What is Vacu-Lug Fleet Management (VFM)?

The Management System

Vacu-Lug has invested approximately £0.5m in developing its management information systems, enabling us to deliver fast, reliable, timely, robust and focused management information on all aspects of tyre and associated service-related items.

  • VFM is a bespoke tyre fleet management and data storage system designed to assist in the effective management of vehicle fleets.
  • VFM captures detailed information on all tyre and service related activities including transactional and financial details at wheel position level.
  • It details service provider, date, time and location of work carried out, job sheet number, the reason for removal, tread depths, serial numbers of removed tyres and new tyres fitted, the destination of casings and any other service work carried out.
  • It records and notifies service providers of the designated tyre and husbandry policy for each Vacu-Lug customer, which is vehicle specific.
  • Hand held electronic inspection units transfer fleet inspection data directly into the VFM system, from where a bespoke range of reports can be generated. The system is also compatible with other data capture technologies.
  • VFM holds all pricing related to specific contracts including policy preferences and service costs which are updated regularly following customer review meetings.
  • It validates supplier invoices against work authorised and creates accurate invoicing in line with any contractual agreement.

Customers receive direct access to our web based Vacu-Lug Fleet Management System (VFM System).
