ACTIVE LINK
Just the basic level of ACTIVE LINK offers clients several advantages over and beyond their considerable savings:
Deviations from lease agreements
The service makes it easy to monitor the number of kilometers driven, which can be immediately compared with what is stated in the lease agreement. If the actual figures differ from those in the contract, whether the number is higher or lower, Arval may use this information to immediately offer a change of contractual documentation. You will therefore avoid unpleasant surprises when your lease ends.
Monitoring driver behavior and fuel savings
The Active Link service helps optimize fuel consumption. It is able to monitor how the driver handles the car. You can also compare data from different users of the same model. This makes it easy to show higher than average consumption. The Arval Active Link even makes it possible to find out if there was any wasteful driving and during which part of the route. Optimizing the handling of the car and the fuel consumption associated with it can therefore have a major economic impact. Indeed, fuel accounts for 25% of the total costs of the fleet.
But this is far and away more than just about potential fuel savings. The total costs for operating the fleet is a very important item for the customer. A total of 40% of these costs are influenced by the behavior of the driver. This information shows that the costs savings can be considerable. This is another reason why the ability to monitor driver behavior as offered by the Active Link service is so beneficial.
In addition to the economic impact, the optimization of fuel consumption affects, of course, the environment, which is an important concern for many businesses today. CO2 emissions are under control thanks to this service.
And what’s more – improving driver behavior significantly affects safety and minimizes the risk of accidents.
Locating vehicles
Another benefit is also the possibility of locating the vehicle in case of theft or accident. With this service, we are able to significantly increase the chance of finding the car in case it is stolen, and so we save not only money, but time as well. Ordering and delivering a new vehicle could take another three months. Finding a stolen car is always better because the client can be immediately mobile again. In the event of an accident, locating the vehicle helps not only in the context of increasing driver safety, but it also significantly increases the client’s overview of each vehicle in the fleet, therefore allowing them to quickly respond to the situation at hand.
The Arval Active Link is intended for all Arval clients. The service is provided completely free of charge for the first three months. Everybody can therefore test what it has to offer. Trying the service does not, however, impose any obligations on the client. Clients need not continue to use it if they do not wish to. The Arval Active Link will deactivate.
Clients will appreciate not only the service as such, but also the fact that it will be fully integrated with other fleet services. No more paperwork – a single contract and one invoice. The price for this service is already included in the lease.
The Arval Active Link service is also available on smartphones. So you can always have the latest information available.
If the client is interested, ACTIVE LINK basic can be freely extended with one or more add-ons as part of the Arval Active Link service. It just depends on which of the following three add-on services the client decides to use:
ACTIVE JOURNEY
This add-on service works as an electronic log book. It distinguishes between private and business travel. They can be pre-identified using a list of registered addresses. The driver can easily choose whether it is a business or private trip. The driver can create a clear report of his trips based automatically on pre-defined favorite locations. The driver no longer has to do anything. The system automatically recognizes whether he drove to work, visited a client, or was on a private trip. It also shows tips for fuel-efficient driving with regard to a formal assessment of eco-driving and compliance with safety standards. At the same time, however, the driver does not have to worry about a loss of privacy, for the details about private trips are visible only to him.
ACTIVE ROUTING
With this additional service, you can easily locate all the cars in your fleet in real time. All vehicles are currently displayed in the mode of business trips, including individual states: “moving”, “stopped” and “parked”. In real time you can choose the closest car for another contract, thus streamlining the allocation of contracts.
ACTIVE SHARING
This add-on is the ideal solution for cases when one vehicle is shared by multiple users. The card reader identifies a particular user and allows you to search for information such as the number of kilometers, consumption, and so on, and assign this information to that particular user. Thus, the client knows perfectly well which user had a car at a particular time, how many kilometers he drove, what his fuel consumption was, and even where the vehicle was going.
