In today’s increasingly connected world, businesses are under constant pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain a competitive edge. Integrating telematics with IoT (Internet of Things) devices and sensors has emerged as a groundbreaking solution, revolutionising how businesses monitor, manage, and optimise their operations. This powerful combination provides real-time data, predictive insights, and automation capabilities that transform decision-making and drive sustainable growth.

Businesses relying on fleets face constant challenges to stay efficient and competitive. Accessing real-time data and acting on it immediately is no longer just an advantage—it’s a necessity. Mobile management tools paired with real-time notifications revolutionise fleet management by ensuring managers are always connected and empowered to make critical decisions anytime, anywhere. Not only is this way of working creating seamless operations, it acts as a safety precaution if fleet drivers are affected by fatigue or other conditions that may cause them harm on the roads and to those around them. At Single Source, safety is at the core of everything we do, so having this Managers App (and soon the accompanying Drivers App) is a game changer for our clients. This blog explores why this technology matters and how it can implement not only safety measures but create a seamless system between drivers and manager communication.

Rapid growth can often be a conundrum for SMEs. While the expansion is a cause to celebrate, it's not without issues. As teams expand and new members join, the strain on existing systems becomes increasingly apparent. To navigate this challenge, you need a reliable partner to help you make data-driven decisions and optimise your operations. Single Source Solutions is here to empower your business and drive sustainable growth.

Pitting your organisation against the industry is one thing, but striving beyond industry standards and excelling in all areas of the business is what an organisation should be focusing on. Now knowing the benchmark, it’s time to ensure that you have created your own KPIs and goals that you can internally compete with month on month, year on year. Being aware of competitors is healthy, however, putting on the blinders and beating your best is how you will create continual success for your organisation. There is a sense of extreme ownership when you approach business accountability in this way and to ensure that you are maintaining standards and continually improving, you will need to lean on scorecards. Within this article, we break down what scorecards are, their function, and the benefits of using them.

We specialise in data aggregation, but what exactly does that mean for you and our clients? While it’s impressive that our software can gather and consolidate data into a cohesive package, without reason, it becomes a large “so what?”.

Automated reporting can put hours back into your day. If you’re still relying on spreadsheets, pivot tables, and manually collecting data for your reports, it’s time to consider a more efficient approach. Imagine reducing the time spent on data collection and presentation, allowing you to focus on analysing and acting on the insights. With automated reporting, you can streamline your workflow, effortlessly present curated data to senior management, and make informed decisions faster. Reporting has never been easier, and the potential to implement more data-driven solutions becomes a reality when you’re not bogged down by manual data compilation.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

A simple, yet, unforgiving mistake if things go drastically wrong.

We’re not one for dramatics at Single Source but we’ve seen it time and time again, safety hazards being pushed under the rug because they were deemed as “part of the job”.

Luckily, our team has the ability to see how many safety and fatigue alerts are made with any asset of your team. This came in handy when one of our clients had three different drivers on one asset over the course of a month, and during this time, they had clocked over 20 fatigue alerts. Our team knew this was not normal. Generally speaking, around one to three fatigue events per month is a possibility, but anything exceeding this, is an issue. And one that should be dealt with immediately before anything dangerous is to occur. But again, you don’t know what you don’t know. Which is why we believe benchmarking is crucial for any business.

On a typical mining site, you’ll find 10 to 50 lighting towers operating at one time. Imagine if even just one of those lighting towers were to stop working. What impact might that have on a project, let alone the safety of the staff?

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is revolutionising the healthcare industry, enabling organisations to enhance patient care with unprecedented efficiency. However, the utility of BLE extends far beyond healthcare. It promises to redefine connectivity and operational efficiency across multiple industries. To fully appreciate BLE's transformative potential, it's essential to explore how various sectors are already benefiting from this technology, inspiring you to envision its application within your own business.

Communication is key to everything in business, and let’s face it, in life too. When there is a breakdown of communication, or when communication and intel get to the decision maker slower than is ideal, this can affect many areas of business.

One platform, that performs well in all areas, for all your business reporting and operational needs? No such thing, or so you think. You may be familiar with this narrative, you’ve been searching for a system or platform to assist you in ranking or scoring your operators but they all fall short in some way.

Not here to reinvent the wheel but still want to make waves in your industry? Gaining a point of difference that can go up against your competitors and give your customers more value is the place to start. But how do you do this when you’re battling the start-up woes?

By now, you’ve probably heard along the grapevine that the three telcos are shutting down 3G service to their network, with Vodafone already jumping the line and getting a headstart last year in December.
