Logistics and materials management company ASCO has deployed telematics technology from Teletrac Navman to optimise its 350-strong vehicle fleet in the UK.
Headquartered in Aberdeen, ASCO operates across markets including new energy, decommissioning and oil and gas, and employs around 90 drivers in the UK, operating across a mixed fleet that includes vans and trucks.
The business required a fleet telematics solution that would enhance business compliance through tachograph downloads, increase safety with driver behaviour monitoring, and reduce fuel speed and CO2 output.
It’s deployed Teletrac Navman’s TN360 AI-powered vehicle tracking software due to its ability to deliver telematics functionalities in real-time and provide simplified, smart, predictive, and actionable insights.
The platform includes an ‘Insights’ tool that provides platform users with visibility into business and fleet operations and can be voice activated.
Rebecca Ogg, buyer at ASCO, explained: “We operate a large-scale and fast-paced business and needed to find a holistic telematics solution that would accommodate varied assets needs, from trucks, vans, trailers and fuel tankers. We really valued the fact that Teletrac Navman’s TN360 solution provides a much greater level of visibility into the data we capture from our fleet. And as a result, we believe this technology will provide us with a more transparent way of working with our customers and will allow both parties to be more informed, so that we can turn data into decisions that benefit both our business and our customers.”
The package includes the Pre-Trip checklist app, which simplifies the capture of maintenance and compliance information, and ASCO also plans to add in Teletrac Navman’s EV Readiness Tool, which provides operators with detailed recommendations of where electric vehicles could be adopted into their operation.
Peter Millichap, marketing director at Teletrac Navman UK, said: “As the world advances across all areas to become more digital, and the transport and logistics industry pushes towards a safer and more sustainable future, it’s imperative that fleet managers can access data and make decisions for the betterment of their business and the industry as a whole.”
