Swift Scaffolding signs up for new FORS Fleet Management System

Swift Scaffolding has become the first Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Gold-rated organisation to sign up for the new FORS Fleet Management System (FMS).

The software, developed by FleetCheck, was launched last September for FORS members seeking to attain and maintain FORS Bronze, Silver and Gold accreditations, as set out in the FORS Standard.

The FORS FMS software replaces Swift’s previous system of whiteboards and paper used to manage its fleet of six HGVs, 14 vans, 13 company cars and nine trailers.

Swift’s logistics manager, Mervyn Rolf, said: “Being FORS Gold accredited, we need to be on the ball with every aspect of fleet management from eyesight and health checks on our drivers to safety compliance on our vehicles and trailers.

“Having our data centralised has meant I can be 100 per cent sure that all our vehicles are being constantly monitored and that no faults or defects are missed.”
