The Northampton based support provider has a UK wide team of mobile workers in the Midlands, London and South of England, and works with renowned lift industry leaders such as Kone and Otis. EES UK specialises in areas such as lift CCTV and security systems, lighting and electrical equipment, fire regulation compliance, shaft steelwork, entrance-ways and flooring, and lift removal.
Using Masternaut’s Connect telematics platform, EES UK has access to a complete solution for vehicle tracking, driver monitoring and payroll information.
The operations and fleet teams have seen vehicle idling fall drastically, with instances of idling reduced by a claimed 90% in the past year alone thanks to feedback given to drivers. Other driver behaviour such as speeding and harsh events are being closely monitored too, with staff given feedback about poor driving behaviour.
EES UK's HR team now receives accurate timesheets as a result of the Connect system, giving detailed times about when staff started and finished work, as well as when they arrived on jobs. This has made the payment of overtime and general payroll more accurate.
'Our industry is all about precision and safety – there can be no failures when it comes to elevators,' explained Ray Brown, UK commercial director at EES. 'We take the same approach to our mobile workforce. Masternaut has been vital in maintaining a safe, productive workforce on the move.'
Martin Hiscox, CEO of Masternaut, added: 'It’s great to see telematics having an effect across the business at EES UK, from the finance department to the HR team. The technology has applications far beyond simple vehicle tracking as it’s more commonly known for. Timesheets, payroll, fuel reduction, driver behaviour improvement – the list goes on, and EES UK is just one example of how telematics can be utilised to become a key piece of business technology.'
