Case Study: Northumberland County Council achieves streamlined fleet operations, compliance and cost control with AssetWorks FleetFocus

Northumberland County Council - Customer Case Study

Northumberland Council, which manages a 765-vehicle fleet, faced inefficient, unsupported fleet software, error-prone data transfers to finance, paper-based workshop processes and growing non‑compliance risks. The council needed a modern, configurable system to improve workshop operations, ensure accurate and timely financial data, and surface high‑risk compliance issues immediately.

They implemented AssetWorks FleetFocus with the EDGE mobile companion (and plan to add FuelFocus), replacing paper workflows with tablet-based inspections and real-time dashboards. The result: tighter cost coding and forecasting for £1.2M monthly fleet charges, streamlined workshops with less downtime, easier compliance monitoring, and an estimated saving of 75,360 sheets of paper (≈9 trees / 8.8 tCO2), plus improved reporting for asset replacement planning.
