As SMS Energy's fleet grew to more than 560 vehicles, the company recognised that paper-based processes were limiting efficiency and visibility.
By adopting FleetCheck's fleet management platform, the business centralised key fleet information, improved driver engagement and strengthened its audit trail across the operation.
The results have been significant. SMS Energy estimates that clearer management of hire vehicle damage alone now saves around £19,000 each year. The company also maintains a 79% First Notice of Loss rate, described by its insurer as "best in class", while managing almost £180,000 of annual PCN activity with greater confidence and accuracy.
Beyond the financial benefits, the move has given the fleet team greater visibility of vehicle checks, maintenance records, accident reporting, fuel data and compliance information through a single platform.
For growing fleets, the case study highlights how better visibility can support stronger operational control and more informed decision-making.
