Synseal is a supplier of extruded PVC-U window and door profiles, sealed glass units, orangeries and conservatory roofs. The company operates a mixed fleet of heavy goods vehicles fitted from two bases in the UK, delivering to an extensive customer base of approved fabricator partners nationwide.
Accredited with the ISO14001 certificate for environmental management, Synseal recognised the potential of telematics technology in helping to reduce carbon footprint and fuel usage. According to Synseal, Microlise was selected as the telematics provider of choice, due to the comprehensive solutions available across Fleet Performance, Journey Management and Proof of Delivery platforms.
‘The benefits offered through the use of telematics fit well within our service, cost and environmental plans, which are very important to Synseal,’ said Jeff Newton, head of logistics. ‘In Microlise, we feel we have found the best partner to help us achieve these objectives in our increasingly complex transport operation.’
Matt Hague, product strategy director at Microlise, added, ‘We’re delighted to partner with Synseal. They’re a company that takes their corporate responsibility seriously – not just within their transport arm, but throughout their business.’
In phase two of the project, Synseal are planning to implement the Microlise Proof of Delivery solution to eliminate the need for delivery paperwork, further supporting Synseal’s environmental policy.
