Road sweepers in the UK could be missing out on cost savings and better customer service by not recognising the importance of effective fleet monitoring, according to leading ‘wire-free’ telematics and network airtime provider, BOX telematics.
[UKPRwire, Tue Feb 28 2006] MAP Plant, subsidiary of Anderson Construction, regard efficient vehicle management a crucial element for commercial success and a reliable system of monitoring all its 31 road sweeping fleet. BOX has helped MAP Plant reduce costs, improve employee productivity and maximise vehicle utilisation.
MAP Plant recognises that efficient logistics and transport management is key to good customer service. Using advanced GSM technology, spotonBOX™ the vehicle monitoring device from BOX telematics, allows the company to keep track of exact vehicle location and progress, even to the point of notifying drivers of immediate emergency clean up operations.
spotonBOX™ provides MAP Plant with a vehicle management reporting system which logs driver activity, job scheduling along with sweeping activities of every brush in all the major districts of London.
Dave Manning, Account Manager at BOX telematics, said: “We received positive feedback from MAP Plant following a review of spotonBOX™. This is excellent news, and is evidence of the trust and confidence MAP Plant has in BOX.”
Steve Croucher, Plant Manager, MAP Plant added: “I knew within five minutes of our first meeting, spotonBOX™ had the right solutions having spent 12 months researching numerous fleet monitoring systems. spotonBOX™ is unique. I can set parameters for servicing hours, monitor when brushes need replacing and identify when new components are required. The nearest service vehicle can be tracked enabling MAP Plant to repair a road sweeper onsite.”
“I’ve got more control! I have full real-time visibility of all my fleet and produce audit trials of customer sites that have been swept. MAP Plant incurred huge costs for low levels of tipping. Each load can now be recorded and maximised to full capacity. I am delighted that BOX telematics has the market expertise and knowledge to meet our specific needs. Our investment is already reaping the rewards.”
