Andrew Holgate discussed with FleetWise in his recent Fleet1000 interview.

Compliance and cost now move together

Top performing fleets no longer treat compliance as admin. They build it into daily workflows.

As Andrew told us, “Compliance is existential. If it is not built into the system, it becomes a constant risk.”

The report shows fleets with automated licence checks, service tracking and policy enforcement experience fewer compliance breaches and less reactive cost escalation.

Disconnected systems create hidden inefficiency

Many operators still manage fleet through spreadsheets or siloed tools. The report finds these fleets spend more time reconciling data and responding to issues after the fact.

Fleets using integrated platforms report clearer visibility across vehicles, drivers and suppliers, reducing duplication and improving response times.

Data must lead to action, not just reports

The strongest fleets move beyond dashboards. They use systems that flag anomalies, highlight utilisation drift and enforce policy automatically.

As Andrew put it, “There is a difference between software that demos well and software that runs tens of thousands of vehicles without failing on a Tuesday morning.”

Governance is rising up the agenda

Board level visibility, audit trails and defensible data are becoming standard expectations, particularly in regulated sectors.

Jaama’s Key2 platform, recognised as a Highly Recommended brand in the FleetWise 100 Most Trusted Shortlist 2025, is positioned around these principles with compliance embedded, workflows connected and operational resilience built in.
