Fresh Direct, the fresh produce supplier, expects to save £300,000 as a result of using Isotrak’s CANbus engine management interface to monitor and improve driving styles across a wide range of vehicles when the system is rolled out across the whole fleet at the end of 2009.
The company says that over the past couple of months the system has reduced vehicle mileage by 34,500 miles giving an additional saving of £8,000 through the real-time operational visibility provided by the vehicle tracking and performance monitoring.
ATMS has also enabled Fresh Direct to adopt a more proactive approach to customer service, not only by providing updated delivery ETAs based on real-time vehicle location, but also by minimising paperwork and admin for drivers.
