ArjoHuntleigh, which supplies medical equipment to the healthcare sector, already sources Vauxhall vans from Motiva Group, the parent company of Motrak, and has worked with the group for over a decade.
In the latest partnership, more than 300 vans owned by ArjoHuntleigh have been fitted with the devices supplied by Motrak. The units, which go live immediately, were installed in less than a month and will provide the company with real-time visibility of its entire logistical operation and help to both maximise efficiency and reduce costs.
Peter Wood, purchasing and logistics manager for ArjoHuntleigh, based in Bedfordshire, said: “We wanted to replace our existing units and Motiva Group’s Motrak system ticked all the right boxes for us.
“We have great confidence in them because of our existing relationship and their customer service, which is something that we find particularly important, is always second to none.
“The fact they installed the units so quickly was a huge bonus and their comprehensive user training programme will help us get to grips with it straight away.”
The Motrak system was redeveloped last year and can now integrate fuel card data to give fleet managers precise costs per mile. It also provides control of the company’s driver and mobile asset management process, along with information on driver behaviour that can help reduce fuel costs by as much as 20%.
The internet-based software also features mileage capture, route overlay, driver league tables, traffic warnings and excess mileage alerts that can each be tailored to individual customers.
Paul Holdcroft, head of Motrak at Stoke-on-Trent-based Motiva, said: “Our system is a major step forward in terms of the benefits it can bring to customers. There has been a real evolution in terms of technology and performance and it’s now an outstanding product in a competitive market.”
