Case Study: Wakefield Council achieves 10% cost savings with AssetWorks FleetFocus

How Wakefield Council Transformed Transport Services with AssetWorks

Wakefield Council, responsible for an 800+ vehicle fleet and 2,500+ drivers across multiple services, faced rising demands that its fragmented fleet systems could no longer meet. The council needed a single, scalable, web‑based solution to consolidate vehicle, workshop, plant and driver management, support diverse charging methods, integrate with existing systems and deliver measurable efficiency and compliance improvements.

Wakefield selected AssetWorks, implementing FleetFocus with integrated FuelFocus, KeyValet and SmartApps to create one central database, automated fuel and motor‑pool controls, mobile access and robust reporting. Within the first year the council cut Transport Services costs by over 10%, improved vehicle turnaround by 3%, reduced customer complaints to near zero, achieved full health-and-safety compliance and gained automated KPIs to drive ongoing efficiencies.
