So says TRACKER, pointing to its partnership with Express Parcel Services (EPS), which it says demonstrates the benefits to be gained by creating a rounded and relevant overview of driver and fuel efficiency.
The EPS group runs a fleet of over 150 vehicles and trailers, ranging from 3500kg vans to 44-tonne tractor units. Every vehicle is fitted with either a TRACKER Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) or a TRACKER Fleet unit, including the trailers.
Whilst EPS has seen significant savings from stolen vehicle recoveries thanks to TRACKER, the company has also been able to improve business practice and boost its bottom line by increasing utilising the telematics data available to the business through TRACKER Fleet.
Jamie Carr, fleet risk manager at EPS, said: “Although we have worked with TRACKER for over 20 years, it’s only in the last year or so that we have fully recognised the value of the fleet management data available to us.
“In particular, we have looked much more closely at driver performance data. Indeed, this has become a crucial tool for our managers when analysing their fleet’s efficiency and ways to improve it. We are also now looking at geo-measuring and fuel integration information, to see where we can cut any further unnecessary costs.
“By putting all the data sets together and analysing a complete picture we’ve been able to tackle some of the issues that all fleets face, such as fuel efficiency. By working more closely with TRACKER we have implemented a truly effective telematics solution that doesn’t require hours of deciphering large amounts of data.”
David Wilson, chief operating officer for TRACKER, said: “Our partnership with EPS is a prime example of how fleets need to work more closely with their telematics provider to get relevant information that is going to benefit them.”
